Villeroy & Boch Dinnerware, French Garden Soup Cup

Get the skinny. Polished and practical, the Balance hostess set lends new artistry to modern tables in ultra-durable stainless steel. Fluid lines and narrow handles add character to a serving fork and spoons to match the 20-piece flatware set.

Polished aluminum alone makes Rivet serveware a standout, but with contrasting bronze handles and a sleek yet generously proportioned silhouette, this Dansk serving bowl embodies modern sophistication. (Clearance)

With the look of hand-thrown pottery in hard-wearing stoneware, the Swirl square vegetable bowl from Mikasa enhances casual meals with fuss-free elegance. A matte finish with glazed accents adds stylish distinction to a serene tan hue.

A modern canvas for everyday meals, the Bloom Sun round platter has a smooth, flat surface that's artfully scribbled with golden florals for a look that's fresh – and in durable porcelain – not fussy. From Villeroy & Boch.
