Description:

The classic lines of this tapered round ware inspired the name "Rondeau." The name is particularly suitable, as in classic poetry and music, a Rondeau features a repeated line. Davenport's Rondeau carries this theme out with the wide and narrow copper lustre bands rimming flatware pieces and the rim and collar bands on hollowware pieces.
