The Best 20th Wedding-Anniversary Gifts

Up your breakfast game with this dainty egg cup. Strategist managing editor Maxine Builder has seen them popping up everywhere, including on the menu at Sant Ambroeus restaurant in Soho and onscreen in Call Me by Your Name.

We’re fans of the understated, simple-but-not-basic ceramics from Japanese brand Hasami. They come in six different sizes — ranging from an ultrasmall three-and-a-quarter-inch dish to a dinner-size dish — and are made with a textured, substantial porcelain.

If you like the Hasami Porcelain aesthetic but not the price tag, then these from Our Place are a perfect alternative. Similar aesthetics aside, they’re also just good plates: They stack well for easy storage, are made from a durable porcelain, and are neutral without being pastel.

After 20 years of use, there’s no shame if a few of your dishes have gotten chipped and lost. If you want to start fresh, these plates from dishware start-up Hudson Wilder feel far more expensive than they actually are.

At $16 for a set of four, these dishes are an even cheaper option.

A favorite of cool people like Scott Haven, co-owner of Homecoming, and Sight Unseen co-founder Jill Singer, this is a Strategist-certified status planter. Besides looking neat, it features an integrated saucer for drainage to keep your ZZ or pothos going strong.

Another sculptural-looking option: These graphic porcelain planters from Light + Ladder. Each comes with a matching drainage tray to protect whatever surface you place it on.

The always fashionable Tim Gunn tipped us off to this porcelain chinoiserie-style candle topped with a little Foo dog. He calls the subtle hydrangea scent “a salve for the nose.”

This little brush holder is an inexpensive way to add some personality to your bathroom counter. Our editor Katy Schneider uses one at home.

When Strategist editor Alexis Swerdloff moved into a new apartment and wanted to give its “Pottery Barn circa 1998” fixtures an update, she turned to these vintage-looking door knobs that were a breeze to install.

Porcelain light bulbs tend to give off a softer, warmer light than the standard ones you pick up at the hardware store. In particular, we recommend these from lighting brand Tala, which are made from mouth-blown porcelain glass and have an average life span of 30,000 hours.

Break out the scones and Earl Grey for a proper afternoon tea starring this classic teapot that one Amazon reviewer calls “dainty, but detailed” and “as pretty as the picture.”

This coffee-aficionado-approved brewing pot is simple to use and design-y enough to keep out on display. It’s one of our 100 most-stood-behind products, too.

This sleek white jug from certified B Corporation Skagerak is made from pure porcelain and has a matte white finish. If you’d like to flesh out your collection, the brand makes a porcelain slow brewer, bowl, and teapot too.

Great Jones co-founder and former Grub Street senior editor Sierra Tishgart registered for this candle, in a porcelain tin featuring a crowned T. rex from Jean-Michel Basquiat’s 1984 painting Pez Dispenser, much to her husband’s delight.

A creative centerpiece? A paperweight? A coffee-table curiosity? There’s a bit of a choose-your-own-adventure element to this unglazed porcelain octopus.

This simple bowl gives your in-season, locally grown fruits a home.

Made from baking shards of porcelain onto steel, enamelware — especially the splattered and marbled varieties — has been trending lately. Use this bright colander to strain pasta or just show it off on the counter.
