Josephinenhütte
October 10, 2024
It speaks volumes that the first line acquired by Maison3Amis after the purchase of DeVine Corp., a three-decade distributor of luxe European tableware, was Josephinenhütte, the five-year-old German-based maker of lightweight, thin-walled stemware and accessories. The Maison3Amis team (hereafter known as M3A) is helmed by two one-time Baccarat execs, Jim Shreve and Sally Burnside, who appreciate a nonpareil drinking glass, and Mark Brashear, who quickly recognized the allure of the brand. &...

Spotlight Pattern: Costa Nova Marrakesh
October 10, 2024
Costa Nova’s Marrakesh was designed by famed French florist Christian Tortu, inspired by Yves Saint Laurent’s Les Jardins de Majorelle, the couturier’s botanical garden in Marrakesh that features the warm tones of sandy walls, vibrant spice colors found in bustling markets, and the rich hues of traditional fabrics, a collection with a keen eye to sustainability and Moroccan mystique.

The More Things Change
October 10, 2024
This issue marks my 40th year chronicling the tableware industry, the last 28 as the founder and editor of Tableware Today. Spend four decades in an industry and you see change: sometimes sweeping (lifestyle shifts/consolidations/e-commerce); sometimes specific (Covid/less entertaining at home/rising costs). On the other hand, four decades is just a blip in the life of many tableware producers. Our industry, really, is a contradiction in so many ways: a heritage category that must remain fresh, ...

NEW FOR FALL: Poterie Coffee Cups! ☕🍁
October 10, 2024
The Poterie Coffee Cups are a new chapter in our Coffee Story narrative. Each cup presents a reactive glaze that is attentively applied to the edge, allowing it to drip naturally down the sides, resulting in a finish that makes every piece unique.

In Portugal, where the coffee moment is valued, this artistic and carefully controlled - yet delightfully unpredictable - decoration process guarantees that each cup tells its own story, much like the conversations shared over a warm espresso.

Inspired by the striking form and strength of the Dahlia flower, each piece in the Dahlia collection is a celebration of nature’s resilience and beauty. ⁠

“When you hold a Dahlia in your hand, it is like peering into the universe. Each interconnected petal, perfectly imperfect and in harmony with the next, coming together to create something magnificent.” - M.⁠ View Post
