How to choose between two white tableware. Nova White and Teak.

The Nova White Dinnerware and the Teak Dinnerware are two beautiful white dinner sets. Two beautifully designed yet stylish and contemporary modern dinner sets. The question is how to choose between two white dinner sets that can work equally well on the table.

Here are some tips to help you decide:

1.- Look at the size of the pieces. It is not always identical.

Sometimes there may be a slight difference between the sizes of the plates. We are referring to the most representative dishes of each set: dinner, dessert and soup.

Both dinner sets have an identical size of dessert or appetizer plate, the dinner plate is one centimetre larger, but the deep plate is slightly larger in the Nova White dinner set and can be relevant when setting your table or storing your tableware in the cupboard.

2.- Look at the shape of the tableware.

Both collections have irregular edges, but Teak has a more organic crockery concept. On the other hand, Teak is thinner and Nova White is a little fatter to the touch. You may like the feel of the latter or prefer the former.

3.- Look at the details of the design.

The surface of Nova White is smooth, but it has an ornament that distinguishes it and gives it personality: the Costa Nova seal. Teak, on the other hand, offers a very original texture that comes from the lines of its relief. Lines reminiscent of the cross section of a teak tree.

4.- The material.

Nova White is a fine stoneware tableware and Teak is porcelain. Both have a gloss finish, very discreet, and also functional as it will prevent, as with the matte finish tableware, possible marks from knives or forks.

Both are oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.

1. The complements of the collection.
   

The variety and characteristics of the accessory pieces that complete a set of tableware can play an important role in our decision to choose between one or the other.

The Teak collection offers a rounded bowl, while the Nova White collection has two bowl options; one square bowl and one rounded bowl.

Both have oval bowls to take to the centre of the table, but in this case Teak offers two sizes: a medium one which is similar to the Nova White collection and a larger one.

Finally, the Teak collection has a matching bread plate, which can also be used as a small snack plate.

Let's not forget the price factor, which is something that plays an important role in the decision making process and which also differentiates these two dinner sets. However, being a tableware that we are going to use and enjoy for a long time, this is an element that should not condition a decision about something that we are going to have and see on our table every day. Keep this in mind!
