The best tablescapes have one piece that refuses to follow the rules.
This is that piece. At 14.25" x 10.5", the platter is large enough to anchor a table or a wall — but it's the decoration that makes it impossible to put down.
Instead of the structured panels and central medallions that define most Chinese export porcelain, this one lets its botanicals roam freely across a white ground: full-bloom peonies, irises, carnations, ferns, and clusters of berries in pink, lavender, blue, yellow, and green, painted as if someone simply couldn't stop adding one more flower, one more tendril, one more bloom reaching toward the edge.
The gilded rim pulls it all together — a richly painted border of fruit, floral roundels, and scrollwork, finished with a gilt inner line that gives the whole composition its frame.
Tucked inside every set, a little something for first time Tavola customers — a hand-finished vintage passport notebook. Note the piece, the moment, the person you gave it to. One day these pieces will sit in someone else's hands — and they'll know it came from yours.
