This beautiful glass designed in France from our kitchen glass collection is reminiscent of a bygone era. A simpler time of traditional values and cherished family memories. When Sunday dinners at grandma’s house were the social event of the week and gathering together to share a meal and count your blessings was an important part of life.
We invite you to revisit this nostalgic era with our French-inspired depression glass collection. You’ll find a large selection of this value-priced, dishwasher-safe glassware in our Cucina store in the Olde Burien Shopping District or purchase online at poggibonsigifts.com.

Raffaellesco italian Ceramic Mug
Torrefazione , a northwest coffee company famous for serving its Italian-style espresso drinks in traditional Raffaellesco Italian pottery coffee cups, was purchased by Starbucks Corp. in 2003. Starbucks closed all Torrefazione retail locations in 2005; the coffee brand lived on but the Italian ceramics were discontinued. PoggiBonsiGifts.com has entered into an agreement with F.I.M.A. Deruta Italian Ceramics; the original family-owned studio in Deruta, Italy that first produced the popular Italian Majolica coffee cups and tableware sold at Torrefazione. Now collectors can special order Torrefazione Raffaellesco Italian ceramic mugs and plates, as well as platters, antipasti trays, biscotti jars, bowls, and more directly from PoggiBonsiGifts.com.
