Vida by Espana Dinnerware, Jardine Dinner Plate

Ribbon Stripe is a cultured design inspired by a favorite Paris porcelain tea set. The original, crafted in the late-18th to early-19th century in the north of Paris, featured elaborate, figural hand-painting and lavish gilt accents. In this clean, modern version, varying widths of gilt and color banding create a design motif that is spare yet sophisticated, with concentric bands of silver circling the classically styled rims.

Lenox Simply Fine blurs the line between garden style and modern design with Watercolors Amethyst place settings. Painted blossoms flourish in purple hues against a kaleidoscope of patterns while white coupe shapes couple the sleek look and unparalleled durability of bone china. (Clearance)

A fresh twist on a Noritake favorite, the Colorwave Turquoise Bloom salad plate offers the same sleek style and durability as the original dinnerware pattern but with a pretty floral print.

Dessert just got sweeter. A pierced edge lends feminine frills to this already-graceful white porcelain cake stand from Martha Stewart Collection.
