Bold B+W Coupe China Stimulates Dinner Conversation
Miss Manners, known in real life as Judith Martin, once said: ?The dinner table is the center for the teaching and practicing not just of table manners but of conversation, consideration, tolerance, family feeling, and just about all the other accomplishments of polite society except the minuet.? We?re scratching our heads about what was so offensive about the minuet, but she had a point; there?s just something about the synergy of gathering around the dinner table for a proper meal and conversation. The Coupe china collection by Queensberry Hunt for the Conran Shop brings a bombastic visual punch to the place setting of yore ? in fact, we wouldn?t be surprised if it stimulated slightly faster chatter than its more subdued contemporaries. In three bold patterns that command a double-take, the ?U-Bend,? ?Top? and ?Curvature? salad plates are $15 apiece, and the ?Monochrome? cup and saucer are $18 per set. The collection also includes dinner plates, bowls and a teapot for a proper (but not too proper) after-dinner spot of tea or cup of joe.
