Easter Means Lettuce Leaf Plates

I have many sets of dishes, but I think that my signature set has to be my lettuce leaf plates.
 It started with some dinner plates and over the years has become quite a collection.  They remind me of vintage majolica and are the perfect table setting for Easter.  Although I only use them a few times a year, they're always on display.  I stack them on an industrial restaurant pot rack in my pantry.

The graduated shelves work for my plates, bowls, and serving pieces.
I was able to find the plates in green and white.

Did you notice the lamp with the polka dot shade?  It originally was a coffee urn.
 I love the spigot.

I use the bowls for soup or salad.

The dinner plates fit on the large bottom shelf.

The pantry is a long narrow room.  I wanted to show you how the dishes are displayed in the corner. I've updated the other side of the room.  You'll have to wait to see the new look.

I'll be hosting Easter for my family and I can't wait to get the dishes off the shelf and onto the table.  I don't have a picture of one of our Easter tables, but I do have a photo of the white lettuce leaf plates on my garden table in my back yard.  Notice I have lettuce leaf place mats under the dishes.

Happy Easter

I see that Tory Burch is reissuing the original lettuce leaf plates by Dodie Thayer.
