Porcelain Enamel Dinnerware Rolling Out of the Porcelain Oven

At the Factory, New Products Betty L 2 Comments on Porcelain Enamel Dinnerware Rolling Out of the Porcelain Oven

We’ve got something new rolling out of the porcelain oven and guess what — it’s not a gooseneck, a wall sconce, or even a pendant! While porcelain enamel is a much sought-after finish for lighting because of its durability and high-gloss shine, what we’ve got cooking today is our new collection of Porcelain Enamel Dinnerware. Handcrafted from commercial grade steel just like our light shades, these are heavy-duty, American-made originals – don’t mistake these for lightweight, imported adaptations you may have seen!

It’s a short but scenic, 4.5-mile ride over the Bay Bridge to cross from Annapolis to Kent Island, Maryland, but it is truly a world away. Maryland’s Eastern Shore is dotted with farmlands, forests, and quaint small towns like Oxford which is home to the Preservation Green Horticultural Center. This center is a working studio built last year under the guidance of Philip Logan, architect of record for Preservation Green LLC, and features classic porcelain enamel lighting.

If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of a movement gaining steam. Whereas for many years, the price of goods reigned supreme, consumers are beginning to realize that it’s often better to pay for quality and service rather than simply buy cheap and get what you pay for. Barn Light Electric certainly understands this approach and so does the Red Oxx Manufacturing company in Billings, Montana. Their success story is a classic one wherein they care deeply about old world craftsmanship, not simply churning out products. If their name sounds familiar, we first visited Red Oxx last fall in a post where we described a remodeling project in one of their facilities.

Right about now, many of you may be dreaming of a warm beach where you could escape the cold, snow, and endless shoveling that mid February brings. Luckily for us, we live in the Sunshine State where the sun is just about guaranteed to make an appearance every day. While that sunshine brings plenty of tourists to our shores, it can also wreak havoc on outdoor lighting that must stand up to extreme heat and light, day in and day out.
