Spring entertaining ideas with Maxwell & Williams

September marks the start of longer days, lighter meals, and gatherings that spill out into gardens and patios. It’s also Heritage Month in South Africa, a time when food becomes more than nourishment, it becomes a way of celebrating connection, culture, and community. What better way to set the scene for these moments than with timeless tableware that makes entertaining effortless?

This spring, think fresh, unfussy, and classic. Maxwell & Williams brings you the perfect pairing of Blend glassware and the White Basics collection, two ranges that capture the essence of entertaining with ease.

Raise a glass with Blend

The hero of spring tables, Blend glassware is all about versatility and refined style. Whether it’s a cold passion fruit and lemonade with lunch, sundowners before the braai, or a cappuccino brew, Blend is designed for every occasion. With its sleek lines and crystal-clear finish, it elevates any drink and turning simple pours into little rituals of luxury.

The perfect White Basics pair.

No spring table is complete without the White Basics collection. Classic, clean, and endlessly adaptable, White Basics acts as the canvas that lets your food and drinks shine. Pair a White Basics serving platter with fresh seasonal salads or keep it simple with side plates that let a braai feast take centre stage. Its understated elegance blends seamlessly with the sophistication of Blend glassware, creating a table that feels considered yet effortless.
