Fine Juliska tableware available now at Greetings & Readings   Welcome to the world of Juliska. Juliska is a dynamic, design-led company committed to bringing European elegance into the modern home. Selections from Juliska's extensive collections of glassware, ceramics and pewter tabletop pieces are available now at Greetings & Readings. Juliska glassware is mouth blown by artisans in the hills outside Prague in the Czech Republic. Its unique composition allows it to be blown especially thin, making it an unexpected pleasure to drink from and to handle. Being handmade, no two pieces of Juliska glassware are identical. Each has its own character - small bubbles, slight color and size variations. Every piece of Juliska glassware is individually signed, giving a guarantee of its authenticity and quality. All Juliska glass is lead free. See the set of Amalia flutes ($112) and the Isabella bedside carafe set ($115) pictured here. Juliska glassware is dishwasher safe on a warm gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Larger or highly decorated pieces should be washed by hand. Rich in European texture and styling, Juliska ceramics are made in Portugal. The vitrified stoneware used by Juliska is restaurant grade, making it perfect for demanding everyday use. Juliska ceramics can go straight from the freezer into the oven on 500-degrees Fahrenheit. Also microwave and dishwasher safe. Juliska's rich European heritage spans six centuries and many of the original glass silhouettes can be found in museums around the world. Juliska designs combine these exquisite historic themes with imaginative new interpretations. Browse the selection in person at Greetings & Readings of Hunt Valley and see blown glass flutes, candle holders, vases, cream and sugar sets as well as fine soap dishes, a ceramic bathroom set, pewter hostess snack trays, baking pans and more. Find the piece that's perfect for your home, or special order a piece in one of five available colors with help from the Gift Department.
