If your family likes to do things the traditional way over the festive period, then we bet you've had a fair amount of dinners replete with 'best' china over the recent holidays.

If we were going to invest in some special occasion tableware then we'd be tempted by this. It's called 'Taste' and is the latest collection of ceramics by Paola Navone for the famous Deutch Reichenbach porcelain manufacturer.

First launched at Maison et Objet, Navone's contemporary tableware is impressed completely without decoration, but broad, swung borders play with archetypes and form  - resulting in something entirely different.
