Diva Collection

I have had an ongoing wishlist of Ginori 1735 tableware pieces and the Diva Collection is my crown jewel! I love each of the four pastel colorways in the collection: the Rosa (pink), Celeste (blue), Verde (green), and Giallo (yellow). This porcelain collection can easily be mixed and matched which is exactly how I like to play with my tableware.

Elements I love:

• A nod to mid-century design

• The thin gold threading throughout the design

• The ability to be stackable

• Can be mixed and matched

• Pastel color-way

• Classic

One Trip to TJMaxx and the rest is history

SIGNUM Collection

On one of my many shopping trips to TJ Maxx, I spotted boxed tableware in the Runway section of the store. Naturally, I had to check it out. To my surprise, they were beautiful Swarovski blue cereal bowls from their SIGNUM Collection. Many of the elements I loved about the Ginori 1735 Diva Collection I found in these newly discovered pieces. I turned the boxes around to find the price…RED TAG. So of course, I packed my cart with the few boxes they had and left happily with my new goodies.

I bought the Swarovski x Rosenthal Signum cereal bowl Porcelain, Blue for $39 with an original price tag of $100! A steal if you ask me!

Elements I love:

• I like that its octagonal elements are a nod to the Swarovski iconic jewel

• Can be mixed and matched

• Has a festive vibe

Final Thoughts:

Aesthetics wise, I overall prefer the Ginori 1735 Diva Collection. It is a heavy price tag but it fits more into my overall aesthetic. It gives a Diahnne Carol morning with breakfast spread setting whilst in a pink silk pajamas. The Signum collection feels more like a festive set versus everyday tableware. I can see myself using the Diva Collection more on the everyday. I love that the details are more refined and minimal.

All in all, I am happy with my purchase and it was a steal of a lifetime!

No buyers remorse here!

Let these two designer tableware collections serve as an inspiration for your next gathering!

Always Stay Inspired!
