    Silvery Serving Bowl

    A sleek modern bowl with a handcrafted base.

    Michael Aram’s Gotham stainless-steel bowl creates sparkle on the table, and is contrasted by a hand-forged textured base for a modern, eclectic look.

    Products:
    Medium 10" wide x 10" Gotham serving bowl in stainless steel. $199. at Michael Aram.
    Ribbons Candleholder

    Georg Jensen’s handsome light show.

    Ribbons always herald good surprises to come, so ring in the season with a ribbon-inspired sculptural piece. Georg Jensen’s furling ribbon candleholder in a powdered-coat stainless steel is a dynamic focal point for a table, and it can hold tealights or tapers.

    Evergreen Glass Vase

    A modern vessel for minimalist arrangements.

    Designed in Denmark by Thomas Bentzen, the Muuto handblown glass vase boasts a low-key Scandinavian chic. The substantial ash base and wide mouth are perfect for holding boughs of fragrant, fresh-cut branches: place in a foyer to greet guests or use it to add cheer to a mudroom.

    A Bubbly Decanter

    Add an effervescent touch to the bar.

    Some glass decanters take themselves so seriously: all cut glass and heavy faceted stoppers. This Kate Spade Larabee Dot version has a playful, lighter-than-air vibe that’s hard to contain, right up to its bubble-shaped topper.

    Sea Urchin Tea Set

    This ethereal set makes any table prettier.

    Tiffany’s beachy bone-china sea urchin tea set is inspired by sea life, but the snowball shaped vessels lend themselves equally well to a wintry look. Displayed on a coffee table, the tactile texture beckons and looks fresh.

    Virginia Johnson Owl Vase

    A wintry woodland vessel.

    Canadian textile artist Virginia Johnson attracts flocks of fans for her breezy, feminine style.  This painterly snowy owl vase captures her breezy sensibility: fill with loosely tied white blooms or bare branches to give an afternoon buffet table a naturalistic touch.

    Resin Ice Bucket

    A modern alternative to silver.

    A Canadian like Martha Sturdy knows all about coping with freezing tempertures. While some ice buckets form condensation, her resin Wardel bucket keeps its cool and won’t leave a telltale ring of water droplets on your table.

    Products:
    Wardel resin ice bucket,  8" x 8", $324. At Sturdy Living.
    Milky Glass Tumblers

    Stack these sturdy glasses on a buffet.

    Punch looks even more inviting served in these textured, milky-white Mallorca glasses. Designed by Paola Navone for Crate & Barrel, these handcrafted faceted tumblers look frosty and snow-dusted grouped together on a sideboard.

    Rose Gold Servers

    Shine the spotlight on a new metallic hue. 

    Rose gold is hotter than ever, flattering both skin tones and tabletops. Use these jewelry-like salad servers to inject a warm glimmer to a holiday table.

    West Elm
    Products:
    Rose gold salad server set. $52.87. At West Elm.
    Patinated Metallic Tray

    A luxe hybrid of gold and silver.

    A nice alternative to traditional silver and gold, West Elm’s antique-look lacquered tray can corral glasses or be set with snack bowls of nuts or olives at a party, and it can be monogrammed.
