...the new owners that he doesn't have a contract? Do you have any idea who makes that coffee service?

I think it might be a classic Dansk pattern or Crate and Barrel had something similar a few years ago with a Scandinavian type name, but I don't recall....And I seriously need to know. Thanks in advance for your help!

Ok, Design Detectives - can you help Jennifer out? Let her know in the comments below...

I noticed that too! I think it's Eva Zeisel. Crate and Barrel reinterpreted her designs a couple years ago:

If the coffee service on the show is really vintage, it's probably from her Hallcraft line.

I've seen them use the new Crate and Barrel's Zeisel collection several times during the series. (I noticed it because we use the C&B Zeisel dinnerware at home).

It is hardly a spoiler. I don't understand why people complain about spoilers weeks after a new episode has aired. I understand one or two days later, but that episode aired over a week ago. Get over it.

There's an episode where they have glasses with gold leaves on them. We have the exact same ones. They were a gift from my mother in law.
