The Sora Short Tumblers from New York-based Hudson Wilder will look beautiful with any table setting and are appropriate for any occasion, from your Tuesday night dinners to your finest dinner parties. They look like updated versions of a lowball glass, with an even height and diameter of 3 inches and about a 10-ounce capacity. Unlike most drinking glasses that have thick, cumbersome bases, this elegant set of four features an evenly thin construction from the sides to the bottom, for an understated minimal design. The glass is almost imperceptibly tapered, for a modernist look that is utilitarian but not austere. And we absolutely love their delicate craftsmanship—each is individually hand-blown to ensure a consistently high quality and clean, rounded edges. Despite being incredibly light and thin, the Sora Short Tumblers are also exceptionally strong; borosilicate glass is much more durable than traditional glass, so the tumblers have the fineness of crystal without the fragility. They are less likely to crack, chip or scratch than other types of glass and are even dishwasher-safe. We also like that the tumblers are resistant to thermal shock, similar to Pyrex, so you can use the glasses for both hot and cold liquids without any risk of shattering.

It's hard to find glassware that is both sturdy and delicate. We like the simple, appealing design of Kinto's iced tea glasses, which are heat-resistant and sturdier than traditional glass. The subtle lip on the rims of the glasses emphasize their sleek tapered shape and also make for easier drinking. Established in 1972 in Shiga, Japan, Kinto incorporates Japanese principles of simplicity and subtle elegance into its tableware designs.

Take your entertaining to the next level or gift this board to the host/hostess in your life.

Blomus' elegant tumblers may look and feel delicate, but don't let that fool you. Made from shock-resistant borosilicate glass, they can be used for hot or cold drinks and have highly effective temperature insulation. When filled with freshly brewed coffee, the cups can be held comfortably without burning your hands. For iced drinks, the double-wall construction prevents any surface condensation—no more water stains, even without a coaster. Plus, the design creates a visual illusion that your drink is suspended in midair for a chic, modern look.

This finely detailed set of decorative and functional trays is modeled after Japanese bento boxes. Perfect for serving favorite bites, this set of three trays from Itza Wood is made from sustainably harvested granadillo wood in Petén, Guatemala. Each bento plate is handmade by skilled artisans, who dry the tropical wood in a kiln to prevent warping and then carve and finish each piece. We really like the fact that these trays are both functional and striking, while being produced by a company that supports the local economy and sustainably harvests the wood to ensure the forest remains healthy for future generations.

Artisanally made from exotic dark grain wood that has been locally and sustainably sourced in the Petén region of Guatemala, this Itza Wood server is equally as beautiful as it is functional for plating up pie, cake or quiche.

This unique assortment of wooden knives from Itza Wood, all made of sustainably sourced and harvested tropical hardwood, is as artful as it is durable. The three different sizes feature three different woods: the large ziricote, a deeply dark wood native to Guatemala, the medium jobillo, also called tigerwood for its fiery color and dark stripes, and the small pixi, known for its curvaceous spalting lines and sandy desert hue. These utensils emanate a wonderful sense of depth and nature and help elevate any table setting. Use the smaller knives with your next cheese board or the larger ones to serve dessert.

Made by artisans in India, these stunning cotton tablecloths are created by hand using a resist block-printing technique. A woodblock is carved with an intricate relief design, covered with ink and then carefully pressed onto the fabric multiple times to create these unique designs. The Indigo Floral pattern features ornate vines and blossoms in shades of indigo, while the Monsoon Floral shows a smaller pattern of blue and green blooms.

This beautiful basket is hand-made in Uganda by female artisans and features an eye-catching design inspired by African mudcloth. Mudcloth, or Bogolanfini, is a Malian tradition that involves using plant extracts and mud. Black and copper organic-shaped chevrons stand out on the natural raffia background, which is a material made from palm leaves native to tropical regions of Africa. We love how the coiled shape adds extra detail, and the simple loop at the top for easy hanging—since you’ll definitely want the basket on display.

This beautiful board made from native big-leaf mahogany functions as both a durable cutting board and a unique warm-toned surface for serving. Handcrafted by Itza Wood with major attention paid to curing, sanding and finishing, this board features unique grains of wood sustainably harvested from Guatemala’s Petén Jungle. Each of these hard tropical wood pieces can take months to create, due to the drying process the wood goes through, and can last a lifetime. It takes an average 14 steps in the woodworking process to reach the highest standard of quality finish. To ensure durability the tropical wood is dried in a kiln, de-stressing it to prevent warping and changes as it is then transformed by an artisanal team of talented carvers, carpenters and crafts people. We really like the fact that while this board is both functional and striking, while being produced by a company that supports the local economy and sustainably harvests the wood to ensure the forest remains healthy for future generations.
