Nedele Serving Collection — Banquet

ELZORVAN Table — where the household reports for dinner

Serving is choreography; the Nedele knows the steps — a soup tureen that arrives like an announcement, sauce boats that pour without incident, and centrepieces that leave room for both candles and elbows.

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

• Porcelain, silver and crystal mixed by the house rules
• Lids and ladles included where the piece asks
• Tureens, platters and alzatas that run a banquet

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.
