Somewhere in my childhood I ate off large green lettuce leaf plates. I don’t remember at whose table I was sitting, but those plates are so vivid to me. I would love to get my hands on a few, and fill them with raspberries or radishes, or any other colour that looks great with green. It was Dodie Thayer, the Palm Beach pottery queen, who made them. They’re so peculiar looking, and so very fabulous, don’t you think?
