Villeroy & Boch New Cottage Claret, Amber

The ceramic edge in Kyocera's Santoku knife offers superior edge retention, holding its edge at least 10 times longer than other professional cutlery, including high carbon steel. Lightweight and razor sharp, it provides incredibly thin and straight slices.

An exotic array of pattern and texture - from rustic tile prints to subtle tone-on-tone woven jacquard - is designed in a palette of soft neutrals with hints of color to create a look of bold bohemian romance perfect for any home.

Handmade by expert artisans, this insulated, double-wall glassware is made from a lightweight borosilicate glass that is just as strong as typical glassware. Resistant to temperature swings and scratches, it keeps both warm drinks and cool drinks at just the right temperature. Because beverages are held entirely by the inner wall, there's no condensation-so no need for a coaster.

The beautiful lace borders encircling every items of the Princess dinnerware series are decorated with mussels, revealing a close relationship with the fluted services. Both the actual pieces and the hand-painted pattern of this distinctive collection were designed by Arnold Krog in the 1880, when he was artistic director of Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory. This series, however, was not actually produced for practically another hundred years in 1978.
