Diwali Crystal And Glassware |

|
Diwali is one of the most auspicious Indian Festivals. It celebrates Lord Rama's return to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile. On that dark winter night many years ago, the people of Ayodhya had welcomed Lord Rama with open arms, the entire town was lit with oil lamps and candles and the night sky filled with firecrackers. Ever since, Diwali has come to be celebrated on the dark Amavasya night in the Hindu month of Kartik (October-November).
It is a common tradition to exchange gifts on Diwali eve and the people follow it rather religiously. The foremost gift of choice is the Diwali crystal and glassware as it is considered auspicious to gift crystal and glassware on this day.

Dinnerware Set-Blue Italian By Spode
Spode blue and white earthenware is among the most collectable pottery in the world. In continuous production since 1816, Blue Italian is undoubtedly one of the all-time classic tableware patterns and was created shortly after Josiah Spode’s perfection of blue under-glaze printing. The central scene is thought to be ruins in Italy and the elegant integration of the figures into the scene demonstrates the exceptional engraving techniques at Spode. Exquisitely framed by an 18th century Chinese border, the central scene of Italian ruins may have been inspired by a late-17th century pen and wash drawing. The unmatched artistry of the pattern still requires the most skilled hand engraving to create its remarkable sense of space and atmosphere.
To this day, Blue Italian still originates from a hand engraved copper-plate using Josiah Spode’s transfer printing method at his original factory site in Stoke-on-Trent, England. This time-honored tradition results in beautiful china of unsurpassed quality that is as fresh and distinctive as ever. Every piece is an affordable original destined to become a treasured heirloom for future generations.

Four 10-inches Dinner Plates
Four 8-inches Salad Plates
Four 9-oz. Mugs
