Tableware Stores
A list of the coolest tableware shops around.
3R Living
Park Slope - Brooklyn, NY United StatesWe've come a long way from when eco-living meant wearing a hemp shirt and having a compost bin out back. These days eco-living is as stylish as it is responsible, and 3R Living is a perfect example. The store collects a variety of cleverly...
A Cook's Companion
Cobble Hill - Brooklyn, NY United StatesThe kitchen rivals the workshop in the amount of tools, equipment and gadgets available to consumers. Nowhere is this more apparent than at A Cook's Companion, or as we like to call it A Cook's Ten Thousand Companions. The kitchen store...

C.S. Post & Co.
Chestnut Street District - Hays, KS United StatesTo our best recollection, none of the general stores we've seen in westerns look anything like C.S. Post & Co. But that's OK, we kind of prefer their version of general store anyway, with its stylish merchandising and hundreds of interesting, luxurious home and personal products....

Fishs Eddy
Brooklyn Heights - Brooklyn, NY United StatesYou know what's as American as apple pie: the dishes that most diners serve their pie on. Fishs Eddy calls the stuff "American sturdyware".

Global Table
SoHo - New York, NY United StatesWe think Global Table should become the "Official Tableware Supplier of the Olympics". What other store carries rustic American plates, elegant Japanese sushi dishes, sexy Italian espresso cups, stylish Chinese bamboo placemats and...
Go Mama Go
Cardozo Shaw - Washington, DC United StatesFine dining restaurants may be obsessed with all white all the time tableware, but that doesn't mean you need to be.

Good
Beacon Hill - Boston, MA United StatesName your store "Good" and you're just asking for endless sarcastic comments. (Just off the top of our heads: It's not that good. Not good enough. Good-bye.) But, after spending some time in the store, hell, we think it...

John Derian
East Village - New York, NY United StatesDecoupage and stylish are two words you're not likely to see together very often. The craft of using paper cutouts and varnish to decorate is more often featured in Midwestern farms than New York studios, but John Derian has made decoupage...
Kelly Green
Silverlake - Los Angeles, CA United StatesHonestly, the fact that the furniture, paper goods, home accessories and tableware at Kelly Green are eco-friendly are just a bonus. We just like them because they look cool. Cards are cute, tableware is stylish, furniture is modern, yet warm.
Koo de Kir
Beacon Hill - Boston, MA United StatesLet's face it, not everyone has good taste. Luckily, we live in a society where what you don't have you can buy. Above all, Koo de Kir is a purveyor of good taste. Whether buying for yourself or others, choose among their...
