I Want the Ocean Right Now; Beach-Inspired Limoges Porcelain by Raynuad

This spring season, the store has brought in a lot of beach and ocean inspired products. Seeing these products day after day has got me dreaming about collecting seashells, sand between my toes, and basking in the sun. I want the ocean right now! But since the closest body of water to me is the Mississippi, I have to find ways to bring the ocean to me. If you are like me and are landlocked, do what I have done and bring the ocean to your home decor. Raynaud, a top manufacturer of Limoges porcelain, has a couple ocean-inspired items that I love.

The Theo D'or vase by Raynaud is the perfect tabletop accessory for a beachy feel. The vase is made of Raynaud's classic white porcelain and is encapsulated by a giant hand-painted octopus. The octopus come in three very vibrant yet cool, ocean colors; white, turquoise, and red. The colors are so amazing, they make the octopus come alive and pop off the vase. It would make a great gift for anyone with a beach house.

Save Your Wine With Carrol Boyes's Wine Bottle Stoppers

I rarely ever finish a bottle of wine in one night but I hate wasting the wine. To save the wine for a later date, I typically use the bottle's cork to stop up the bottle. The cork works fine; that is when little pieces of the cork don't flake off and fall into the wine or the bottle, like most now-a-days, uses a plastic cork which i often have trouble fitting back into the bottle. In addition to these problems, I find the cork to look a little tacky, especially if I'm having a dinner party. Fortunately, I have found a beautiful solution. Carrol Boyes has a fabulous collection of uniquely stylized bottle stoppers.

Carrol Boyes truly creates functional art with these stoppers. With Carrol Boyes bottle stoppers you can top your bottle with a crown, a sultan, a woman, a table bay, or a moghul. These bottle stops are the prefect gift for anyone or any occasion; whether you are saying thank you for coming to my bridal shower or saying hello to your new neighbor. Gift giving is in the details and presentation, it is a visible way to show your appreciation and love; so why not tie one of these bottle stops around the neck of bottle or attach one to a gift-box when giving stem or barware?

All Shapes and Glazes for the Table: Jaune de Chrome

Jaune de Chrome is one of the most contemporary and innovative designers in the tabletop industry. They push the envelope, especially in glazing and shape, creating a unique look in fine china that has been utilized in many upscale hotels and restaurants.

Jaune de Chrome does the traditional round plate but I find his other, more shapely plates most interesting. For dinnerware they have the prelude plate and the square plate. The prelude plate is a curved square plate with a rounded center and the he square plate is completely squared with slightly rounded edges to smooth out the look. Both are phenomenally attractive, come in different sizes and will standout in any tableset.

My pick for the prelude shape is the Big Bang Gold Prelude Charger. Placing a round dinner plate atop of this charger will bring another dimension to the dinnerware set. For the square plate, I love them in the Bora Bora pattern. The Bora Bora square plates bring a dark and modern feel to the table.

J. L. Coquet: More Than Fine China

J.L. Coquet is well known for his fine china built on the classic Limoges tradition. He is also known for creating functional art for the table with his avant garde designs and innovative shapes. What most people do not realize is that J.L Coquet goes beyond fine china to create a fantastic line of flatware, keeping in mind all the traits that make his china so special: innovative design and hand-crafted quality.

J. L. Coquet's flatware is truly brilliant. J. L Coquet's Infini Khazard flatware compliments his Khazard Platinum China Dinnerware which both sport the same detailed flower design. But this particular flatware is versatile, it is definitely not limited to use with just this one china pattern; it would compliment any simple yet unique dinnerware pattern. The Infini Khazard is one of J L Coquet simpler styles, so if you are looking to go more avant garde, try looking at his Nenuphar pattern of flatware.

The Mottahedeh Ring Tray; The Perfect Home Gift

Finding the perfect gift can be an arduous task, especially if you do not know the person very well or they are the type of person who has everything. For these occasions I found myself giving very luxurious but very generic gifts of lotions, candles and frames as gifts. I thought these were low risk, who couldn't love these gifts? Then maybe there are more people out there like my dad, to whom I gave a fragrant lotion to after noticing his dry skin, only to find out afterwards that he hates fragrances; he even uses scent-free antiperspirant. After completely missing the target on this gift, I made it my mission to find a better gift to give for anniversaries, birthdays, fathers’ day, and mothers’ day. I found the perfect gift after searching high and low: a ring tray.

Ring Trays are a very cute and definitely a more personal gift to give to friends and family. My favorite ring trays are by Mottahedeh. These wonderful trays have many great saying and words of wisdom - like “A faithful friend is a strong defense” or “knowledge indeed is a desirable and lovely possession” - surrounded by beautiful decoration. They are the perfect gift not only because they are beautiful but they also serve multiple purposes and can go anywhere in the house. Don’t let the name ‘ring tray’ fool you, these trays can be used for rings, keys, coins, and soap -just to name a few. Or they can simply be used as decoration and a constant reminder of advice to live by.

Fish and Tortoises for Dinner; Anna Weatherley Dinnerware

In an earlier blog, I talked about my affection for the Jaune de Chrome Tortoise dinnerware collection. After writing about these plates, I was looking at pictures from the New York City Showroom in the fall and saw a Tortoise Jaune de Chrome Charger combined with the perfect accent plate; the Anna Weatherley Antique Fish salad plate.


The Antique Fish collection is beautiful white porcelain, rimmed with gold, and in the center there is a hand-painted image of a fish. There are fifteen different salad plates to choose from for your tabletop, each featuring a different type of fish, varying in color and shape. My favorite fish are the ‘Aqua and Gold,’ ‘Lt. Blue/Yellow,’ and the ‘Orange, Lavender, Aqua.’ Whichever fish or fishes you choose, the gold rim incorporates perfectly with the Tortoise Plates, highlighting its beautiful flecks of gold and brown.

Raynaud Petit Trianon China: Tableware Fit for a Queen

Petit Trianon China by Raynaud Limoges Tableware is full service china fit for a Queen, in fact it was. The Petit Trianon dinnerware collection is a reproduction of the china that Marie Antoinette used on her travels from Austria to Versailles. While at Versailles, Ms. Antoinette frequently lived in a small chateau on the palace grounds named the Petit Trianon, which is where this china collection received its name.

The Petit Trianon china dinnerware, serving pieces, and gifts are all decorated with a royal flower garland of kingly blues, golds, yellows, and greens. In honor of Marie Antoinette, the china gifts and powder room accessories, like the pill box, dish and candle pot, are all marked with a 'M' and an 'A' monogram. Besides those gift accessories, my favorite piece is from dinnerware; it is the Petit Trianon Tea Cup and Saucer. It embodies everything this collection has to offer in design; it looks so sophisticated and is dainty enough for a queen to use in her white gloves. The saucer separates itself from other Tea Cups and Saucers; this saucer is shaped more like a bowl than a plate - ensuring that a drip will never fall onto your gown.

Juane de chrome Tabletop: Cream Scale Dinnerware

I learned a new word today - or should i say style - that is as cool as it sounds; Majolica. Mojolica is a pottery term in regard to a type of glazing process on earthenware. In Majolica, a white tin glaze is applied to the raw surface of the earthenware before being fired. Once applied, the pottery is then fired at a low temperature which restricts the flow of the glaze as it melts, producing a soft, opaque, directed, glossy surface. This is a unique glazing process that makes these ceramic pieces stand apart from other wares. A great example of this is the Cream Scale Dinnerware Collection by Jaune de Chrome.

The Cream Scale collection, available with either a platinum or a gold rim, is perfect for a contemporary setting or a formal event. The Finition Mug from the collection is the perfect start to any morning accompanied with a fresh newspaper, or the fitting end to a wonderful dinner with friends. The natural coloring of this dinnerware collection makes it a perfect accompaniment to a table set styled with a cool colored palette of greens and blues. Jaune de Chrome has much more table sets in this magnificent glaze. Click here to directly view Jaune de Chrome tableware available at Sallie Home.

With cold weather this time of the year, people want something to warm them up, and I found the perfect gift that will do just that.

There's Alot to Offer Your Table with the Hemisphere Limoges Porcelain Collection by J.L. Coquet

In my opinion, simplicity is best, especially when it comes to selecting fine china. It is like the little black dress of tabletops. You can change the whole look of the china just by adding accessories or accent pieces; something as little as a napkin or glass. It is very versatile; you can make it formal one day then casual the next. This is why I love the Hemisphere Collection by J.L. Coquet, a French manufacturer of Limoges porcelain.

The Hemisphere Collection is simply white porcelain that is enhanced by its texture and its rim, which comes in many different colors. One can choose from the Hemisphere Cream, Matte Gold, Matte Platinum, or White; all of which are simple yet elegant. If you are interested in something more unique or ornate, I suggest looking at Hemisphere's Transat or Gold Stripe pattern.

The dinnerware in this collection is great, however, my favorite part of the Hemisphere collection is the service pieces and the simple accent pieces of the dinnerware. The rim soup plate comes with a lid which adds a lot to the presentation and also to the bowl's function by keeping the food hot. The service pieces are really spice up this collection's simple look, making it more unique and avant-garde. Some of the pieces, like the teapot or the creamer, separate themselves with their unique form and shape. Other pieces, like the sugar bowl and another teapot appear classical in style except they have interesting metal accents as handles. In J.L. Coquet's Hemisphere Limoges Porcelain collection it's all in the delicate details. Click here to check out all of J.L. Coquet's Collection available at Sallie Home.
