Le Creuset Stoneware 12-Ounce Mug, Flame

A blank slate. Subtle concentric rings and a timeless silhouette combine in the ultra-versatile Loft Trend Rim soup bowl from THOMAS by Rosenthal. Double-fired porcelain proves extra durable, segueing seamlessly from oven to table.

Wedgwood substitutes texture for tone in the exquisite Intaglio Platinum creamer. White bone china embossed with intricate geometric patterns is undeniably modern but inspired by Georgian-era designs.

Understated simplicity produces an overall elegant effect in this Powercourt flatware from Waterford's collection of place settings. The delicate crisscross pattern around the edge of each handle makes the set subtle enough to look great with virtually any table setting.

A thoroughly modern beauty, the Garden Glimmer mug from Martha Stewart Collection balances smart and striking design with a stylized botanical pattern in ultra-sturdy porcelain. (Clearance)
