We have a focus on crystal this issue. Not only are there crystal introductions in our annual Barware feature, where we spotlight the renaissance of gin, but we spotlight crystal in various profiles, including talking the business of crystal with Cumbria Crystal and Moser Crystal. We also focus on two crystal regions: Corning, New York (we talk to Corning Glass Museum about its collaboration with Waterford) and the Liberec Region in the Czech Republic (see our highlights from the 13th International Glass Symposium). In retail, we interview luxury homeware etailer Amara, profile Dutch retail store Pollmann, and get seasonal selling advice from tabletop boutique T is for Table. We discuss hospitality tableware trends with six companies; review the tabletop trends from the New York Tabletop Show; and look ahead to 2019 tradeshows with our annual calendar and previews of Homi, Maison and Las Vegas Market.
