Anthropologie's Latest Outdoor Entertaining Drop Feels Plucked from a Santorini Soirée

If you’ve ever fantasized about throwing a backyard mezze night in Santorini (or, OK, your cousin’s pool deck in Montauk), this hand-painted terracotta chip and dip bowl would make for a great co-host. Designed exclusively for Anthropologie by The Mediterranean Dish, it features a central well that’s perfectly sized for hummus, labneh, tzatziki—you get the idea. The glazed interior is food-safe and oven-safe up to 220 degrees Fahrenheit (hello, warm dolmas), and yes, it’s also dishwasher- and microwave-safe. 

Whether you’re hosting a sun-drenched brunch or just want to zhuzh up your morning OJ, this handblown glass is sure to elevate the vibe. Part of Anthropologie’s cult-favorite Icon collection, each glass features a tiny, hand-pressed motif—ranging from oranges, lemons and avocados to evil eyes, ladybugs and lips. With more than a dozen designs to choose from, they’re practically begging to be collected, mixed and matched on a summer tablescape. (Just remember, it’s hand-wash only and not suitable for hot drinks.)

Scalloped edges are everywhere right now—on napkins, placemats, even lampshades—and these hand-painted dinner plates might be the most elegant way to bring the trend to your table. Made from clear glass (not that flimsy plastic you’ve seen at big box stores), each plate features a softly rippled silhouette trimmed in black, giving it just enough contrast to feel elevated without overpowering the rest of your setup. They’re sold as a set of four, hand-wash only, and while they’re not microwave- or dishwasher-safe, they are the kind of timeless investment that upgrades everything from a casual Caprese salad to a full Tuscan dinner spread.

Here, a dish towel that’s functional and fabulous. Made from machine-washable cotton (because spilled Negronis happen), it features two illustrated hands toasting with a cherry-topped coupe and a dirty martini—framed by a cheeky border of lemons, olives and maraschino cherries. The phrase “Cheers Dears” is scrawled across the center in a script that feels straight off a vintage cocktail napkin. Plus, at 28 inches long, it’s generously sized for drying, draping or even doubling as a bar cart accessory.

Another standout from Anthropologie’s exclusive collab with The Mediterranean Dish, this set of four hand-painted terracotta bowls brings major Portugal vacation energy to any table. Each one is glazed in a different vibrant color—turmeric yellow, cobalt blue, citrus orange and sea-glass turquoise—with subtly mismatched patterns that feel collected, not cookie-cutter. They’re just the right size for dips, olives, nuts or bite-sized sweets—and they’re dishwasher-, microwave- and oven-safe up to 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Not to mention that they also stack like a dream for easy storage between dinner parties.

Add a cherry on top—literally. These hand-poured wax candles are shaped like the real deal, with a glossy finish and a curved stem wick that makes them look plucked from a dessert tray. Each set includes four unscented cherries in varying hues (from deep plum to ombré peach), perfect for scattering across a summer tablescape or gifting to the friend who’s always posting at golden hour. The only thing to note is that they burn for about an hour each, so they’re more mood-setters than marathon candles.

Scalloped, saturated and hand-crocheted from raffia palm, this is not your average patio placemat. Each 14-inch round is crafted by women artisans in Madagascar and brings the perfect mix of structure and whimsy to your table setup. Choose from three colorways—green/pink, pink/orange, or blue/pink—each finished with ripple-like stitching that feels festive but grounded in earthy texture. Just wipe clean with a damp cloth so you can reuse it all season long.

With its looped rosette weave and hand-crafted glass interior, this Terrain lantern is the kind of piece that instantly warms up a space. A flickering tea light can be dropped inside for a cozy glow, while the intricate paper braiding feels equal parts rustic and refined. Available in two sizes (small: 8 inches tall, large: 10.5 inches), it’s a versatile pick for lining your patio table, styling a bookshelf or gifting to the friend who always hosts. (Warning: It’s not constructed to hold up in inclement weather and should be dusted gently to preserve the handmade details.)
