(Bloomberg Businessweek) --
1. Target
With its speckled surface and sturdy shape, this earthenware pitcher could pass for an antique-store find, one with a certain laid-back country charm. Use it as a vase for flowers on a rustic table or to water your houseplants. $20
2. Bernardaud
The storied French brand Bernardaud pairs its Limoges porcelain with silhouettes of an antebellum-era black woman, recognizable as the work of artist Kara Walker, who created it as part of a 2014 exhibition. Limited to an edition of 1,000, each comes numbered and signed. $721
3. Wiener Silber
Designed in the 1930s by the Viennese architect Otto Prutscher, this quart-size art deco carafe has hand-worked, undulating lines on the surface that rival the richness of its gold-plated interior. It can also come without gold for a more subdued effect. $9,650
4. VonShef
Although the brushed-gold exterior and criss-crossing etched lines are the first things that catch your eye, it’s the built-in lip to trap ice that will quickly make this your favorite dinner party tool. It’s narrow—with a 6.5-inch diameter—but still holds almost 2 quarts. $22
5. Kahler
Norwegian designer Hans-Christian Bauer based his collection for Kahler on a minimalist, vertically lined pattern by early 20th century Danish painter and designer Svend Hammershoi. The 42-ounce pitcher also comes in white. $74
