I'm always thrilled to discover products that are as functional as they are stylish. With the Nori platter by Hudson Beach Glass, you can display tasty homemade sushi in style, and, once the dishes are washed and put away, this splendid piece can take center stage on a credenza.

Recycled glass is blown and etched to resemble the edible species of seaweed this platter is named after, while its sapphire hue adds an exciting appeal. The Nori platter is so dazzling that your dinner guests may spend more time raving about your exquisite taste in service ware than the meals you serve on them. (Available at Ruby Living Design for $170.)
