New Dinnerware from Raynaud!

Raynaud Porcelain Limoges Tableware and Dinnerware has introduced a new amazing collection of fine china called "Silver". Silver is a fun dinnerware line which is named after a common theme of all the piece in this collection, the color silver. The fun thing about this collection is its diversity in each plate, bowl, or cup's pattern. Some have just a silver rim around the inner and outer edge, other pieces have a clover pattern covering the surface or just the rim. The clovers look as if they are made from bent metal and are attached together by a tiny ring and come in different sizes depending on the piece of china. Though very different, together this collection forms a cohesive and interesting look for the table you must try.

Carved from Stone; Georgia Ivory China by J.L. Coquet


The Georgia Ivory Fine China from J.L. Coquet is an elegant yet simple piece of art, reminiscent of a marble statue you'd fine in an art museum. The Georgia's flower and vine pattern is adroitly carved out of Limoges ivory porcelain or white porcelain. It is a fine China Dinnerware that is versatile in all situations; it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Though stunning, its lack of color will draw attention to the presentation of the food.

The serving pieces are quite lovely in this collection. My favorite being the Georgia Ivory Soup Tureen. It is elegantly detailed from the knob on the top to the ornately cut handles on the sides. This collection is an understated testament to the simplicity of beauty. Click here to view all of the fine china dinnerware and serving pieces by J.L. Coquet available at Sallie home.
