Figure B
From blue-and-white transfer ware platters to mix-and-match pot lids, country serving pieces are pretty enough to display. Mary Emmerling offers a cabinet full of ideas for showcasing these functional and decorative pieces.
  • Mix-and-match platters can be arranged by shades of white or similar shapes (figure A).
  • Display platters backwards to show off interesting old potter's marks.
  • Showcase a collection of ironstone lids above a doorway (figure B).
  • Antique pot lids from old roasting pans can make striking country statements.
