When it comes to Canadian pride, our cup runneth over right now.

And in lieu of winning one of Canada’s 26 Olympic medals co-designed by Aboriginal artist Corrine Hunt, we’re awarding ourselves Imm Living’s totem cups. Designed by Torontonian Rod Southcott, the set of four stackable porcelain cups pays homage to the artistry of our First Nations’ totem carvings.

Our cup of Tim Hortons coffee has never been so culturally cool.

Collecting decorative china is decidedly non-grandma when the plates are pop arty with a dash of Salvador Dali surrealism.

Fascinated by 19th century operatic singer Lina Cavalieri, Italian designer Piero Fornasetti created more than 500 black-and-white variations of her face and put them on plates ($176-$245). Like a modern Mona Lisa with a sense of humour, there’s even stunning Louis XIV style armchairs ($1,640) upholstered in her likeness.

We bet Cavalieri could teach today’s pop tarts a thing or two about being a diva.
