Bongenre.com Melamine Tableware is designed by
Jill Fenichell, who was an antique porcelain and
pottery dealer for 15 years. Her specialty was English
blue and white porcelain made in the 18th century.
While dealing in antiques, Jill often made custom-
designed porcelain items to match antique
services,so she started a small company called The
Bespoke Porcelain Company. This company still
exists and each year Jill makes a few services for
people willing to pay the money required for unique
dinnerware. Link here for the Bespoke Porcelain site

While working on Bespoke designs for other people, Jill
started thinking about her own designs, and thus created
a small cluster of her own patternware. Still, even this did
not reflect the reality of her own situation, living in
brownstone Brooklyn with a husband who loves to put his
feet on the coffee table, and a son who plays baseball
and video games, and loves to inhale food while
goofing around with his friends. Jill's mother lives
downstairs, and the family eat together often.
Jill thought about trying to do something pretty in plastic,
and thus, Bongenre.com was born in 2005. "I get to think
about patterns I love, and work out interesting color
relationships and rhythms between shape and pattern
and color," says Jill. "The real question is: how to connect
the old to the new and to start people looking at old
things, but in new ways. That's what I want to do with my
tableware."

"I hope you enjoy your Bongenre.com Elegant Melamine
Tableware, and that you will find it fits into your life the way it fits
into mine. Please remember DO NOT zap the plates in the micro;
use them as frisbees with great caution; and try not to put them
too close to your 'cue, as the heat may turn them into something
else. That can be interesting, but hard to keep food on. Also, as
the decal on your tableware starts to fade, rather than chucking
the plates out, please try to think of this process as one in which
you participate in the making of an instant antique"

The Costa Brava in Spain is always close
to my heart; I find my trips there inspire
many of my very intense designs. There is
something about the bright blue skies and
the bright white buildings that one never
forgets. JF
