Each seasonal chapter returns to four sections: “What’s in Season,” “At the Table,” “Celebrating the Season,” and a closing to-do list. There are ideas for displaying flowers and produce, arranging a table, and making decorations with natural materials. Photographs move between the garden, kitchen, and dining table, with hand-drawn illustrations alongside. The details range from summer tomatoes and autumn dahlias to dried citrus garlands and winter menus.

Christene Barberich contributes the foreword, while guest voices include cook and author Alison Roman, Sarah and Sohail Zandi of Brushland Eating House, and April Valencia of Masa Memory. The 280-page hardcover offers a useful starting point for planning a gathering or bringing something of the season indoors. It also makes an appealing host gift, with plenty to revisit as the year turns.

The terracotta-colored porcelain water bottle has a deep reddish-brown hue; Grey and Black offer lighter and darker alternatives. Use it for juice at breakfast, set it on the dinner table, or keep it beside the bed with a drinking glass.

Each bottle is sold individually with a natural smoked cork stopper. The porcelain body is dishwasher safe with the stopper removed.

Made in Portugal from earthenware, the stand measures just over 12 inches across, giving it enough room for a full-size cake, tart, pastries, or a pile of fruit. The raised pedestal brings food above the surrounding plates while also making the leaf pattern visible from across the table.

Choose Green for the classic Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage treatment, with deep variations of leafy color, or Pink for a more unexpected version of the same form. Both work equally well for birthday cakes, afternoon pastries, cheeses, or as a serving centerpiece when entertaining.

The cake stand is dishwasher safe and suitable for microwave reheating. Avoid conventional oven use and abrupt temperature changes.

The broad cream-colored plate resembles an oversized flower, with softly scalloped petals and a hand-painted butterfly resting at one edge. A pedestal base raises cakes, tarts, pastries, or a pile of macarons above the rest of the table while leaving the decoration visible even when the stand is in use.

At 15.4 inches in diameter, it is generously sized for a full cake and substantial enough to work as a centerpiece between celebrations. Use it for birthdays and desserts, bring it out for afternoon tea, or leave it on a dining table filled with fruit when there is no cake in sight.

Made in Portugal from earthenware. Dishwasher safe; avoid abrupt temperature changes and conventional oven use.

The leaf veins are part of the ceramic relief rather than a flat surface pattern. Darker green glaze gathers inside the recessed lines, while the raised edges remain lighter and more pronounced. From spout to handle, the teapot measures 12.5 inches, giving it enough scale to become the center of a tea table before the first cup is poured.

Its capacity works for several servings of black tea at breakfast, Earl Grey with cake in the afternoon, or mint and chamomile after dinner. It can also carry iced hibiscus tea or a citrus infusion for an outdoor lunch, provided sudden changes in temperature are avoided.

The teapot does not require a complete matching service. Place it beside plain white cups, clear glasses, or simple cream-colored stoneware and let the cabbage form provide the color. For a more abundant table, pair it with Bordallo Pinheiro’s Cabbage cups, saucers, plates, and serving pieces.

At brunch, use it alongside pastries, fruit, and preserves. For an afternoon gathering, bring it out with a cake stand and a stack of mismatched cups. Once the tea is finished, the closed teapot can remain on an open kitchen shelf, sideboard, or bar cabinet rather than being hidden away with ordinary serveware.

Tomato soup is the obvious match, but it is hardly the only one. Bring it out for chilled gazpacho or pappa al pomodoro in summer, then use it for minestrone, chowder, chili, curry, braised beans, or mashed potatoes during colder months. Prepared hot food should be transferred into the tureen after cooking, as oven use is not recommended.

Remove the lid and the tureen becomes a substantial open serving bowl. It can hold pasta salad at a buffet, fruit salad at brunch, bread rolls at a holiday dinner, or a generous pile of lemons and oranges on a kitchen island. The leafy lid makes the reveal part of the presentation without requiring elaborate table styling.

Between meals, the closed tureen can remain on a sideboard, open shelf, or countertop as a sculptural ceramic object. At almost 12 inches wide, it has enough scale to stand on its own rather than disappearing among smaller dishes and accessories.

The earthenware is microwave safe for reheating and dishwasher safe. Never run it empty in the microwave, use an oven mitt when removing heated earthenware, and avoid sudden temperature changes. Because the tureen weighs almost five pounds before it is filled, carry it carefully with both hands.

This set comes in assorted colors, so the table gets a little life without turning into a theme. They’re solid, nicely balanced, and happy to go straight into the dishwasher after dinner.

They’re made from borosilicate glass, so they’re light in the hand, comfortable to drink from, and not precious about everyday use. The vertical pleats add grip and catch the light in a way that makes the colors feel deeper than they are. Six assorted two-tone colors, ready for weeknight dinners, guests, or the desk that always needs a glass nearby.

At 3 oz (85 ml), these mini martini glasses are sized for tasting pours, aperitifs, and small cocktails where proportion matters. The reduced scale keeps the drink focused and prevents it from warming too quickly, making them especially suited to classic martinis, vermouth, or spirit-forward recipes served in smaller quantities.

The borosilicate has a clean, crisp look and the glasses feel light without feeling fragile. Each stem shifts the stance slightly, but the bowl stays the same across the set, so they read like a family.

Use it to call guests to the table, mark a pause during a meeting, or open and close a short practice. The bell has reassuring weight, sits stable on a flat base, and looks like a small piece of metalwork when not in use.
