5 ways to class up your Thanksgiving table

1. Autumn Harvest Jacquard Tablecloth ($160)

The meal itself can take days to prepare, so "present it with gusto," says Kelsey Kloss at Elle Decor. This weighty cotton-linen tablecloth, woven by a mill in Russia, was inspired by a still life of harvest fruits. The fabric's surface grows richer with age and use. Buy it at Williams-Sonoma (out of stock, but available in stores).

2. Williams-Sonoma Provisions Dinner Plates ($47 for 12)

This boxed, 12-piece plate set is perfect for a large holiday gathering. The plates, featuring a coupe design, are made of high-fired porcelain and are dishwasher- and oven-safe. Buy it at Williams-Sonoma.

3. Art et Manufacture d'Annette Pie Plate ($75)

Give your dinner guests a lovely surprise as they dig into dessert. This charming stoneware pie plate, created by a Quebec ceramic designer, features a lacy cobalt pattern that peeks through as slices disappear. Buy it at Food52.

4. Riedel Ouverture Magnum ($54 for eight)

This dishwasher-safe crystal wine glass "has a unique ability," says the editors at The Sweethome: It presents favorably the flavor of virtually any beverage — ending the pressure to provide specialized stemware for red wine, white, and Champagne. Buy it at Amazon.

5. Victorinox Granton Edge Carving Knife ($46)

This 10-inch knife with a rosewood handle is sharp enough to cut turkey paper-thin, and the blade's dimpled edge ensures smooth slicing by preventing the meat from sticking. A Fibrox-handled version is available at a lower price. Buy it at Amazon.
