Serving Pieces












Serving pieces for the Art of Dining
Serving pieces are the objects that bring food to the table and stay there for the whole meal: platters and dishes, serving bowls, sauce boats, cake stands and servers. Because they sit at the centre of the setting, they are often where a host introduces a contrast of material or colour. In porcelain, Raynaud and J.L. Coquet make serving pieces to accompany their Limoges dinner services, so a platter can match the plates or deliberately stand apart from them.
Silver brings another register. Ercuis, founded in 1867 in the Oise, north of Paris, made church silver before creating silverware for royal tables, while Georg Jensen, the Danish house founded in Copenhagen in 1904, is known for forms in which function and sculpture meet. Glass adds colour: Helle Mardahl's mouth-blown pieces, with their sweet-like shapes and glossy finish, belong to the same playful world as her Candy series. Mixing these materials on one table, porcelain for the main dishes, silver for bread and sauces, coloured glass for desserts, is one of the simplest ways to give a dinner its own character.
