While tableware is an exclusive collection that includes pale-blue Japanese porcelain with a double black line, inspired by an old Celadon pottery. This includes cups with lids, teapots, plates, and trays. Blown-glass crystal glassware with the Triangle series, featuring a signature Prada triangular pattern, is also available.
