Review of Mikasa Italian Countryside Covered Butter Dish

It is a beautiful butter dish but the inside rim of the lid is not covered in the clear enamel gloss, meaning that if the lid touches the butter, it soaks into the exposed ceramic and leaves a grease stain.I bought mine at a Mikasa outlet store and was able to exchange it for a new one.I haven't used the new one yet because I am waiting until I can find some sort of ceramic sealant so this doesn't happen again!

Product Description
The ultimate in versatility and classic appeal, a white-on-white design allows you to transition gracefully from casual to more formal occasions. A simple change of glassware, linens or the addition of colorful accent pieces creates an entirely different look with a minimum of expense and fuss. This pattern features a fluted band and a scrolling border, at home just about anywhere.

Review of Villeroy & Boch Petite Fleur Melamine Handled Tray

I bought these trays to use for eating dinner in front of the TV.I wanted something that would match my Fiestaware cobalt blue and sienna red plates -- they match great!My only negative comment would be that the trays are kind of humped in the middle causing plates and glasses to slide around on the trays when you are carrying them. The trays are also a little smaller than previous Villeroy & Boch trays I have owned.

Review of Clear 12 oz Insulated Beverage Tumbler Mug, Clear

I got two of these for my mom.She loves insulated mugs for coffee but the smallest that Tervis makes is 17oz and that's too big for her needs/wants.She was thrilled with these and now uses them every day.They are dishwasher safe and guaranteed.Four stars instead of five only because they are a little bit pricey for what they are, but not too bad.

Review of Fiesta Yellow 439 Spoon Rest

I thought buying a spoon rest would be easy. Then I started looking and found that many spoon rests on the market have a somewhat compromised functionality. Most have a neck that rises too steeply, causing longer spoons to balance precariously or fall onto the stovetop, defeating its only purpose. This lovely rest has a large spoon plate to house large spoons or even ladles. The neck is nearly flat, resulting in a rest that does exactly what it's supposed to do. Ceramic is a nice alternative to metal because it won't rust and can withstand extremely high temperatures. That it is made by Fiesta is the icing on the cake. Highly recommended.

Review of Royal Albert Moonlight Rose Cups & Saucers

This china is so gorgeous!No wimpy colors here, the blues & purple are bright & beautiful.It is too good to just sit in the china cabinet; it makes every cup of tea, coffee or eggnog a delight.Enjoying it is one way of being mindful, present and grateful.I have had this china for about 15 years and just never grow tired of it.The gold edges have not worn out.I do follow the manufacturer's washing instructions exactly, so I'm sure that makes a difference.(Hand wash these dishes for long-term enjoyment).There was a time that the pattern was discontinued, but it is back in production so thankfully, there are no worries about replacing broken dishes.We have only had one break; it helps that we are careful.We have not had problems with knife marks on the plates.I should note that I do not serve anything that is difficult to cut on these, though.I'm just not brave enough!Yes, we'll eat chicken on them, but not t-bone. So, even after 15 years of frequent use, I would still use this china for the most distinguished visitor.If you know the pope, president, somebody.... ?Send 'em over!

Review of Dansk Urban Picnic Portable Place Setting

I was totally convinced that these charming tray/dish sets would make dinner-at-the-coffee-table a lot easier and more fun. Alas, they have rarely been used ... too much hassle! The adorable bud vase and salt/pepper shakers just add unnecessary extra steps to cleanup, and I worry about stainable food overflowing onto the bamboo tray. Right now these trays sit semi-permanently on a counter ledge looking cute, and I use regular plates to bring food to the coffee table.

Product Description
Create a portable compact, instant table setting with this all-in-one set. Porcelain tableware nestles in recesses of divided plate that rests atop bamboo tray.

Review of Gorham Crystal Lady Anne Signature Iced Teas

These are beautiful glasses.I got them because they matched my wine goblets, and am so pleased with them.They have a nice weighty feel to them and a beautiful ring to them when pinged.They are not so delicate that you are afraid you will chip them if you clink glasses during a toast.The size of them is very versatile - I use them rather than water goblets on the table and they're nice to put out with bar ware for soft drinks too.

Review of Gorham Flatware Studio 67 Pc. Set W/ Chest

Sitting down to dinner with this clean elegant set is a joy to look at as well as to hold. It has been through everyday use and holiday settings for a decade. I liked it so much so that when the ex got this set in the divorce, finding the boxed set as a replacement in one purchase made eating at home with my children feel more like "home" again. Very tempted to get another set, one for each of them. It holds up well, doesn't scratch easily, and the manufacturing is of very good quality. No "stains" at the joints between the knife blade and the handle in ten years.

The box it comes in is a black lacquered finish with red velvet interior. I did get extra large spoons and some of the other serving pieces for those holiday settings with lots of serving platters and bowls.

I love the design, the heft, the balance, the shine.
Gorham stopped making this pattern in 2004. So supplies will be harder to find as time goes on.

Review of Jasper Conran at Wedgwood Gravy Boat

I just used my gravy boat for the first time and was very disappointed. No matter how you pour it, gravy drips off the bottom and is very messy. We ended up having to put a salad plate underneath, otherwise gravy would have gotten all over the tablecloth. It is nice looking but not very functional.

Review of RAFFAELLO Raffaello Oil & Vinegar cruet [Prod. OV102-RAF]

If you love Italian pottery, this is a beautiful set to have on your table.I love mine, it reminds me of my beloved Italy every time that I use it.The product it handmade and beautifully painted and glazed.The design is classic and found on many products for sale in Deruta.

I don't know if the products of Deruta are made of any special clay, but they are remarkably tough.I have many pieces of Deruta pottery and none of them have chipped or cracked.Since I can not say the same thing about other items in my home, I assume that it must be the materials.

I highly recommend this item to anyone that loves Italy or Italian culture.

Product Description
RAFFAELLO Collection: Among the most popular and enduring Italian majolica patterns, the classic "Raffaellesco" traces its origin to 16th century, and the graceful arabesques of Raphael's famous frescoes.The stylized dragon of the central motif was reputedly painted first by Raphael, a master painter and architect of the Italian High Renaissance.Raffaellesco is a benevolent deity who bestows good luck and fair winds to seagoing merchants, thus the puffs of wind steaming from thedragons mouth.

Review of Cambridge Glass Tempo #3700 Champagne/Sherbets

Try this: assemble some tumblers of various heights, a brandy snifter, a dish-shaped champagne glass (called a coupe), a champagne flute, and a traditional stemmed wine glass. Measure identical amounts of wine, three ounces for example, and pour into each glass. Wait a minute or two and then sniff the bouquet from each glass.Does it seem more pronounced from any particular one?
If one of the glasses seems to nurture a more profound bouquet, wait a few minutes and repeat the experiment. This time, sniff the most productive glass after you have tried all the others. If it still promotes the bouquet more than the others, you can be sure that the shape is the difference. This experiment is one of several inNew Short Course in Wine,The
Now take a taste from each of the glasses. Was there a clear-cut winner? If there was, why wouldn't you use that glass for all the cold beverages that you drink?If you're a relentlessly scientific type, you might try this experiment with both a cheap wine and a more expensive one. Youcould continue on, sampling reds and whites, sweet wines and dry.

The results of my experiments with glasses suggest that champage coupes and brandy snifters are a waste of time. Both probably fair for the same reason, they're too big to contain the aroma of a drink.
Reach instead for the now common champagne flute and the smaller, tulip shaped spirits glass.
