Adam and Eve Plates

They may look like dinnerware, but the Adam and Eve Plates by Piero Fornasetti are more than that. The plates are handcrafted in Italy and painted with gold. They would look more appropriate on the wall, than on the table, creating the sort of atmosphere that you would expect to see in a gallery of art from centuries ago. The price for the complete set of 24 plates is $5,406.

Kate Spade Pippin Park Sets

Filed under: Dining

Need a gift for a baby shower or a "first birthday party"? Kate Spade's Pippin Park Sets just might fit the bill. Most of the plate/cup sets that are produced for kids are made of plastic - and for good reason, since most kids cannot quite be trusted with the good china. These sets, however, are for kids who can. The plate, bowl and cup collections - with an elephant set for boys and a sheep set for girls - add a bit of elegance to children's dining, while still maintaining a high cuteness factor. Each piece is brightly colored and made from fine, bone china, is lead-free and dishwasher safe. Price: $75.

Thomas Keller Dinnerware

Eating at Thomas Keller's Yountville restaurant, The French Laundry, is one of the best dining experiences in the world, but is certainly not an everyday one. For the sake of your wallet and your waistline, your best bet is to save a trip out to Napa for special occasions and try to recreate the experience at home with Thomas Keller's line of dinnerware. You can cook up your own gourmet meals, perhaps with the help of the French Laundry Cookbook, or simply add a few presentation points to your favorite chicken and rice dish. The collection was designed by Keller with Bertrand Raynaud, the president of the Raynaud porcelain company, which produces the all-white table and dinnerware. It is named after Fernand Point, certainly one of the most famous and influential French restaurateurs/chefs of the past century. The whole collection, from classic plates to cups and saucers, is available at Gumps. Each piece is beautifully simple, suitable for both casual and formal occasions.
