What’s new, what’s great, what we rate
CHOSEN BY EDITOR KAREN BARNES
LIGHT FANTASTIC
New discovery: candlesticks made from handblown borosilicate glass by Egyptian artisans. At first touch they seem light – insubstantial, even – but the special glass can withstand high temperatures. Choose from a luscious mix of sorbet colours. From £30 each; issygranger.com
CLICKABLE BEAUTY
I recently stumbled across Nom Living, a website that oozes style on every page. These stoneware mixing bowls have a useful lip for pouring, and they’re safe for the microwave and dishwasher. Large H16cm bowl, £49.50; small H12.5cm bowl, £30; nomliving.com
JUICY!
Handmade in Devon, this ceramic lemon squeezer is properly pointy (for efficient squeezing), properly deep (many are too shallow) and easy to pour from. It’s sold by a shop committed to championing independent makers – well worth a visit if you’re in Bristol. £27; thebristolartisan.com
SLOW BURNERS
For something to light in those glass candlesticks, how about a pair of chunky tapered hand-dipped candles? They’re made in England, come in a sexy muted colour palette, have a nine-hour burn time and are made from mineral wax that gives off less smoke. £5.95 per pair; wintersmoon.co.uk
