Have to hold up the banner for the good stuff from back home here:

Real quality crockery and cutlery that'll last a lifetime.

Don't know about availability in Ireland though.

I'd recommend Villeroy & Boch crockery and WMF cutlery.

Good luck finding either of those brands in a charity shop!

+1 Top drawer cutlery - pun intended!

Arnotts, Meadows and Byrne and Kitchen Complements are listed under UK retailers! I bought my WMF cutlery in Debenhams in Jervis St. several years ago.

+1 for WMF and Villeroy and Boch, plus Rosenthal and Thomas (more for the everyday stuff and also part of the Rosenthal group) are pretty good too.
