Flora Danica: The Amazing Story of the World’s Most Expensive Dinnerware
War. Diplomacy. Royal backstabbing. A Russian Empress who loved art and beauty. All that went into the making of the world’s most expensive dinnerware, Flora Danica by Royal Copenhagen.
Our story begins with Catherine the Great of Russia. In 1788, she was at the height of her power and prestige, having come to power 26 years earlier by deposing her husband in a coup. The formerly impoverished German princess was now the absolute ruler of the largest empire in the world, and she followed up one stunning achievement with another: Expanded Russia into the Black Sea and Crimea. Made Russia a major European power. Annexed Alaska. Reformed the government. Ushered in the Enlightenment. Check, check, check.

Just $15: Pretty in Plaid Flatware from David Stark and Martha Stewart
Cold weather might bring back plaid and tartans, but they don’t have to make your home look like those oversized lumberjack shirts in the back of the closet. In fact, plaids are a great way to mix things up and introduce different colors. Says renowned NY event producer David Stark in his recent Pretty in Plaid feature for Martha Stewart:
If you’re the type of person that wants things to look cohesive, but not too matchy-matchy, try mixing different colors of the same plaid. For color mixing, pick a particular color that each plaid will have in common. For example, if each pattern contains a vibrant cherry red, it will keep your look together. These flatware sets all have the same base color — a neutral white — so they can be mixed and matched on your dinner table.
And here are the plaids he chose, in London Chic chocolate red, London Chic cucumber green, and London Chic denim blue:
And the best part? The stainless steel flatware has ABS plastic handles which are dishwasher safe and treated with Xtra Wash, a unique technology that keeps colors looking like new after hundreds of washes. These are an absolute steal at only $15 per 5-pc setting!
We still remember watching the Martha Stewart TV shows years ago, so it’s a real treat to be featured in her blog now. Thanks for thinking of us, David and Martha!
