Lattiera Service for 6

ELZORVAN Table — where the household reports for dinner

The Lattiera is where the household reports for dinner: porcelain fired at 1,400 degrees until it rings, cobalt and gilt laid by brush, services graded for six, twelve or a banquet of twenty-four with the serving pieces counted honestly.

The kiln rooms fire porcelain at 1,400 degrees until it rings; painters then lay cobalt and gilt by brush, plate by plate, signing the underside of every dozen. Crystal is mouth-blown and hand-cut on stone wheels, annealed overnight, and rung once at the bench — a clear note is the works' idea of a signature.

Design & Craft

• Cobalt and gilt laid by brush, dozen by dozen
• Replacement pieces ship singly, painted to the same hand
• Everyday whites take the machine; gilt washes by hand

Care

Crystal washes one piece at a time in warm water, dries with a lint-free cloth, and stores upright, never hanging by the foot. Decanters dry over a wooden peg, not a spout-down guess.
