Double flicker. If you’re not already a groupie for this candlestick’s cousin get ready to be twice as taken. This little unglazed terracotta beaut has an unusual coiled structure that looks almost as if it’s hovering above the surface. And, let’s face it, two lights are always better than one.
Sparkle & sip. Take one look at these gems, and it’ll probably come as no surprise that they’re handmade by master glassmakers in Italy. Every goblet and tumbler here gets its shine from blown lead-free glass, plus added texture all over.
To create this porcelain jar’s artistic accents, Courtney Hamill slip casts and hand paints each with 22-karat gold leafing in her Atlanta-based backyard studio. Did we mention it’s food safe and watertight? It’s perfect for stashing everything from herb-infused oils to incense.

Mugs tend to pile up in your cupboard. You get one from a gift shop at a National Park, another at a holiday gift exchange, another at a craft fair. Like your stuffed animals when you were a kid, you take turns using each one cuz you kinda feel bad for them. Until this one came along.
Down to earth. Stunning isn’t a word usually used to describe coasters but yeah, we said it. Crafted in Buenos Aires, Argentina at the Sibilia Studio, each of these soft-edged copper coasters is hand painted and patinated, so no two are alike. Mattes, metals, martinis—is it happy hour yet?

What a surprise. This Halloween pumpkin’s both a trick and a treat. Take a peek underneath that dark chocolate exterior, and you’ll find a parade of spooky confections inside (raspberry caramel ghosts, a peanut butter cup, and pumpkin spice cranberries, to be exact).

The Delta family of lamps by Rich Brilliant Willing features fabric shades that are based on traditional box pleating techniques. The unique, yet familiar forms resemble rooftop vents, turbines or propulsion systems for some, and classical columns or glowing Japanese lanterns to others.
