Produced from 1995 to 2004, the Palazzo pattern by Sasaki China showcases a provocative, asymmetrical design. Featuring various warm, rich colors and eye-catching geometric decorations, this pattern will add excitement to any table! “Palazzo,” Italian for “palace,” comes from the Latin word “palatium.” The word is derived from “Mons Palatinus,” one of the seven hills of ancient Rome, where Augustus Caesar's house was constructed. By the time Octavian succeeded Julius Caesar to become Roman emperor, the name of the Palatine hill had become synonymous with imperial residency. Sasaki was established in Tokyo in 1902, and has long been recognized for its design artistry and the high quality of its tableware. Sasaki’s Double Helix flatware, designed by famous American interior designer Ward Bennet, is on permanent exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Renaissance-Gold by Sasaki Crystal is a blown glass pattern produced from 1991 to 1999. Renaissance-Gold features a concave bowl that flares at the top, a graceful stem with a twist design, and gold trim. With its elegant shape and understated design, this crystal serves as a wonderful complement to the multi-hued Palazzo china and black and gold Ramona flatware. Although Renaissance-Gold is a popular Sasaki Crystal pattern in its own right, our most popular Sasaki Crystal is the beautiful Wings pattern, designed by Etuso Yamagishi. According to Sasaki company literature, “Sasaki remains firmly rooted in Japanese sensibility, taking its inspiration from nature. This inspiration results in natural, organic shapes and clean lines evident in all of the company's dinnerware collections.” Sasaki’s designs come from a large pool of creative talent, including furniture, jewelry, and textile designers, architects, interior decorators, and sculptors.
