The New York Gift Fair featured tabletop temptation in a variety of size, shape and materials. One category is of course dinnerware and I was pleased to discover several new sources of ceramics. The charming porcelain of Jacques Pergay is handmade in their factory in Limoges, France. In luminous shapes that echo natural forms, their pieces are dishwasher and microwave safe. Here the Blackberry collection includes a unique teacup and textural designs.
The Kiwi coffee cup has another version of the signature leaf handle
All the porcelain is available in a choice of ten colors in either biscuit, mat or shiny enamel.
The Bonbon collection resembles the packaging of a favorite treat
And the rounded Citrouille grouping looks like it comes right out of the pumpkin patch.
The handmade ceramics company of Montes Doggett has its roots in Mexico original home to owner Monica Porter. Using only the finest natural materials, the pieces are created of high quality Peruvian clay and fired there to be dishwasher and oven safe.
With a tagline “It’s all about the food,” Porter wants to “continue the tradition of creating memories at the table.”
As members of the Sustainable Furnishings Council, they help to promote green practices along with their focus on fair trade and support of indigenous artisans.
Not only are their ceramics beautiful and practical but they have personality!
Caskata‘s distinctive designs are elegant graphic images of the natural world. Based on classic and historical themes, Caskata’s playful approach to timeless imagery, such as the Blue Octopus below, is a refreshing take on porcelain.
Named after one of my very favorite places, one of “breathtaking natural beauty and abundance,” Caskata wants to bring a little of that New England bounty to your home.
Each carefully edited composition, combines a stylish sophistication with picturesque inspiration.
From the classic blue and white of the New England seashore
to the charcoal and creamy white interpretation of the romantic English countryside,
there is a contemporary portrayal of the natural world to fit most interests.
Caskata also has an Artisanal Paper line of gift wrap and napkins, printed in small runs in Massachusetts on heavy weight stock with rich saturated color, perfect for holiday giving.
I also wanted to make note of a new product from the popular producer Mottahedeh. With all the attention to feathers and peacocks lately, I thought the introduction of their beautiful new dessert pattern was worth noting. It looks lovely with the Cornflower Lace dinner plate and Scroll charger (which I own in a versatile matte black).
Do stop by tomorrow for a little surprise before we continue to finish up our look at the New York Gift Fair.
And yet another fabulous post! I am swooning over these ceramics. While I do enjoy a clean white collection, I am in love with the English charcoal and cream set. I think the British blood in me will never tire of a beautiful country setting.
Lovely as always.

Great way to get ready for Thanksgiving.
Wonderful post. Makes me wish I were a bride all over again…44 years out.
Love the Blue Octopus. But the others come a close second! This is a keeper.
Thank you.
I saw that peacock plate and my heart’s aflutter!! franki
The dessert plate would mix well with so many different chargers and dinner plates. I’d love to see it with some golds and greens.
Absolutely gorgeous. My favorite is the Caskata!!! Thanks for sharing again!!!

Absolutely love Caskata and am in love with the English countryside line. Gorgeous! XO
OMG that peacock plate was to die for! Love all the white pieces you photographed. I was suppose to go to the show with a friend of mine but couldn’t make it due to things i needed to tend to here and it looks like there were so many fun things to view.
Amazing ceramics! I am in love with all of that! I need to get a new set of dishes, these are fun! Thanks again for posting!
Love, Jamie Herzlinger
Beautiful! Time to update that wedding china stat.
xxoo
You are SO in my zone here!!! I could attend the NYIGF just for tabletop alone…I love it so. I have so many sets of china, some seasonal, some not. I haven’t met a pretty plate I didn’t like!
I started following Montes Doggett a few years ago: their things were sold in the store “The Dovecote” here in Fearrington Village, N.C. Too bad, they were discontinued about a year ago! So now I oogle them when at the Atlanta Mart.
Another wonderful post!
Great post! I just love Caskata! Their natural themes with clean lines work so well in traditional and contemporary settings…a winning combo!
Delighted to see Montes Doggett and Caskata. Such a cool show!
We are showing our MD tabletop line on Verellen smooth smoke dining tables with
Nouvel Studio glass and South Street Linens. An additional look is going to be the Caskata line on Bonnie & Neil linens. What a show! So many great tabletop & textile items.
Sounds beautiful Sue!! Love all those lines. I look forward to visiting Verellen at High Point! Perhaps you’ll be there too!
