I haven't much to say...

This morning I want to share a couple of pictures of dishes. The first one is an absolutely magnificent hand painted turkey platter...I would hate to use it and would probably just keep it as a decoration on a dining room side board.

I don't know what this pattern is and despite my very best efforts, I haven't been able to find it online. It's probably a vintage pattern that is no longer in production (damn) but isn't this gorgeous? I LOVE red & white tableware but I really ADORE red & white Christmas tableware!!
