Pennsylvania Dutch inspired stoneware

Peggy Stephens, proprietor of Premium Steap, has moved her superior tea shop from its longtime perch on Rittenhouse Square to a cozier suite in an office building in Chinatown. She still carries a wide selection of excellent teas, teapots, and accessories, such as this 50-ounce, hand-blown, borosilicate glass pitcher. With a stainless steel tea filter, the pitcher is designed for brewing loose tea hot or cold. A sampler of her recommended iced teas is the perfect accompaniment: It includes korakundah (black); strawberry raspberry rhubarb (fruit); Moroccan mint (green); Chinese gunpowder with peppermint (green); lemon lavender chiffon (rooibos); orange grapefruit (herbal).

Iced tea maker, $32, sampler of five 2-ounce teas, $25; at Premium Steap, 211 N. 13th St.; Suite 304; 215-568-2920, New hours: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon. to Fri.

Pennsylvania Dutch folk art is the inspiration for the new Lancaster line of stoneware available at Williams-Sonoma. It's a chic modern take on traditional motifs like the distelfink in muted gold and blue tones (and it's currently 20 percent off).

Lancaster salad plates, $39.96 (with discount) for a set of four at Williams-Sonoma, 200 S. Broad St., Philadelphia, 215-545-7392 or at Williams-Sonoma.com
