When a white bowl is anything but basic, our Prosperity bowl with its 3-dimensional detailed rim in a matte finish is an adaptation of George Washington's dinner service dating back to the 1700s. The original was English salt glaze that we updated to high fired hard porcelain. This is just one of the pieces from Mount Vernon collection.

Time. It's a concept that permeates every aspect of our lives, either consciously or not. From the small moments of our daily routines to the grandest, long-term plans, time shapes every facet of our lives.
“Yesterday is gone…”
It's weighed heavily on me recently, consuming my brain space in a desire to understand it in its entirety. To share, here is a short (but not at all complete) example of the train of thought from a night this week surrounding the idea of "time...

In the next few months, each one of us will be stepping away from our desk or retail store to go do something very important. One of us will drive over to the local library, one of us to the town hall, and one of us to an elementary school in the area. But the common denominator is that we will all be waiting in a long line somewhere, maybe even outside in the cold, while the chilly wind brushes against our cheeks. We will all leave the comfort of our homes and warmth and put ourselves into this...

Since we ❤️ retail at Shop Local, we’re happy to share that a Paris museum has documented the history of department stores over two centuries. Much of what we know today about retail from indie stores to Amazon dates back to these stores.
Bamboo melamine combines timeless elegance and the natural look of bamboo to create a carefree, but classy, table setting. Our classic bamboo style gets reimagined with an all-white finish or in natural. With a bamboo inspired rim and a brilliant white surface, the generous round dinner plate, salad plate, and cereal bowl make for the perfect coordinated serving set. Kid friendly for the backyard & patio.

When word got to our gnome figurine, idling away their summer in our warehouse, that a colleague was hiking Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, the gnome pulled some major "gnome-itude" and demanded to join the trip. Along the way, the little diva insisted on commemorating reaching the summit in multiple pictures (although does hitching a ride in a backpack actually count?😉). When a mushroom was spotted on the descent, like a bird to water, the prima donna ...

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, ...

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 ...
