Shopping for those special items to last a lifetime will be a little easier for nuptial-bound couples this spring with the launch of the Martha Stewart Collection with Wedgwood exclusively at Macy’s. This new tabletop line, featuring 10 fine bone china patterns, six crystal stemware patterns, and six stainless steel flatware patterns, is now available at Macy’s (NYSE:M) stores, macys.com and macysweddingchannel.com.
“I have always been an avid collector of fine china, crystal and silver, and my personal collection includes many Wedgwood pieces I am very proud to own. Our line with Wedgwood offers a range of beautiful and timeless pieces that can be collected and enjoyed for years to come,” said Martha Stewart, Founder of MSLO.
Inspired by some of Martha’s favorite pieces of china, the Martha Stewart Collection with Wedgwood combines the collection’s signature color palette and patterns with Wedgwood’s long-standing reputation of excellence. Each china pattern included in the collection was designed for easy blending and coordination of pieces to create a truly personalized display, making it an ideal choice for today’s contemporary bride and style-conscious entertainer.
“As the long-standing destination of choice for wedding and gift registry, Macy’s continues our tradition of offering customers quality, exclusive products for the special moments in their lives,” said Susan Bertelsen, SVP of Wedding and Gift Registry. “The extraordinary selection of tabletop items included in our Martha Stewart Collection with Wedgwood brings the design sensibility of one of the country’s leading wedding experts to the largest department store gift registry.”
Each china pattern is available in 5-piece place settings, ranging in price from $99-$159; tea and coffee services and a full complement of serveware are also available. Each of the six-stemware patterns offers Wine, Goblet, Flute, and Iced Beverage styles and range from $30 to $37 per stem. The flatware’s larger size reflects Martha’s preference for a heavier, more substantial eating utensil, with designs spanning traditional, transitional and modern styles and ranging from $45 to $60 for a 5-piece place setting.
Fine Bone China
Lily of the Valley – A richly decorated pattern inspired by treasured Lustreware, capturing the shimmering essence of the original 19th century classics.
