Fiesta 12-Ounce Java Mug, Plum

A modern canvas for everyday meals, Bloom Shadow dinner plates have smooth, flat surfaces that are artfully scribbled with sun-yellow florals for a look that's fresh--and in durable porcelain--not fussy. From Villeroy & Boch.

Serve casual snacks with the Dharma chip and dip, a modern beauty balancing carved wood and gleaming Nambé metal. Exterior and inset bowls share a sleek, oval silhouette and askew rims to showcase the delicious foods within. Coordinates with Dharma bowls and trays, also by Neil Cohen.

Audun¿s serving pieces coordinate with the yellow, black, and white mix-and-match dinnerware pattern. In Ferme, featuring a quaint French farm scene.

Anything but traditional, Victorian salad plates mix a fun dappled texture and vintage blooms silhouetted against go-anywhere melamine. A favorite for summer entertaining from QSquared.
