TABLETOP UPDATE www.kitchenwarenews.com ■ JUNE 2014 ■ KITCHENWARE NEWS & HOUSEWARES REVIEW 1 3 JAM, JELLY & SO MUCH MORE! Add gourmet flair to homemade jams with Le Parfait faceted jam jars, the pinnacle of quality when it comes to storing your preserves. But don't just stick with the classics. Go wild on the wings of a trend, like making little "cheesecakes in a jar." From scrumptious preserves, marmalade glazes, special chutneys, to yummy spoon sweets, the bounty of ideas is endless. These little conversation starters give the perfect "home-made" touch when making candles (great gift idea), serving desserts such as homemade ice cream, or packing a little cupcake for that special someone's lunch. Each jar is dishwasher safe, easy to clean, and comes with a "Home Made" lid cheerfully stating the obvious in bright blue letters! Available in four sizes from 11 to 22 ounces. Made in France. Down To Earth Distributors, Inc. 800.234.5932 www.DowntoEarthDistributors.com Ca' D'Oro Dinnerware from Sieger by Furstenberg Gothic architecture inspired Michael Sieger to include the form of the quatrefoil, a decorative element – often found in intricate tracery – that bears an abstract resemblance to a flower. Ca' d'Oro, the "golden house" that lends its name to the collection, is the famous palazzo on the banks of the Grand Canal in Venice, this floating city that was once the designer's second home for a few years and a place to which he still feels attached in many ways. He got married there and it is still home to many of his f riends. The new decor is therefore an expression of personal experiences and feelings. "For me, Ca' d'Oro symbolizes precious time and treasured moments spent in the company of family and f riends – and enriched by beautiful objects." Ca' d'Oro is dedicated to all those who appreciate precious materials. The delicate band of gold is applied and burnished by hand to each and every one of the 35 pieces, and lends warmth to the otherwise understated decor. Although the plates, bowls, cups and tea accessories harmonize with each other, their patterns form exciting contrasts – especially when flat and tall products are combined. The striped espresso cup, for example, can be placed on a small saucer with a star motif. The dinner service unites the quality of handmade brand-name dishes with universal functionality. The diameters and dimensions of the individual pieces have been coordinated so that they can be mixed and matched in a host of combinations – and with a wall thickness of just two- and-a-half millimeters. Porcelain manufacturer FÜRSTENBERG handcrafts and decorates the beautifully shaped products with precision and using traditional techniques – quality that can be both seen and felt for a little luxury every day. The collection is available immediately. Retail prices range from $88 to $558. Retailer inquiries should be directed to Florian Marquardt, Director International Sales at +49.5271.401.137 or by email at f.marquardt@fuerstenberg-porzellan.com.
