Frequently Asked Questions

Six to eight place settings of dinnerware and flatware, everyday tumblers and wine glasses, a few serving pieces, airtight canisters and a stack of dish towels. Build the collection over time instead of buying an oversized boxed set. Choosing one color palette early makes it easy to add matching pieces later.

Definitely, and a mixed table often feels more personal than a single set. Keep one constant: a color palette, a single material like stoneware, or white dinner plates topped with patterned salad plates and bowls. Mixing works best when pieces are similar in weight and scale, so nothing looks out of place.

Most porcelain, stoneware and tempered glass is dishwasher safe. Hand-wash metallic rims, hand-painted pieces, lead crystal, wood handles and cast iron. If you want everything to go in the dishwasher, check each product's care instructions before buying, since similar-looking pieces can have very different requirements. When in doubt, hand-wash anything decorated.

Add natural textures and softer light: linen dish towels and a table runner, wood cutting boards and bowls, a washable rug by the sink, and a small lamp or under-cabinet lighting instead of a single bright overhead fixture. A few handmade ceramics and a vase of stems add personality without clutter.
