Baguette Flatware: From Colonial Williamsburg to the Bistros of France

Baguette flatware is a simple yet elegant style silverware that you can use casually or in a formal setting. It is characterized by the teardrop shaped handle and a long ridge running down the middle. This contemporary style flatware dates back more than a century in Europe and back to colonial times in America. It is currently used in fine bistros throughout France. Due to its huge popularity, there are many manufactures that make Baguette silverware. They are most commonly made in a continental or European size and medium to heavy in weight.

At Silver Superstore, we offer a variety of options of Baguette flatware for any budget. Here are our most popular patterns. Prices listed are for a service for 12 people.

Lenox named Most Recommended Brand by women

Posted April 23 2014 in Dinnerware

Congratulations to Lenox for this prestigious award!

As the leading advocate for female consumers, WomenCertified Inc. is delighted to honor Lenox with the 2014 Women’s Choice Award® seal. This award designation is based on a national survey of thousands of women across America who were asked to select the brands they would most highly recommend to others.

“The Women’s Choice Award program works to raise awareness among consumers about which brands are most recommended by women and to honor those brands,” said Delia Passi, CEO and Founder. “By carrying the Women’s Choice Award seal, companies like Lenox signify their commitment to empower women to make smart buying choices.”

According to a 2012 Fleishman Hillard Study, today’s U.S. female consumer values the opinion of others and over half of all women consider one of their roles to be that of a broadcaster, responsible for helping others make smart choices. It is not surprising that major brands, like Lenox, now focus on delivering a customer experience women will love. The Women’s Choice Award has set the standard for helping women make smarter choices by identifying the brands most recommended and trusted by women, along with those that deliver a recommendation-worthy customer experience.

PREPARING FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER

A Christmas dinner is always special.  Family coming over, friends getting together, great food, and great drinks all complement the extravaganza of a gala Christmas dinner.  If you are hosting a Christmas dinner, you’re certainly aware of every part of your arrangement, and mindful to make your presentation as perfect as it can be.

Every part of the experience is integral to a Christmas dinner.  It isn’t as simple as serving the right food and drink, or your choice of vibrant and lively decoration.  Choosing the right Christmas flatware and dinnerware to complement  your holiday arrangement is very important as well. Christmas is a special occasion;  serving your appetizers, meal, and desserts on your everyday tableware may not be appropriate.  If you truly want to make a lasting impression on your Christmas dinner guests, using elegant Christmas dinnerware is key.

Christmas Dinnerware Brands To Consider

When it comes to Christmas dinnerware, every company has its niche, and there are a handful of companies that specialize in it.  Christmas dinnerware should be separate from your normal selection of dishes, flatware, cutlery  and platters you utilize every day.  Special occasions demand a special setting and treatment.  The brands you choose for your holiday place setting should be the very best at what they do.

• Noritake is a company many have associated with Christmas dinnerware for more than a hundred years now.  Their products are durable, affordable, and aesthetically pleasing.  Noritake’s astute craftsmanship and attention to detail is obvious in every piece of Christmas dinnerware they offer.  Their reputation as a top international brand certainly make them worth considering for your holiday dinnerware purchase.
• Lenox is not a new name for Americans.  They have been a leading tabletop and gift-ware brand for many years now, and their holiday collections are no exception.  Lenox crafts amazing cups, dinner plates, mugs, saucers, and serving pieces that will quickly add elegance and cheer to your Christmas dinner!
• Boasting one of the most diverse collections of Christmas dinnerware, Spode is clearly one of the finest British dinnerware brands, and certainly a worldwide favorite.   Their Christmas Tree line of dinnerware, which was designed in 1938, has become a traditional holiday favorite.
• Oneida is another popular brand of Christmas dinnerware.  Offering a slightly more modern, contemporary look, their dinnerware selections can add vibrancy to your table setting without being overly formal.  Oneida offers a range of holiday selections, ranging from butter spreaders, to cookie plates, even holiday themed cutting boards!
