I agree. The platinum is great for food. I was looking at the old posts and saw a Christmas setting with gold and it looks so beautiful. I think platinum might be more everyday. I just picked up a passafolia sushi tray, so I’m all over the place. It was just too pretty.

Yes i agree that gold setting is stunning! I think platinum is also able to mix better with white/grey/stainless steel/silver tableware that you may already have too which is why I chose it over the gold! Either way they’re both gorgeous! I’m eyeing a passifolia tray too haha

Thanks! Do a lot of sugar cubes fit in it? I haven’t seen one in person and it looks quite small

Yes they hold a lot. I buy the Domino sugar dots and they are the perfect size and portion for a cup of coffee. They also use the H Deco cubes to hold sugar wafers at the Paris Sevres Hermes store cafe, but I have not been able to find sugar wafers here in the US.IMG_0143.jpegIMG_0144.jpeg

I’m seriously debating to start an H dinnerware collection. Hubby and I have narrowed down to 1 of 2 collections:

1) H Deco (the black version, not the red)
2) Balcon Du Guadalquivir

Most of our existing China are plain white color.

I think H Deco is non-microwaveable while the other one is.

Which one have you used more? Is being microwaveable important to you from experience?

Thanks!

a bit late but wanted to add most of the pieces in the H Deco collection is microwaveable even though the website said it's not. I remember the SA told me it was so I just went to look for the little pamphlets my plates came with just to be sure. It says:

H Deco is designed for everyday use: it is dishwasher and microwave safe. The large round platter and tart platter feature decorative platinum trim and require special care.

so from that, I think every piece except the large round platter and tart platter are microwave safe.

I don’t use sugar so I put my teabags and non dairy creamer in them.

I’m also a magpie so I collect the red balcon de Q and the platinum mosaique to mix and match my mood. Plus a couple of the cheval orient pieces with that intense blue and gold.

I am tempted to get some passifolia pieces as well, but am running out of room.

Edit: sorry I should have quoted @kerebear instead

I do appreciate your expertise. It is nice to chat with someone with such knowledge of Hermes home items. I do agree many of the early items feel more sophisticated and unique. I especially like early boxes, like the 2 Zoulou boxes in oak and mysore goat I have had for years. This year I purchased a Theoreme box with a lizard lid. Not sure of the wood used for the construction of the box. But one of my favorites are the 3 Cygnes Vases in size PM, MM & GM.
Again thank you for your insight and allowing me to share my Hermes home passion with you.

Does any one know what the #2 stamping on the bottom of this Hermes View attachment 5719246View attachment 5719247Tangram set means, is it a date code or maybe location. If any one has any insight to # stamping on rosewood games.

These numbers are always used on both the main piece and the pieces that can be removed (like a lid or back of a frame). I’ve noticed these numbers on all my wood pieces made in Indonesia, and even if it’s a same model, the numbers will vary and go up to 3 digits. Thus, I’ve concluded they are likely a method to make sure the lid and box are assembled together and aren’t switched sometime with another set during the production. Or, this could be a maker’s mark like the stamps on porcelain, but this could be a mixture of both reasons. I haven’t seen these numbers on the jewelry and watch boxes produced in France, but they very well could be hiding under the suede.
