It is said that the 'only thing certain in life is death and taxes', I dare to add one more to that list: Anthropologies ever reliable beautiful tableware. Ok, so it doesn't have the same <em>flow</em> as Franklin's original quote, but it's credence remains the same. Season after season Anthro crank out table wares that are beautiful, evocative and dare I say practically perfect. Bright colours where energy is needed, subdued shades for quieter affairs, time after time their collections make me want to buy a cart full of their wares and throw a dinner party.

The current 'tabletop look' up on their site is no exception - horsey dessert plates, prickly edged pastel shaded dinner plates in complimentary shades and Moroccan inspired bowls all go together in a visually stimulating way that is in no way flea market and is completely cozy and inspiring.
