Create a Bold Table with sengWare Dinnerware

sengWare

One of the nicest thing about sengWare is the bold look you can create with it on your dinner table. Sold in a 4 piece place setting, it encourages you to mix and match to create an eclectic setting. My favorite is to mix the Heaven shade of blue with the Pistachio green. It really brings a modern retro flare to any meal.

It pays to have a few settings in all of the different colors so you can select which one to use by the dish you are serving. I love serving cream based soups in the Blueberry shade and nothing looks nicer than a red pasta sauce on the plain white. Really, all the colors have their place, so you can add new colors to your collection little by little.

Choose from a square or round place setting and add in cocktail plates and a 48 ounce pitcher filled with water to dress your table up even more. Cook up some individual bread puddings in the cute ramekins and you have instant portion control. Something we can all use during the holiday eating-fest.

You can even use it to have a tea party gift exchange on Christmas morning. The tea pot has a hip asymmetrical look and holds a full 36 ounces of freshly brewed Earl Grey. Cook up an orange cranberry coffee cake in the sengWare casserole dish and then serve it up on the hors d’oeuvre plates. You can even put an assortment of scones on one of the platters. The ramekins are perfect for orange marmalade and clotted cream.

sengWare is based in Seattle and prides itself on making its dinnerware with fine grade natural clay. Their unique manufacturing process creates a material that is sturdier than porcelain, and at the same time, more refined than ceramic. They are also 100% lead and cadmium free which is a comfort.

Not only is sengWare dishwasher safe, but you can also put it in the oven, microwave, and freezer. It has more resistance to retaining smells due to its low permeability, which also helps it be stronger. They also perform well in changing temperatures, within reason, after all they are still ceramic. You’ll get even baking in the oven and easy cleaning afterwords. Made to please a professional chef as well as the home cook.

Once you try sengWare you might find it hard to use anything else!
