New Georg Jensen Wine And Bar Collection At Glassworks!
August 1, 2024
Good wine deserves to be cared for and a carafe/decanter is the best way to avoid sediment and allow the wine to breathe. This Georg Jensen Wine And Bar Carafe not only looks beautiful, with its natural organic shape, but it is designed specifically with a wine connoisseur’s needs in mind. The shape of the decanter helps aeration highlighting the wine’s bouquet and the deep dimple in the base allows easier serving.

CHECK YOUR PLATES by JASON SOLAREK
July 31, 2024
The Wall Street Journal recently shared how the used car market has improved in the last 20 years because much of it is now conducted online. When car buyers use the web, they’re more likely to save money (about 2%) and dealers can, in theory, make more with dynamic pricing (about 2%) thereby giving each party a win. Unlike 20 years ago, when we didn’t have smartphones, today 95% of used car purchases start online. While 31% of used car purchases were completely in-person, ...

I was working on scheduling a late summer mini-vacation so I carved out an afternoon for the planning. There were so many factors to consider (where? when? how long?) on top of juggling all of us coming from different parts of the U.S. The options were staggering and required so much screen time I was just about ready to give up. When did the world at our fingertips become a negative?

I got to thinking about the astronomical number of options Americans have in every aspect of life. I’ll...

Since 1764, Baccarat has been a creator of enchanting universes. From a small town in eastern France to a symbol of the art of celebration and French joie de vivre.

Join us in toasting 260 years of history, craftsmanship, and magical places.

“That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” In 1969, as Apollo 11 touched down on lunar soil, the Baccarat 1841 Harcourt Glass stands in silent admiration of this monumental achievement. The timeless piece reflects the ...

Our Retail Predictions Featured in Tableware Today Magazine
Why only 30% of wedding gift givers will come into a store in 2030--and how we can help prepare for that
July 23, 2024
Tableware Today’s Editor Amy Stavis invited me to pen the Last Word column for the August / September issue. I start by comparing e-commerce trends for selling automobiles to selling dinner plates. Online sales in both industries have swelled in the last 25 years. (I entered the e-commerce business at the right time—in 2001.)

I predict that 70% of wedding registry gift givers will never set foot in a physical store by 2030. Currently, that number is at about 50%. If we do in fact ...
