Best Tableware

  • Marimekko

    200 Fifth Ave., nr. 23rd St.; 212-843-9121

Thus, when the Finnish brand unveiled its 4,000-square-foot flagship last fall, the standouts weren’t the ubiquitous textiles but the tableware. Handmade wineglasses, tumblers, and dessert goblets come in reds, turquoises, oranges, and greens (from $39), and the pieces are as resilient as they are eye-catching: stained-glass and glazed porcelain prints won’t fade over time; birch trays are waterproof and shatterproof.
