Dankotuwa Porcelain unveils Signature Showroom

Located within walking distance of some of Sri Lanka’s most visited landmarks, including the historic Independence Square and cultural icon the Lionel Wendt Theatre, Dankotuwa Porcelain’s new luxurious store provides an upscale shopping atmosphere and unparalleled service unlike any other within the country.
The Signature Showroom displays the very best of Dankotuwa Porcelain’s fine Sri Lankan tableware and giftware, housing an array of modern and elegant products, thus giving
consumers, hotel business partners and design professionals a hands-on opportunity to experience world class tableware exclusively from Dankotuwa Porcelain. In addition to this, the Signature Showroom also houses global brands such as Lenox and Portmeirion, giving consumers a very special and unique international shopping experience.
Taking visitors, both local and foreign, on a journey into Sri Lanka’s ceramics heritage, the Signature Showroom features a section on the history of Porcelain to educate customers about the “Dankotuwa” story as well as its association with the local pottery traditions. Pottery in Sri Lanka goes all the way back to 500 BC, when the first local potters manned their wheels and came up with elaborate, artistic designs, directly inspired by their unique island surroundings. Sri Lankan-born Dankotuwa Porcelain has been instrumental in vastly expanding the profile of local ceramics and porcelain, taking it to truly global heights.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, the Chief Guest for the event, Rajan Asirwatham, Chairman of Dankotuwa Porcelain PLC, stated, “Our overall growth plan for 2020 includes several exciting initiatives such as this Signature Showroom aimed at taking the Group to new heights as a world class manufacturer of premium porcelain tableware. We are also in the process of transforming the Dankotuwa Porcelain brand, including adding in well-planned distribution strategies, to increase customer accessibility to Sri Lanka’s iconic porcelain brands.”
