World Market

World Market grew from a San Francisco businessman selling imported hand-woven wicker from one of the city’s piers in the 1950s to over 259 stores nationwide today.  They specialize in original and handmade items from around the world sold at great prices in their stores and online.

On the left above is the White and Blue Sardine Entertaining Collection.  The dinnerware is earthenware with in-glaze decals.  The Cactus Collection in the middle is melamine.  Dinner plates have only the pattern shown and are available in store only.  Salad plates each have an individual pattern.  The Italian Sealife Dinnerware Collection is on the right.  It includes dinner plates, pasta bowls, a platter and serving bowl, all earthenware.  Plates in all collections are sold in sets of 4.

On the right above is the Santiago Collection.  This melamine dishware  includes dinner plates (main pattern), salad and appetizer plates (two different patterns, 4 versions of each), dip bowls (sold in sets, each set has a floral and stripe pattern), an almost vast array of serving platters and a chip/dip tray.  No matter what your casual entertaining needs are, there is likely a mix/match that will suit your needs perfectly within this beautiful melamine collection.

On the right are two “short glasses” which you will also find in the Drinkware page.  They are here as well because they are each about 3” x 3.5”, hold up to 10 ounces, and can double as small plate dessert dishes.  They are sold individually, so you can create two different sets or one mixed set .  They are really perfect if you’re looking for something beautiful to showcase  your desserts to people who would refuse a regular serving (but really want that dessert).
