Bill G:
Skruv Glasbruk mgt. has asked me to design new tableware - serving dishes.

I am under contract with this company having designed
two vases and a stemware set.

Everyone always says, ask your potential customer what they want. Your thoughts on shape, size, color,
decor - art deco, modernism, etc. would be appreciated.
Bill Geary

Anne E.B.:
Wow - how exciting Bill!  I personally would like something really cutting edge and modern.  Something totally different and ground breaking with perhaps really unusual shapes and textures so that a serving dish is not just a functional item but a piece of art also.  Too often things like this get put away in cupboards out of sight.  I must also admit to liking very vivid colours.  
Hope to see your designs in the not to distant future 8)
Regards - Anne :wink:

chopin-liszt:
:D I have to confess to being very impressed with my Denby "Baroque" dinner service, on the grounds of the colours, being dark blues, are not a food related colour, so are in contrast to anything served on them, the inner part of the plates is plain white, and the plates are large, so that the food shows nicely against the white, without getting mixed up with the border. Not a very original suggestion I suppose, but as I take food as seriously as glass, I want the food to be presented as well as possible, complementing the dish, not in competition with it. :D

Ivo:
From my kitchen experience I implore you: inverse stackability. Please make something that can be stacked in an upper kitchen cabinet and which can be retrieved without danger: the current situation is that the larger serving plates are invariably weighed down by a stack of smaller serving plates. If you need the larger one, you have to remove the whole stack - and this can be a dangerous procedure.

Bill G:
I wanted to thank the following individuals for taking time from their busy schedules to reply to my request.
