The smooth, translucent plates and bowls may look like pieces of beach glass that have been worn by ocean waves, but they're actually made from postindustrial recycled glass. The dishes, from Riverside Design Group, are sold at Fiddlehead, a new eco-friendly housewares and gift store on Newbury Street. Look there for recycled-glass wineglasses, stationery made from recycled paper, and even piggy banks made from recycled aluminum

FIDDLEHEAD 292 Newbury Street, Boston, 617-247-1120
