Annieglass: A New Classic






Annieglass is a new classic. One of the early (1980's) new expressions of the current attitude of the table setting being art as well as the cooking, this beautiful handmade work has been recognized as a world class fine art and can be found in the collections of museums around the world. Every piece bears an engraved signature insuring its authenticity and quality.


Annieglass mixes with everything. The classic simplicity of its 24K gold or genuine platinum band around undulating translucent glass complements almost every china pattern. Because the metallic borders are sandwiched between layers of the glass, Annieglass is also highly durable and dishwasher safe.


Mixed as a charger, dessert plate, bread-and-butter dishes, dessert set or as serving pieces on your table, Annieglass can update older/traditional pieces, or it can serve as a high-style ground for more contemporary tableware. One can mix lots of pattern or little pattern, almost all work. It is elegant as well as casual and an excellent gift, bridal registry item or collectible.


For elegance, mix it with fine Limoge. For a more casual look, set it with Italian majolica, French faience, earthenware, or artist ceramics. Consider adding an extra serving piece to your table, or make it all the serving pieces. Let its gold or platinum band set off the dinner plate against the table. Just consider the warm or cool band of gold or platinum and how it works with the rest of your room's decor.


I have had Annieglass for 25 years and while I change, add, or delete many other patterns, the Annieglass remains a constant.
