Porcelain Votives, Anthropologie

I’ve been using these votives, given to me as a gift from one of my best friends, on the dinner table for a quite a few dinner parties lately and totally love them. Just realized I never posted them, thought some of you might like them too. They look amazing on my dark wood furniture, the contrast plus the glow of candle light makes for a stunning effect.

Cutwork Votives, $20 each.

Pretty Little Things

While flipping through an Anthropologie catalog, I came across these great ceramic bowls. Love the quality of color of glazes on the insides. The gold ones are so pretty, perfect for holiday entertaining.

Bodo Sperlein

Saw Bodo Sperlein‘s work for Lladró in a new special issue of House & Garden and after googling him, found his work quite impressive. I especially loved the Golden Forest fine china set he designed for Germany’s Dibbern. In all, his work shows great shapes with fantastic classic silhouettes and lovely spare and modern patterns.

Golden Forest tableware, €32,00 to €282,00

Sieger Dinnerware by Furstenburg

The My China Emperor Rim line from Sieger is so beautiful. Love the bird motif that’s carried from serving and dinner plates to pasta plates and saucers to footed bowls and teapots. Teriffic line… I’d love to see this mix and matched with white or gold plates. eTabletop.com is a site I just got introduced to from this month’s Lucky Mag. Some great tabletop pieces to be had on there plus they have a registry for all you marrieds-to-be!

From left top, clockwise: Serving Plate, Dinner Plate, Large Saucer, Bread Plate, Small Saucer. From $56 to $240.

Tracy Dove Tealights @ Ona

The quality of color in the blown glass made me stop and take notice. Not much else to say other than it’s totally beautiful.

Max Brenner’s Hug Mug

I went to Max Brenner in Union Square last night and had a delightful dinner. Absolutely loved the design in the restaurant and the drinking vessels that are specially designed for drinking the various chocolate drinks. I ordered the Dark Chocolate hot chocolate in the Hug Mug (pictured above) which is a handle-less mug that is designed to be held cupped in your hands. Loved the shape of the mugs and the saucers and the weight and proportions were perfect. The mugs are available for sale at the restaurant as well as the other custom ceramic-ware. Great place, definitely going back.

Max Brenner Hug Mug, $18.50 for a cup and saucer.
