DINING AND ENTERTAINING

Rouge Poppy Dinnerware by Torida Glass

Handcrafted with the gentle touch and the creative eye of a true artist, Rouge Poppy Dinnerware by Torida Glass captures nature’s best behind glass. This gorgeous luxury dinnerware collection features vibrant red poppies displayed on kiln-formed glass, and decorated with elaborate 24-kt. gold detail. Crafted by designers Madeleine and Andrei Radian of Romania, the collection revives an old-world tradition forgotten for 1,500 years. "We have developed our own way of making glass,” says Madeleine Radian of the process, which involves trapping colored minerals and materials between layers of glass, which is kiln-fired at 800 degrees Celsius. “Through our glass we tell the story about places that we always keep with us, in our hearts and in our memories. It's a story about the sun, water and sandy beaches, about nature.” Wonderful organic designs come to life on this decorative and functional dinnerware collection, which includes aperitif plates, dinner plates, soup bowls, a gorgeous cake set, a fruit bowl, a flower bowl and a candle holder. It’s almost too pretty to use… almost. Buy the Rouge Poppy Dinnerware at Neiman Marcus.
