Thomas O'Brien by Reed & Barton Austin Floral Indigo Fine Ironstone Sugar Bowl

Thomas O'Brien by Reed & Barton Austin Floral Indigo Fine Ironstone Sugar Bowl Review



Thomas O'Brien by Reed & Barton Austin Floral Indigo Fine Ironstone Sugar Bowl Feature

  • One sugar bowl with lid
  • Ironstone
  • Austin floral indigo
  • Dishwasher safe
Austin Floral is a fresh botanical pattern that was inspired by a 19th century European set of transferware dishes, and it shares the antique's amazing naturalism. A flowing layout that travels across the plate takes its cues from Aesthetic Movement and early Modern china. Multiple motifs of fruiting branches are boldly scaled for a modern feeling: designs include, pears, cherries, peaches, plums, currants strawberries and blackberries, which are all dotted with butterflies and bees. Images vary from dish to dish, emphasizing a whimsical, one-of-a-kind look. Austin Floral is produced in a fine ironstone for a practical everyday use, and is both dishwasher and microwave safe. Color ways include indigo, a blue-on-ivory treatment in the same dark cobalt shade as the Marielle Indigo china; and Ivory, a subtle grey-beige-on-ivory version. Both looks are designed to work in combination with the Marielle family.

Reed & Barton Arbor Collection Chip & Dip

Reed & Barton Arbor Collection Chip & Dip Review



Reed & Barton Arbor Collection Chip & Dip Feature

  • Easy-care polished aluminum
  • Elegantly gift boxed
  • Durable and versatle
  • Complements other Arbor Collection serving pieces
  • Wash by hand; elegantly gift-boxed
Formed into fluid, organic shapes, the Arbor Collection of serving ware from Reed & Barton is comprised of a highly durable aluminum alloy, one of the latest trends in tableware. Polished to a mirror finish, the aluminum feels densely weighted, resists nicks and dents, and can feature artistically sculpted detail. Each piece or set comes elegantly gift-boxed for special occasion giving.

Perfect for parties indoors or out, this unbreakable chip-and-dip set won't cause worry on a stone patio. The round tray with high sides keeps chips from falling overboard, and features two sculpted leaf handles for carrying. Nestling into a central well is the removable leaf-shaped dip bowl, ready for a cup or so of salsa, smoked-salmon-and-cream cheese, or any other favorite dip. The set handsomely complements a bread tray, salad bowl set, and other items in the Arbor Collection, all of which are best washed by hand, as dishwasher use will dull the bright finish. --Ann Bieri Reed & Barton Arbor Collection Chip & Dip. Made of easy-care polished aluminum.
