About the 20th Anniversary Collection
It all started at the Museum of Modern Art. In 2004, as Danny Meyer was preparing to re-open MoMA’s Terrace 5 Café and Café 2, his then-employee, future restaurateur and owner of Make It Nice hospitality group, Will Guidara, commissioned Jono Pandolfi to design a chocolate dishes, chopstick holders, and a set of bud vases for the project. In hindsight, this was it: Jono’s big break.

What has followed in the 20 years since has spanned ceramics studios from Queens to Union City, New Jersey, where the operation has grown from a single kiln to more than a dozen and a one-man operation is now a team of 24 artisans. We’ve served over 750 hospitality clients, more than 15,000 home cooks, and, sometime last year, we’re pretty sure we made our one millionth plate.

Alexander ★★★★★

This little cup is pure joy to hold—the retro design from the old Plaza days feels like a tiny piece of NYC history on my shelf. The re-release is spot on, and I love that it’s tied to the anniversary collection. Makes my morning coffee feel like a vacation.

Abigail Q. ★★★★★

Finally got my hands on one of these after missing the original release, and the retro Plaza Hotel design is even more charming in person. The cup has a nice, sturdy weight to it that makes it feel like a proper keepsake rather than a novelty item.

Ava ★★★★★

The little details on this cup are amazing—you can tell it was made for a fancy hotel back in the day. It’s got that fun, retro tiki vibe that fits right in with my bar cart, and the weight feels solid in your hand. I’m glad they brought it back for the anniversary.
