Tableware hotspots! - Something old, something new...

Shopping, who doesn't like it! ;)
Here are a few places that I always enjoy going to, great for browsing and hard to leave without bringing something home with you.

Something new
Anna Servies in Leerdam sells new tableware from Wedgwood, Villeroy & Boch, Johnson brothers and many others. They have a webshop which features practically all their items but to be honest I rather go to the shop as I enjoy seeing things and putting them together. Owner Anna has extensive knowledge of tableware so if you need advice, she is the one to speak to. Ahh and important too - always well priced.
Tip: Anna also sells items of collections that are no longer in production so you might just find your missing Wedgwood cup here.

Address: Parmentierstraat 5A-7A in Leerdam (check the website for opening hours)

Something old & new
Just west of Breda you will find the town Prinsenbeek which is the home of Servies (in)compleet. Servies (in)compleet is situated in a stunning farmhouse just outside of the town. Owner Patricia Kalk sells not only new tableware of amongst others Arzberg, ASA, Cutipol, LSA and Mateus but also antique/second-hand tableware. Patricia also has extensive knowledge of tableware so this too is a great place to go to if you need advice.
Tip: the farm also houses a cooking studio http://www.deculinaireruimte.nl/kookstudio/

Address: Zanddreef 6 in Prinsenbeek (open on appointment)

Something old
On June 7th 2014 there is a fair of 'Maastrichts aardewerk' in Vught, which is close to 's Hertogenbosch. Maastrichts aardewerk  is tableware that was produced between 1836-1969 by a couple of factories based in Maastricht. Multiple fairs are organised all year round on various locations in The Netherlands, for details see the website of 'vereniging maastrichts aardewerk. The admission to the fair is free. Great place for browsing and finding treasures!

Upcoming fair: June 7 2014, Van der Valk Hotel, Bosscheweg 2 in Vught

Like like like - new products

Designers, product developers, merchandisers and a lot of others work hard every season to come up with new and innovative product. I must say I thoroughly enjoy going through magazines, browsing the internet, shopping in real life (although not so much here in Venezuela of course) to see the results of their hard work. Here are some examples I came across recently that I did not want to withhold from you and that I would love to add to my collection :)
