William Ashley China

There is a dizzying array of dinnerware and kitchen accessories at this wedding-registrant favourite. Current standouts include Hermes’ Carnet d’equator porcelain service, painted with teal-and-gold jungle scenes by wildlife artist Robert Dallet, and Riedel’s variety of voluptuous glass decanters. A polished egg curiously contains 24 pieces of silver-plated flatware from Christofle, while Alessi’s aluminum espresso maker, dubbed Pulcina, has a Memphis Group style with its stepped silhouette, red handle and beak-like spout. 131 BLOOR ST W 416 964 2900 WILLIAMASHLEY.COM
