Sgrafito Serving Collection — Banquet

ELZORVAN Table — where the household reports for dinner

Serving is choreography; the Sgrafito 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

• Replacement pieces ship singly, painted to the same hand
• Porcelain, silver and crystal mixed by the house rules
• Lids and ladles included where the piece asks

Care

Porcelain with gilt edges washes by hand — dishwashers dull gold in a hundred cycles. Everyday whites tolerate the machine on glass cycles at 50 degrees.

Stack plates with the felts provided; hairline crazing on antiques is history, on new pieces a bench matter — call us either way.
