it's here!!!

Rosanna Fashion Tableware is a Seattle based store with a cult following. She has a beautiful and very elaborate collection of tableware she designs that are a must-see. Her King's Road Holiday Collection has been greatly anticipated by her fans- including me. I doubt I could ever bring myself to use them, but I would defiantly want to have them on display year round! Here are some details from the King's Road and Rococo Noir Holiday 2006 Collections.

Set a table fit for a king (or queen!) with beautiful tableware in four majestic designs. Our crowning collection is dubbed after an historic road in Chelsea, today a hip London scene. Detailed in 24-karat gold, they lend an imperial accent to a ‘High Street’ holiday table, and are particularly regal with our new white dinner plate.

Made of- Refined porcelain

Care- Not for use in microwave; hand washing recommended

Like a better-than-basic black dress, this collection steps right out off the runway in the strongest color the season. Reminiscent of the exuberant style of the mid-18th century, it sets the stage for accessorizing with gold, silver, platinum, white — or anything you please.
Made of- Sturdy stoneware
Care- Microwave and dishwasher safe; hand washing recommended

"drawing on her love of Italy, she collaborated with Italian artisans and factories to produce her original line. When the truckload of dishes finally arrived at the doorstep of her bungalow, she unloaded the shipment herself and washed each piece by hand. One million dishes and over 20 years later she runs her brisk business out of a teeming warehouse in Seattle, Washington, shipping truckloads of stylish tableware to destinations across the states and around the globe. Her unique boutique, aptly named Rosanna, is located in Seattle’s European-flavored outdoor shopping center, University Village. " Rosanna Bowles at rosannainc.com.
