The Bombay Company was started in 1978 in New Orleans as a mail order company. Tandy Corporation (Radio Shack - based by me in Fort Worth) purchased it in 1980 and operated retail stores in malls/outlets until 2007 when it filed bankruptcy in US Court and closed all US stores in 2008. They still operate in Canada AND you can still purchase items internet or QVC.
Word of caution! SO many items that were sold by Bombay were DECORATIVE only! Being imported they didn't have to adhere to US requirements on "food-safe" but Bombay WOULD have them marked (could have been tags that have long disappeared) accordingly that they were not food safe or were "for decorative purposes only".
