Following the announcement of the Tableware International Awards of Excellence 2019, an incredible 274 entries from 148 brands (up from 218 entries from 94 brands last year) were received. The 274 entries, which span 17 product categories, were carefully assessed according to key criteria by our panel of 26 global judges (eight of which are new) and 51 Finalists - three from each of the 17 categories, from fine dinnerware and decorative to cutlery and casual glassware - were selected. Here, in this Finalists Supplement, we spotlight the 51 Finalists, presenting their winning products/collections and outlining what our expert jury have to say about them. We also profile our prestigious panel of 26 judges; pay tribute to both our Main and Category Sponsors; and give a sneak peek as to what to expect from our Tableware Awards 2019 ceremony at Ambiente 2019, on Sunday 10th February.
