Post by: naff on September 24, 2018, 07:34:38 PM: Black will prob maintain its looks the longest with less care, but it would be a little sombre if you're going for festive vibes. White and gold is tacky.

Plus a bunch of lodge cast iron and white/metallic chrome enamelware. So it’s pretty grey/mono on the serveware side... orange looks cool but goes with nothing, black is my default but doesn’t pop in comparison... but maybe doesn’t need to... white is nice but way outside the mix.

Post by: Akala on September 24, 2018, 08:26:10 PM: I like the orange for maximum festivity. The others may technically be more versatile, but are you really going to use a pumpkin container any other time of year?

Post by: HardcoreRetro on September 25, 2018, 04:45:08 AM: If you go for anything but the orange one you might as well just throw it in a regular pot. You could probably make it work with the rest of the serveware if you put food on it that got fall colours.

White is right

We must secure the existence of our festive soups, stews, and braises and a future for white table tchotchkes.

Title: Re: Which novelty staub pumpkin should I get
Post by: nudemacusers on September 25, 2018, 12:26:20 PM: None of the local crate and barrels, sur la tables or Williams Sonoma have this in stock. How am I to resolve a tie between orange and black 😫

Post by: Yeti on September 25, 2018, 03:07:40 PM: Get all three, surely you can think of three things to serve in them

Post by: Mollys Fruity Loops on September 25, 2018, 03:35:14 PM: Orange for the novelty

Post by: Great Rumbler on September 25, 2018, 04:17:19 PM: I think we can all agree that the white one is just awful.
Title: Re: Which novelty staub pumpkin should I get
Post by: EightBitNate on September 25, 2018, 04:56:07 PM: I actually like white. Could be used in the winter too.
Title: Re: Which novelty staub pumpkin should I get
Post by: TEEEPO on September 25, 2018, 05:02:06 PM: orange obviously. it'll contrast better with the fall colors that are associated with foods typically eaten during this time period, e.g. carrot and tomato soups or any type of french stew. it'll also look great in a thanksgiving table setup

for reference, i own a blue (marseille) le creuset. black is for cast iron. spice it up

Post by: nudemacusers on September 30, 2018, 12:58:15 AM: thx bb :-*

also the black matte option looked off in person, as if it didn't fire correctly... glad I took the arduous trip to the mall for the purpose of in-person viewing. white version looked pretty nice too.

next up will be the tomato :uguu
