Pillivuyt Porcelain Whiteware, Dinnerware & Serveware
The serveware and tabletop service you choose is a star player at your dining table, regardless of the occasion. It can enhance your meals, while setting the mood for your dining experience as well as expressing your own personal “style.” As simple as it sounds, your dinnerware sets the tone as it captures our eye when we sit down to eat or survey the buffet table at a party. This rings true especially for more intimate gatherings and sit-down meals.
While the dinnerware and serveware should be aesthetically pleasing, it also needs to be functional for everything from portion control, keeping food warm, be correctly sized for the food item (soup bowl vs. dessert plate etc.) The material of the dinnerware is also important given the occasion and frequency of use.
For this reason, a white porcelain dinnerware (“whiteware”) is a preferred choice for many. It is contemporary, versatile, durable, and has a non-porous surface, making it easy to clean and store. Best of all, the porcelain pieces are oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe. Sleek french white dinnerware works well for both formal and casual use, where you can dress it up or down with accessories such as placemats, chargers and linens. Food always looks best on an all-white plate because the design is free of distractions. The colors of the food seem more vibrant and the food looks more appealing. You can also use linen accessories like cloth napkins to add color and personality to an otherwise neutral table. Alternatively, these accessories can tone down boldly colored or patterned dinnerware.
