arcoroc arcade bengale bowls
I'm back on my dishes bullshit.
Back in the early 90s, I dated a guy that had the coolest dishes. Hear me out; this isn't about him.
It's about the awesome dishes! They were black octagonal plates and bowls. We were together less than a year, and I miss the dishes more than the guy
Many years after we broke up, several relationships later, my new boyfriend and I picked out a set of dishes when we moved into the condo together. They weren't the octagonal set, they were round ceramic dishes with black glazing. He had been shy about suggesting them but I was thrilled.
Around that same time, I met another person with those black octagonal dishes. He was dating my mom. They got married and merged households. Then, a few years later, they moved from the big old house to the small ranch house, he offered me the black dishes. Since I already had black dishes and they'd match, sorta. I finally got my octagonal black plates!
I've been slowly picking up additional pieces here and there. Found a serving bowl, a demitasse cup and saucer, and additional plates and bowls. I have full sized plates, bread plates, and coffee mugs.
I recently went looking for matching glassware. I had seen a lovely black glass goblet set and went searching for something that might match either set of plates.
The brand of the octagonal plates appears to be Arcoroc, it's a French company. The pattern is Octime. The dishes are actually black glass. They made a wineglass and champagne flute to match the dishes:
I just negotiated a deal on a set of 8 of the wineglasses. They still have their stickers on them, never been used.
I intend to do a place setting like this one:
With the Octime dishes and wineglasses. If all goes well, I'll have black flatware to go with it.
Though for the napkins, I may have to borrow a set from the Children's hospital. 😉
Octime Glass by Arcoroc c. 1980′s
Arcoroc is a French glassware manufacturer, whose Octime glasses have been used in several different Star Trek series. They appeared most prominently, and most often, in The Next Generation, but were also used in Deep Space Nine and, in cartoon form, in Lower Decks. The latter is likely a tribute to TNG, as Lower Decks artists sought to replicate the aesthetics of the series.
The final image is by me, from my personal collection of Star Trek glassware.

I’ve previously posted the clear glasses from Arcoroc’s Octime set as having been used in TNG, DS9, and LD. The above plates were also used in The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine.
