I loved the patterned porcelain at one of the shops near our serviced apartment in Shanghai. They offered really modern, interesting patterns including a burnout lace pattern, a faux dip-dye, a collections of thin lines, as well as coral motifs. I really adore that small pitcher in the center of the photograph.

Looking for some extra Thanksgiving platters to plate up the turkey this year? I love Frances Palmer's porcelain platters, which come in a nice selection of pastels, although I'd probably just opt for the simplicity of white.

Pretty garden chimes in shell, driftwood, and porcelain. I wonder what each one would sound like?

I am loving my little porcelain fruit carton from Roost. These bone china baskets are perfect for displaying all kinds of berries for easy rinsing and eating, which is more than I can say about their paper carton cousins. Find them here.

Russel Wright was certainly ahead of his time—creating and marketing a range of lifestyle products with an overarching brand persona. His line included casual tableware, furniture, and home décor to suit the needs of the modern American lifestyle from the 1920s well into the '60s. Russel and his wife Mary coined an "easy living" philosophy that was simple, "good informal living substitutes a little headwork for a lot of legwork. It doesn't need wealth, but it does take thought, some ingenuity and resourcefulness, and more than a little loving care to create a home that is really your own." For more.

His dinnerware lines are full of playful color and mix well with other modern pottery collections. I'm thinking that they'd look splendid with a few of my MUD Australia pieces.

I would love to have pieces by Royal Copenhagen one day—the company has a long-standing history and employs traditional methods to make traditional shapes, but with the addition of the modern twists in the nooks and crannies of each piece by designers like Louise Campbell, these pieces of porcelain are just spectacular.

Looking at all of the lovely crockery reminds me of when A and I went to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and saw some really lovely blue patterned Delftware on display. Delftware was manufactured in the Netherlands from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries and flourished after the Dutch East India Company brought pieces of Chinese porcelain back to Delft for all to admire.
