Heath Ceramics Summer Collection

Filed under: Dining

Heath Ceramics' newest seasonal collection features an upscale picnic bag that comes with a caddy and two three-piece place settings, plus features a wine slot and and a pocket for linens and flatware. The bag is multi-purpose and is "made to last a lifetime (just like your Heathware), from industrial materials," by designer/maker S. Stein in Santa Fe, N.M. Available April 1-October 1, picnic set, $548; bag alone, $348. Comes in persimmon (shown) and olive (see gallery).

The collection also offers a variety of pieces that don't look especially summery (the colors are more fall-like) but are nice enough to use all year, indoors or out. They are: two styles of bowl, a bud vase, a bud vase set, a bulb vase, two single-stem vases, a vase set with all three kinds, and a two- or four-cup set. See the gallery for a few photos of these simple, lovely pieces.

Forma Stoneware Pitcher

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining

The Forma Stoneware Pitcher is a beautiful piece of stoneware, so it is just icing on the cake that it happens to be as durable and versatile as you could want a serving piece to be. It can be used for water, wine or even as a flower vase. The advantage to using it as a pitcher is that its cylindrical design prevents it from taking up too much space on the table, while the thick stone of the pitcher keeps liquids cool. It is handcrafted and very sturdy. It measures 3 1/4"W x 12" H and can hold up to 1.5qt. of liquid. Price: $88.

Jonathan Adler Condom Caddy

Product Dose featured this naughty little bedroom accent yesterday. Adler, who is famous for his unique pottery, offers this little caddy in brown and white stoneware with platinum accents or plain white. Note the ever-so-subtle sword motif around the sides of the container and the little details in the shield on the top. At $55 it would make a great gift for today's modern Casanova.
