Set a sophisticated spring table for the Easter and Mother's Day holidays using classic, durable whiteware serving pieces.

A fan of whiteware's delicate, clean appearance, Martha has been collecting the porcelain pieces for years. Here, she shares advice for using whiteware to give even the simplest spread a casually elegant aesthetic.

How to Set a
Whiteware Table

  • Stack cake stands to add height to your table display.
  • Use whiteware pieces with intriguing designs and patterns as a centerpiece.
  • Repurpose bread baskets into planters by lining them with moss and adding mini daffodils and variegated tulips.
  • Make whiteware platters pop by filling them with colorful lemon and raspberry curd or seasonal berries.
  • Pair dessert bowls with matching whiteware spoons to serve sauces and dips.

    Where can I get the dishes that serve the lemon and raspberry curds, strawberries and raspberries. These dishes look like the figural anemone set but the ones on the show have a raised base and the ones online are flat?
