I had featured the Touch! line from Kahla last Christmas and it is holding up to it's word on quality.
KAHLA has many beautiful collections that have their own names. I got to review the Epoque Espresso Set from the Centuries collection.
Barbara Schmidt on the concept for Centuries:"I
have loved porcelain ever since I was a child. It is a wonderful
material, which is shaped into objects that are part of our daily lives.
To rediscover it time and again is a pleasure. The idea of Centuries
was to reinterpret trusted motifs and textures and to integrate them
into KAHLA porcelain concepts for the present day. This isn‘t your
standard dinner service; it‘s a colorful selection of beautiful objects
that enrich their users with endless possible combinations."
Four design lines are part of Centuries: Thuringia, Mirasol, Feston and Époque.

Époque:Historical handles meet porcelain of the
present day. Rich dynamic ornamentation marries reduced design. From the
KAHLA design books we chose a handle each from the Classicism,
Neo-Baroque and Art Nouveau era. With playfully ironic ease, these
handles add a little lustre of bygone times to 21st century cups and
jugs.
As much as I love colorful packing paper, I am not particularly fond of the task itself. This white espresso set comes neatly and colorfully packed in this box. No cutting and sticking work for me. Zilch. Just tie a ribbon if you want to gift it.
What I loved the most about this set was the unique design of the saucer. It definitely stands out. There is a little spot to place the cup and that extra space on the side can be for a sweet cookie to go with your beverage! That is indeed a SWEET idea! This set has awesome functionality and the design is really wonderful and well thought of. Kudos to designer Barbara!
The contents of the box are 2 cups and 2 saucers. You can buy this set for $37 from 2mi.ca .
The cups have very comfortable handles and sometimes my little son likes to drink his milk in this cup, all feeling like a grown up. I would highly recommend this set for its class and quality as a gift or just yourself.
Thanks to Kahla and 2mi.ca , one lucky Canadian reader will have the chance to win this Centuries - Epoque Espresso Gift Set 4 pieces from KAHLA.
Disclosure: I received a sample for review purpose only. No monetary compensation was received. The above post reflects my personal opinion.
