Dept of State Collection to Grow

Department of State has indicated that it wants to expand its offering of Woodmere gift and dinnerware products. Apparently, our items make great gifts for employees and foreign dignitaries. So, look for some new things from the Department of State in the near future.

(pictured is our 5 inch square wooden cache box with the seal of the Department of State on the lid)

James B. Duke Society...Covered Box

With March Madness upon us, I am reminded of a great Woodmere custom china project from a few years ago.

This is a picture of a 4 inch round covered box that we did a couple of years ago for the James B. Duke Society of Duke University.

Conspiracy Theorist's Delight: Great Seal of the U.S.

If there is another symbol that has as many people speculating as to the many of it....we would like to see it. We continue to be amazed at the various theories attributed to the art of the Great Seal of The United States. Mostly, the conspiracy theorists focus on the the obverse side (look at a one dollar bill) which has the Eye of Providence looking down upon the Pyramid. No doubt there is a tremendous amount of symbolism contained in the Great Seal. However, it is hard to beleive some of the ideas that ocntinue to pop up on the internet as to the seal's origins.

Woodmere has no interest in this offer other than to show a great classic piece from our company. Any dealings you have are with the seller and not with Woodmere. That said....good luck!

Some of our custom governmental designs...

From BIZBASH Washington: Woodmere Is The Source for Corporate Gifts

Woodmere China
2618 West State St.New Castle, PA 16101 Telephone: 724.658.1638 Fax: 724.658.8116

Destination: Washington, DC

Speaking of great dining experiences, when you are in our nation's capitol, be sure to stop by The Willard Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue for afternoon tea. Woodmere's beautiful gold scroll and filigree pattern adorns the signaure tea service in what is often called "The Nation's Hotel".

Destination Baltimore: Petit Louis

Speaking of adding great restaurants to your list of restaurants to try real soon......add Baltimore's Petit Louis, located in the Roland Park section of the city.

From a recent Baltimore Sun review..."Lively, noisy, crowded can be good things when it's cold outside. Petit Louis in Roland Park is all those things, and French bistro comfort food like onion soup and duck confit is very appealing this time of year."

Along with the food, we think you'll appreciate the great looking design of their dinnerware, as well.

New York: Another favorite for the list

Next time you're in New York, be sure to add Bar Boulud to your list of places to go. While the food and wine will be spectacular, so will the dinnerware. We just completed this very bistro-looking design and it looks like it will fit just fine!

Naval Intelligence Custom Plate

When the Director of Naval Intelligence was looking for just the 'right' gift recently, he chose Woodmere. More and more people who are looking for an American-made, high quality custom gift for their company or organization are looking to Woodmere.

Custom china from Woodmere. Great design, great quality, ....and made in New Castle, Pennsylvania.
