Prosperity Tree announces alliance with Berryware

Prosperity Tree International has announced that they have added Berryware to their selection of playful hand-painted ceramic art and tableware. Over the past 20 years, Prosperity Tree has carved its niche by featuring high-quality ceramics, designed by American artists, and sold in the wholesale gift marketplace at affordable prices. Making the announcement, president Carmi Plaut stated, “Berryware is a great product. The synergy between our two companies makes it possible for Prosperity Tree to offer buyers an expanded selection of ceramics that have already proven themselves in gift and tabletop stores.”

Berryware tableware, created and designed by artist Berry Silverman, features strong color statements in light-hearted patterns, focusing on the casual tableware niche. Despite its relatively recent venture into the wholesale market, Berryware is already familiar to many buyers. Best-selling items include their new Trivet Twists, as well as the popular Screwball salt and pepper shakers, which shake and fill from the bottom. Prosperity Tree’s plans include continuing work with Berry Silverman to expand the Berryware design collections and introduce new palettes and styles at the summer gift markets.
