Dankotuwa to personalise dinnerware

Dankotuwa will introduce a new scheme, "Personalise your dinnerware". Dankotuwa has been receiving requests to personalise the higher end dinner and tea sets with names, family names or the names of a couple.

The Company offers a scheme to have personal names printed on the sets.

"We have done this for some wealthy families in India and we have received some requests from celebrities such as cricketers and film stars in India.

Wealthy and influential people wish to have customised items, sometimes with their initials, or their family names.

This is quite a hit with those who have formal dinners with tables laid out for at least a five course meal", said Chairman and MD of Dankotuwa Porcelain, Sunil Wijesingha.

The company will offer this scheme to customers buying expensive sets with gold and platinum decorations and will cost Rs 200 per piece to personalise. There are minimum quantities of pieces that need to be personalised since the gold or platinum cost for a few items will be very high. Personalisation could be either in gold or platinum and the customer could choose the lettering style, size and position. This will be available only for the 12 person 93 piece sets with rich decorations. Delivery will be within two weeks after the samples are accepted.

The company says that costs are reasonable and affordable and will maintain a standard.
