Spring is in the Air with Anna Weatherley Porcelain

Anna Weatherley, an international designer, began her collection of hand painted porcelain in the early 1990’s. Each piece of fine china is hand painted by highly gifted artists in Budapest, Hungary. These artists are trained to mix the vibrant colors and delicate details seen in each one of Anna’s designs. Due to their technique, flowers, fruits, and butterflies are enlivened on fine white porcelain; and each piece becomes not only dinnerware, but a work of art.

The botanical patterns and nature-inspired themes make Anna Weatherley china a perfect table setting for many purposes. To welcome spring, we at LCR suggest mixing dinner plates from the Flowers of Yesterday collection with serving pieces from the Spring in Budapest collection. The dinner plates feature life-sized flowers and butterflies and can act as a focal point on your table, while the serving pieces add a nice complement without taking attention from the place settings. To achieve a more casual table or to add more color, mix in a botanical ramekin, teapot, or platter from Mustardseed and Moonshine. Add a fun napkin and napkin ring from Dransfield and Ross, and your spring table is complete.

Though many of Anna Weatherley’s patterns are reminiscent of spring, the line is also very versatile. The gold tones of the Amber Leaf collection make it an ideal pattern for autumn. Add an Anna Weatherley Pumpkin colored charger to keep with the gold theme, or try it in Blue to pick up the accents of the blue butterflies and dragonflies on the dinnerware. The Seascape Shells and Antique Fish collections are just the thing for a coastal home dinner party. The Simply Anna collection is a popular bridal registry item – the white porcelain and gold trim are the essence of simplicity and elegance.



The Anna Weatherley collection also features many great gift items, such as vases, small dishes and tea sets. These make wonderful gifts for any occasion. Whether it be for Mother’s Day, an anniversary, or a special birthday, any hand painted Anna Weatherley gift is sure to be well received.

Prepare your table for spring (or year-round) with the elegant and whimsical designs of Anna Weatherley china. Dress it up or dress it down – either way your guests will be amazed at the beauty of hand painted works of art inspired by nature.

Sophistication and Style - Dinnerware and Home Accessories by L'objet

Founded in 2004 by former interior designer Elad Yifrach, L’objet’s designs capture the beauty of the natural world by blending ancient techniques with modern-day style. The line features everything from dinnerware to serving pieces to picture frames and other home accessory items.

L’objet’s dinnerware is handcrafted fine Limoges porcelain, and it incorporates materials such as 14k gold or platinum. The Byzanteum dinnerware collection comes in various style borders – including 24k gold, platinum, and a combination of both mixed with rose gold – a combination reminiscent of unique blends found in nature. We at LCR think mixing all three border styles make the most interesting and unique tabletop statement. Pair this dinnerware with a gold beaded placemat and silk napkin from Kim Seybert, and you’ll have a table setting filled with warmth and elegance. Use a mixed-metal Dualite platter and wine chiller by L’objet with this china for added sophistication while entertaining guests.



The home décor collections by L’objet are equally as elegant as their dinnerware collections. The scented candles, which come in porcelain holders adorned with a 14k gold trim, have proven to be one of the most popular gift items chosen by LCR shoppers. The ornament on the lid of each candle holder adds a personal touch. If you have a special photo you wish to display, a gold or platinum L’objet frame is an excellent choice. Use frames from the Scales collection to show off photos of your friends and family (we like mixing the various sizes and materials to make a unique statement), or display a wedding photo in a L’objet Garland frame in platinum and Swarovski crystals.

Whether you are interested in making a sophisticated yet unique table setting, or shopping for elegant home accessories or the perfect gift, L’objet is sure to have many possibilities that will suit your design and decoration needs, and we at LCR are happy to help.
