Bring home tableware
The beauty of tableware is that every meal brings back your trip. Each hand-painted piece is different, so picking them up and choosing is part of the fun.
Tips for choosing
- Have fragile items wrapped in padding at the shop, then carry them on board or wrap them in clothes in the middle of your suitcase
- Even with the same pattern, each piece is painted differently, so line them up and compare before choosing
- Weight adds up, so start with small plates and bowls rather than large platters — they’re easier to bring home
