Platters are great because they can play so many different roles. Serve on a large platter with a variety of cheeses, cold meats, and preserves for a leisurely lunch, or serve pasta on a large platter for easy serving at family dinners. Plates also make great centerpieces for dining and coffee tables. Pack brightly colored fruit for grabbing and adds an organic touch to the room.

Trays are another good thing to keep in the pantry. Use them as a beautiful tea towel surface to serve drinks and coffee, or use them for dinner before a movie for a cozy evening.

Condiments deserve the royal treatment, too, and the condiment set does just that – the perfect size to match ingredients to take ketchup and mayonnaise from sauce to sophistication.
