How and where can I find out whether a specific pattern or piece is still available?

There are a number of ways you can check on availability:

  1. On this site. look under Tableware Product Groups. then under "Complete Overview".
    All products currently in production are generally listed there.
  2. If you don't have any luck there. don't give up. Your local specialist retailer may still stock pieces. even if they are no longer currently in production. Ask him. He will be only too pleased to help.
  3. If this method also fails to give results. a couple of specialist companies may still be able to help:
