INTRODUCING OPALENE DINNERWARE
With sophisticated home entertaining in mind, Royal Doulton introduces Opalene, a luxurious new addition to its stunning tableware portfolio.
Inspired by the lustrous shades of a precious opal gemstone, Opalene features a subtle geometric design which artfully creates a stunning prism effect, allowing each piece to reflect multiple shades of opulent color reminiscent of a shimmering opal.
Lavish and decadent, the tone-on-tone textural effect adds depth of colour and was achieved using a new design technique. The result is a collection of elegant tableware, combining modern sensibility with timeless beauty.
Each piece in the Opalene range is finished with rich platinum banding, giving those who like to entertain an opportunity to achieve a more sophisticated feel, adding that all-elusive wow factor at dinner parties.
Opalene tableware is sumptuously elegant and characterised by Royal Doulton’s legendary attention to detail and quality. Both fashionable and practical, the collection includes all the necessary items for chic home entertaining. RRP $249 for a five-piece place setting.
Available from April 2010 in selected David Jones and Myer department stores and specialist home and giftware retailers. Customer enquiries: 1300 852 022. Australian website: www.royaldoulton.com.au
