Tea is better enjoyed with a friend. The Teapot for Two holds 13.5 oz of tea, enough to linger over when you have two for tea. A self-contained tea-brewing unit, simply place bags or loose tea in the strainer, put the strainer in the cup and fill with hot water. A lid keeps the water warm while steeping and then provides a convenient rest for the strainer once your tea is thoroughly steeped. Made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass, which is microwave and dishwasher safe. See less

Hand thrown in a small town near Cordova, Spain by one of the few ceramic-producing families left who still gather their clay from nearby riverbanks, these pieces are unlike anything industrially processed today. With three generations working together around their courtyard, it's quite common to see the occasional paw print or pigeon feather embedded in the clay. Working together from initial clay-gathering to final glazing, the family takes pride in knowing that each piece has it's own unique texture, shape and character. Available in white and lovely pastel pink and yellow. Due to the hand-made nature, sizes and shapes vary slightly. Imported from Spain. See less

From brainstorms to “buy milk” everything captured in a Rhodia pad feels a little more special. The key is the paper. Acid-free, extra-white and covered with a grid, it has an exceptionally smooth surface that’s a pleasure to write on with a variety of pens and pencils. Even a fan of fountain pens will not be disappointed. The familiar orange design with two fir trees has remained unchanged since the 1930s and the scored folding cover is a long-time favorite of architects and writers who like how it stays out of their way while they work. The top of each sheet is micro-perforated and the pages that are removed can be stored in the Rhodia box. The set includes a Rhodia Box, four Rhodia pads of various sizes and two Rhodia pencils that are triangulated so they won’t roll away. The paper used in Rhodia pads is made from pulp from FSC certified sustainable forests. Made in France. See less

Russel Wright is a hero in our household, but we were reading his "theories on table setting" the other evening and were a bit shocked and highly amused by the austerity he calls for when it comes to setting a table. According to him your dishes should not distract from the food, (fine, we get it) but limiting your plates to matte white, black, or gray is nuts. We think eating should be fun and joyous, a celebration of tastes, smells, textures, and colors. And contrary to Mr. Wright, we believe that having curious and remarkable dishes adds to a meal, not the other way around. What's wrong with dishes that look beautiful even when there's no food in sight? Absolutely nothing. So, in a rare instance of complete disagreement with an icon of modernism, we offer you these fun, exciting, playful, distracting, colorful, and just plain yummy melamine dishes. See less
