Porcelain Salad Plate

I am a salad plate. Ok, I know, I look tough on the outside, and I agree that this ceasar looks delicious, but watch out when you poke those croutons! I have feelings too, ya know!

Curator's Notes 

Meals can taste significantly better when served on the right dinnerware. Often, white surfaces can be the perfect backdrop to highlight a delicious meal. We love the Jicon porcelain dinnerware pieces for this exact reason. Beautifully crafted, distinct yet subtle, but most importantly, never distracting. We're also crazy about the antique rim.
