Amalfi Reactive Glaze 12 Piece
Dinner Set, £48 (was £60)
Dunelm is a popular place for shoppers to upgrade their homeware, and it's known for its affordable prices.
The current sale is cutting prices even further, with up to 50% off, and the Amalfi Reactive Glaze 12 Piece Dinner set is gaining praise from Dunelm fans.
This gorgeous-looking set includes four dinner plates, four side plates and four cereal bowls.
So if your plate cupboard's looking a little mismatched and is need of a glow-up, you could do a full revamp for less than £50.
The name refers to the Amalfi coast in Italy, and this range definitely has that sunny, Mediterranean look.
So it's great if you're looking for an alfresco set-up when having guests over for dinner this summer.
There are four pared-back shades to choose from, but it's the blue shade that looks most like Anthropologie's.
Shoppers are picking up on the similarities too - the most noticeable difference, really, is the price tag.
Although Anthropologie doesn't have a set with the exact same 12items included, the Ginny range is a close match.
But you'd have to buy dinner plates, side plates and bowls separately - and they would all cost £176 altogether.
The colour isn't the only similarity, as both are made from a reactive glaze, something which is often used for handmade items.
This means that there are variations in the shape and pattern, so each piece is slightly unique.
This is something which is often used for handmade items, so it can give stoneware pieces the illusion of being more expensive than they are.

A third Dunelm fan was also complimentary, saying: ''This is a gorgeous set'', and adding ''the dinner plates fit in our dishwasher without a problem.''

Fuel prices climb again after dropping to near four-year lows in May

The RAC hopes a Government-backed Fuel Finder scheme later this year will help drivers secure fairer deals PUMPED UP Fuel prices climb again after dropping to near four-year lows in May Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FUEL prices are climbing again at the pumps after dropping to near four-year lows in May, stats show. Unleaded now costs 134.15p a litre on average, up 2p since June 1 — while diesel has risen to 141.21p from 138.39p. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Filling a 55-litre family car now costs £73.78 for petrol, up £1.06, and £77.67 for diesel, an increase of £1.55, RAC figures revealed. Supermarket fuel prices rose slightly less, with petrol priced at 130.26p and diesel at 136.67p. Northern Ireland remains the cheapest region, with unleaded at 128p and diesel at 134p. The surge follows tensions in the Middle East, which pushed oil prices from $64 to $79 per barrel last month. Although oil prices have dropped back to $67, costs at the pump remain high. RAC spokesman Simon Williams criticised retailers for raising prices quickly despite falling wholesale costs. He said: 'July will be a telling month — will retailers stop raising prices or even cut them? 'Or will drivers be stuck paying more for the foreseeable future?' The Competition and Markets Authority recently blamed weak competition and high retailer margins for inflated costs. While prices remain far below record highs from 2022, fuel remains a major expense. The RAC hopes a Government-backed Fuel Finder scheme later this year will help drivers secure fairer deals.

Monte dei Paschi says 35% ownership of Mediobanca would be enough

MILAN, July 3 (Reuters) - Italian state-backed bank Monte dei Paschi di Siena ( opens new tab said on Thursday securing at least 35% of Mediobanca's ( opens new tab capital under its buyout offer for the rival would be sufficient to gain effective control. In the investor document detailing the terms of the hostile bid that will kick off on July 14 and run until September 8, Monte dei Paschi said it did not have to necessarily secure two thirds of its target's share capital. That is the threshold the offer is currently subject to. However, Monte dei Paschi could waive that condition in order to ensure the offer succeeds even with a lower take-up. "The purchase of a shareholding between 35% and 50% of Mediobanca's voting share capital would enable Monte dei Paschi to obtain de facto control, by exercising a dominant influence at the ordinary shareholders' meeting of Mediobanca and impacting the general course of management," it said. Monte dei Paschi was rescued by the state in 2017 after a decade at the centre of Italy's slow-moving banking crisis. It has since been restructured and has returned to profit under Chief Executive Luigi Lovaglio. Since failing to clinch a sale of the Siena-based bank to UniCredit ( opens new tab in 2021, Rome has strived to use the privatisation of Monte dei Paschi as a way to create a third large banking player in the country alongside market leaders Intesa Sanpaolo ( opens new tab and UniCredit. UniCredit's bid for smaller peer Banco BPM ( opens new tab in November deprived Monte dei Paschi of the merger partner the Italian government had wished for, triggering the surprise bid for larger rival Mediobanca in January.

Italian lender BPER boosts Pop Sondrio bid to $6.39 billion

July 3 (Reuters) - Italian lender BPER ( opens new tab has increased its bid for smaller rival Popolare di Sondrio ( opens new tab to 5.44 billion euros ($6.39 billion), the bank said on Thursday, heating up the race in the country's financial sector that has seen a flurry of deals and offers. The bid represents a premium of 3% based on Popolare di Sondrio (BPSO) shares' last closing price, valuing the bank at 5.44 billion euros, according to Reuters' calculation. The revised offer includes 1.450 newly issued BPER shares and an additional cash consideration of 1.00 euro per BP Sondrio share. The bid comes just a day after Italy's antitrust authority, AGCM, conditionally approved BPER's deal for BPSO, stating that BPER is required to sell six branches, which includes 5 of BPER and 1 of BP Sondrio, within 10 months. BPER and BPSO have in common their main shareholder, insurer Unipol , which distributes its products through both banks. Unipol agreed to BPER's bid last week. In February, BPER joined in a raft of takeover bids rocking the country's financial sector, with an initial offer of 4.3 billion euros for all BPSO shares. BPER's market capitalisation of about 10.9 billion euros is more than double mid-sized lender BPSO's market value of 5.32 billion euros, according to LSEG data. The increased offer from Italy's fourth-largest bank comes just weeks after BPER Chief Executive Gianni Franco Papa said that the bank would stick to its current bid. Italy's banking sector has in the last year witnessed a wave of bids and offers, including UniCredit's ( opens new tab all-share offer for smaller peer Banco BPM ( opens new tab, creating a complex web of deals between some of its biggest players.
