I like dinner and serveware that has a sort of solid and rustic look and feel. My all-time favorite set of plates came from Portugal – gorgeous, rich colors, shiny glaze. I have very pieces left, but that’s because I didn’t put that beautiful stuff up on a shelf. My family enjoyed it each and every day. When I shop for something new, it’s those plates, that look, that I’m trying to recreate.
I love this new set of serveware from Williams-Sonoma. It’s covered with pictures of artichokes, eggplant, tomatoes, and herbs. I like the generous size and that the dishes are safe for both microwave and dishwasher.

At France’s celebrated open-air markets (marchés), farmers take pride in their colorful displays of fresh seasonal produce. Inspired by this Gallic tradition, we commissioned Parisian painter Marc Lacaze to design serveware that’s ideal for vegetable-inspired fare from pastas to salads to stews. Made in Portugal, the earthenware pieces have hand-painted border filets.
