Noritake Dinnerware, Veneto Pasta Bowl

A modern canvas for everyday meals, the Bloom Shadow salad plates have a smooth, flat surface that's artfully scribbled with sun-yellow florals for a look that's fresh--and in durable porcelain--not fussy. From Villeroy & Boch.

Like a well-manicured flower bed, the Cocoa Blossom dinnerware and dishes collection from Mikasa brings just the right amounts of whimsy and sophistication to the table. Rich hues of chocolate and cinnamon color the lush blooms beautifully set against elegant white porcelain. Shown clockwise from top: Lily (top), Peony (right), Iris (bottom), Rose (left).
