Our Brands & Craftsmanship

Which brands does Table Desires offer?

We curate a selection of the world's most renowned makers of tableware. In our shop you will find the mouth-blown glass art of Anna von Lipa and Ichendorf Milano, the heritage porcelain of Fürstenberg, colorful hand-painted ceramics by Les Ottomans and the luxurious home fragrances of Trudon, the oldest wax manufactory in the world.

What is special about mouth-blown glass from Ichendorf Milano and Anna von Lipa?

Unlike machine-made mass-produced goods, every glass is shaped individually by masters of their craft. This results in an exceptional lightness (especially with Ichendorf) and a brilliance that only real crystal glass offers. Small inclusions or minimal variations are a mark of genuine handcraft.

Why is Fürstenberg porcelain considered especially valuable?

Since 1747, Fürstenberg has stood for German porcelain art at the highest level. Every piece combines precise craftsmanship with timeless design. The extremely fine body and the elegant decorations make it a collector's piece for generations.

Care & Materials

How do I clean the hand-painted ceramics by Les Ottomans?

The colorful designs by Les Ottomans bring Mediterranean flair to your table. To preserve the radiance of the hand-painted details, we recommend washing by hand. The iron trays should only be wiped with a damp cloth.

How do I get the best fragrance experience from Trudon candles?

To make sure your Trudon candle burns evenly, let it burn the first time until the entire surface is liquid. Trim the wick to about 5 mm before each lighting to avoid soot and keep the precious fragrance pure.

Are the embroidered napkins (e.g. Torres Novas) suitable for everyday use?

Yes, our high-quality cotton napkins are designed for daily use. We recommend washing at 40 °C to preserve the fine embroidery and the quality of the fibers in the long term.
