Yes, our trays are not historic, but the story of the Sandwich is.  The sandwich has come a long way from a hunk of beef and cheese between bread.
“The sandwich as we know it was popularized in England in 1762 by John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. Legend has it, and most food historians agree, that Montagu had a substantial gambling problem that led him to spend hours on end at the card table. During a particularly long binge, he asked the house cook to ...Read more of post

In this time of the year when National holidays are around the corner, it is good to think about all these tiny things that make the American history remarkable. One of them is tobacco, which is still the best-selling product in the world (in form of cigarettes). What is so impressive about it, but also about the plant that brings all the beauty to one of the most popular porcelain patterns?

Nicotiana Plant is a colorful miracle

This plant was recognized by Christopher ...Read more of post

A Salisbury mini-history lesson in honor of the upcoming derby: Our Kentucky Julep Cups were inspired by the designs of such early American craftsmen as Asa Blanchard of Lexington, KY and William and Archibald Cooper of Louisville, KY. The cup’s straight body lines and graceful moldings at the base and rim are typical of designs they used. Kentuckians have been giving, receiving, and using the cups of these designs for over 100 years. It is a favorite for weddings, ...Read more of post

Italian for enchantment, Incanto designs were inspired by Italian art, the landscape, as well as Venetian history. The soft ripples of the water of the Adriatic Sea are mimicked in the ruffle design. The stripe is reminiscent of the strong stately columns of Palladian villas along the Brenta River, the lace was inspired by the famed lace of Venice’s Burano Island, and the baroque style is inspired by the architectural curves of 17th century Europe. The pearl design was ...Read more of post
