From our Country Estate collection—the conservatory is a serene place of growth and nurturing, reminding us to spend time with loved ones over alfresco summertime lunches. Our scalloped plate pairs superbly with long conversations and perfumed salads plucked from the herb garden. Or for a solitary respite, spend an afternoon penning sonnets in the reading pavilion with a slice of spiced chocolate cake. This piece features the charming hen house and balloon motifs.
Again, like the dinner plates of the same design, these are very good but not perfect. They are beautiful to look at, a dreamy, modern take on traditional toile. The scalloped edges make them even lovelier. But it's the weight that keeps them from being perfect. These are too heavy to be very practical or precious.. Noha Forster. Chicago. Sat Apr 20 2024
