TabletopJournal has written on several occasions about how much Libbey’s World Tableware dinnerware has improved both in quality and consistency.
Well, now Libbey seems to be going to work on their Syracuse dinnerware line, too. New SOLARIO is a sculpted, relief shape made from the Syracuse Royal Rideau body.
With 22 individual items, SOLARIO has an upscale look and feel with items like a 1 oz. Amuse Bouche piece that every chef will love. SOLARIO also features six traditional plate sizes but their shape is anything but traditional. The high, gracefully sloping carved rims transition into the well in such a way that allows for prudent portion control while making entrée choices like poussin and langoustine with asparagus and morel mushrooms seem abundant. Also, SOLARIO’s round bowls have an oversized appearance while still offering capacities that are appropriate for each item. Included too are a unique racetrack/oval shaped Pasta Bowl and an innovative new Shallow Bowl, which comes in at just 12¼ oz. It is perfect for desserts, salads, and appetizers.
New SOLARIO carries the Syracuse China Lifetime No Chip Warranty, and features Syracuse’s innovative Sure-ServetmUnder Rings. And, the back stamp includes a QR code (Quick Response) for smart phone users who want to learn more about SOLARIO!
The QR code on the back stamp is a first. When scanned with a smart phone, it serves up a selling sheet that illustrates every item available in the line. Perfect for satisfied SOLARIO users looking for new shapes or sizes in the SOLARIO family! And the Sure-Serve Under Rings help the server present entrées at the table by enhancing his/her grasp of the plate.
