The factory in Sausalito is easy to find from the main stretch, nestled by the water in what appears to be a business park. There is a dirt parking lot right out front of the showroom, convenient for carrying heavy boxes of dish sets back to your car. The staff are helpful, but will leave you alone to browse to your heart's content. You are welcome to pick up sample pieces and arrange your own place settings...you get the best ideas for combinations just by wandering around the showroom with plate in hand, putting atop various pieces and re-arranging until you find the perfect set. You can find great deals on second quality pieces here that you can't find in the retail shop in the Ferry Building. You'll easily save a couple hundred by purchasing seconds and you really can't tell the difference. They also run periodic sales and specials. There is also a small gift section with books, jewelry, and other related ephemera.
