🥕 Add a fresh layer of buttercream icing to your cake
🥕 Create sweet-as-can-be carrot shapes with dabs of orange and green icing. (It’s so easy, the kids can help!)
🥕 Serve up your semi-homemade masterpiece on something elegant (like our French Perle pedestal cake plate!)

We work hard each day, and likely don’t mind if others notice. We want others to see the ingenuity of our software. But what if that wasn’t the case? If you want an example of someone that got passed by, just ask Van Gogh. Yeah, thaaaaat world-famous, earless, impressionist artist whose work today graces the walls of countless museums. The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) is currently running an exhibition showcasing how the world missed appreciating Van Gogh’s...

Last February e-commerce company Shopify Inc. replaced the “Ottawa, Canada” dateline that began its press releases and earnings reports with a strange new one: “Internet, Everywhere.” The geographical shift came at the insistence of Shopify’s founder and chief executive officer, Tobi Lütke, who tends to view such matters through the prism of cold, hard logic. In May 2020, only a few months into the pandemic, he’d made the early, seemingly rash decision to...

At Mottahedeh, we choose to be colorful. That is for dinnerware or decorative objects for your home.
The historical story is important to us, because it represents the best of a culture of the past. For our reproductions and adaptations of designs, we try to understand the perspective of someone in those times and be true to their idea. For instance, if we are making an adaptation of a dinner plate from the 1750’s we would not take one motif that is repeated six times around the plate and...

Martha Nierenberg, co-founder of Dansk, passed away at 96. She had fled the Nazis, worked at M.I.T., and fought to regain her family’s artwork. Nierenberg and her husband (who passed in 2009) brought the Dansk products (designed by Jens Quistgaard) to the U.S. market and created the Dansk brand.
Dansk in Danish means: Danish.
The School of Visual Arts (SVA) did a retrospective on Dansk which can be found here:
Outlined with the classic thread and berries motif, delicate romantic florals adorn this charming dinnerware pattern. Original artwork in watercolor and graphite depict Jasmine, Cherry Blossom, Camellia, & Wisteria blooms. Stop at Glassworks to mix and match the various Juliska Berry & Thread Floral Sketch combinations.
A shipment of handmade marble coasters, hand printed on 4" x 4" tumbled Italian marble with corked back, have arrived. Made in the USA at Studio Vertu, thousands of images are available and reasonably priced custom images/artwork are also obtainable. Stop in at either Glassworks location to see the array of choices in stock or place a custom order.
It started with just a few cards. Cordel Cordaro’s whimsical birds on greeting cards literally flew out of our MacKenzie-Childs store. Customers started talking about having his art in their homes and seeing it out in the community. We even heard touching stories about his commissioned work and the heartfelt thought that went into creating special art for Rochestarians. We realized we had a good fit on our hands and starting carrying his prints, ornaments, originals and art plack-its. Cordell ...

What Is the Perfect Color Worth?
Inside the mysterious art - and big business - of color forecasting.
Last spring, a dozen people filtered into a sunny, whitewashed conference room on the seventh floor of the Royal College of Art, overlooking London's Hyde Park. Mostly Western Europeans from different precincts of the fashion industry, they had been called together by a British man named David Shah, editor and publisher of the "Pantone View Colour Planner." The book, issued each February and ...
