I am loving these tables and planters from France and the material they are made from.  When I re-do my kitchen, I will seriously consider Enameled French Lavastone.   Available from Catherine Lagot each piece is custom made to the exact size and color you desire.  There are 50+ standard colors and infinitely more when you start to play around.   The are a beautiful mix of stone and ceramic that will last a lifetime in the garden or inside your home.
