Sango Dinnerware Brings the World to Your Table

 Sango dinnerware originates from Central Java, Indonesia and is that country’s leading ceramics tableware manufacturer.  A brief foray into the online world of tableware reveals a dizzying assortment of designs, with literally hundreds of patterns created by Sango.  There are even websites devoted to helping people find replacement Sango dishes, by methods such as monitoring which discontinued patterns are available on ebay at any given moment in time!

Sango specializes in stoneware, porcelain, fine china and other color-glazed materials. The variety in patterns offered by this company is truly impressive, with florals, geometrics, abstract designs, differing art styles, and holiday themes being just a few examples. One of their most recent lines offers two-tone solid colors such as Sango Splash dinnerware, in a warm brown with swirls and splashes that comes close to replicating the feel and charm of handcrafted pottery.  Their “Nova” pattern also comes in several earthy colors as well as a nice denim blue. This theme is reminiscent of 1970’s style that has experienced a revival in recent years. You can find these patterns featured at numerous retail outlets and online.

While popular, these solid colored pieces are certainly not all Sango currently has to offer.  Compare with their “Tuscan Gardens” collection for a glimpse of the range of individual tastes they are ready to suit perfectly. Hand-painted and whimsical, this pattern is alive with vibrant contrasting colors and shapes, the painted shapes mirrored by the fluted edges of the bowls and platters.  As the name suggests, it celebrates the luscious Italian countryside with fruits, scenic depictions, and even the occasional rooster.

Much of the Sango collection is fully dishwasher and microwave safe, making it a perfect combination of modern convenience and charm from a number of eras in an extensive range of patterns. The company also offers ceramic giftware including candle holders and ornaments.  Next time you are looking for tableware as a gift or for yourself, remember Sango!
