Some ceramics are simply too lovely to leave on the shelf. Costa Nova is one of our favourites, and our latest arrivals are a very good reminder why.

Made in Portugal from fine stoneware, this is tableware to enjoy every day, whether you're sitting down to a proper dinner or stealing five minutes with a coffee. The Taormina range from Casafina by Costa Nova has us particularly smitten: aqua-glazed plates, bowls, cups and saucers that make setting the table feel like part of the treat.

Alongside it, you'll find characterful Grespresso espresso and lungo cups, plus Madeira ramekins and butter dishes for those smaller finishing touches. Pick a colour you love, mix things up, and put it all to good use. Beautiful ceramics shouldn't be saved for best.
