This Is New York

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

In the Glimmer series, Anna Ehrner merges the clarity and luster of glass with the decadence of gold. Each individual Glimmer product is hand-painted by expert artisans in the Swedish province of Småland. The shapes range from soft and round to bold stars. The shimmering gold pattern creates a harmonic, traditional Christmasy feeling with a new twist.
