Lenox Dinnerware, Murray Hill Salt Shaker

With fanciful beading and a feminine edge, Lenox French Perle dinner plates have an irresistibly old-fashioned sensibility. Hardwearing stoneware is dishwasher safe and, in a soft pistachio hue with antiqued trim, a graceful addition to every meal.

Go platinum. Solid bands and sparkling squares in white porcelain give the double-handled Pembroke Platinum sugar bowl a look that's festive yet refined. A brilliant addition to a contemporary dinnerware collection by Noritake.

Hearty stoneware in glossy black with contrasting earth tones gives the Flair dinnerware set from Sango its striking, casual appeal.

From the world-famous Reed & Barton company, the classic and traditional Soho pattern is a richly cut design in clear crystal. This collection of highball glasses is a perfect choice for first-time collectors of affordable crystal stemware and barware.
