There’s elegance, and then there’s this. TheRC MONBIJOU Porcelain Dish & S&T RS Germany Bowl (Lot 0345)brings old-world refinement to your modern spread. You don’t just serve with it—you make a damn statement.

Delicate fluted edges. Dreamy florals. The kind of craftsmanship that whispers of white-gloved dinner parties in turn-of-the-century salons.

It’s the perfect mix of usable art and conversation fuel. Set it down, and just wait—guests will lean in closer, fingers hovering, afraid to touch something that looks like it came from royalty.

Don’t wait. These pieces don’t stick around.

PYREX USA Vintage Glass Serving Bowl White

This one’s for the minimalist with taste. The PYREX USA Vintage Glass Serving Bowl White (Lot 0371) is a clean, crisp design that pairs with anything—seriously, this bowl plays well in any decor, from modern farmhouse to sleek industrial loft.

But don’t be fooled by its simplicity. That soft white glass? That’s vintage Pyrex. It holds the stories of mid-century kitchens and Sunday potlucks. Durable, heat-friendly, and unapologetically retro.

Perfect for big leafy salads, vibrant fruit medleys, or pasta that needs room to breathe. When you place this on the table, you’re anchoring the whole vibe. You’re saying, I care about quality. I know what I’m doing. And I serve with intention.

One glance, and you’ll wonder how you ever hosted without it.

T&V FRANCE Ornate Porc Pedestaled Bowl

Now this… this is drama. In the best way.

The T&V FRANCE Ornate Porc Pedestaled Bowl (Lot 0375) is what you use when the occasion needs a centerpiece. Think fresh-cut peonies in spring. Think rich apple crisps or elevated fruit displays in fall. It stands tall and proud, a pedestal for whatever glory you place within.

The ornate detailing, hand-painted edges, and bold form make it feel like something you stole from a 19th-century Parisian chateau. It doesn't just match your space—it elevates it. Place it on a wood dining table, a marble kitchen island, or a glass credenza and let the whispers of French luxury do their thing.

This piece makes hosting feel like theater. And you? You’re the director.

LEFTON Hand Painted Ceramic Turkey Serving Dish

Holiday hosting? Consider yourself armed.

The LEFTON Hand Painted Ceramic Turkey Serving Dish (Lot 0370) is pure nostalgia, with a side of handcrafted brilliance. Rich autumn tones. Realistic detailing. That unmistakable vintage Lefton finish. This platter is a statement piece—and it brings back memories with every use.

But here’s the trick: it’s not just for turkey. Use it to serve roasted veggies, piled-high sandwiches, or even as a base for a charcuterie setup. When not in use? Mount it or prop it on a hutch. It’s functional and ornamental.

If you’re the kind of host who plans every detail from tablecloth to centerpiece, this is your hero piece. It screams tradition, with a wink of whimsy.

Cobalt Blue Art Glass Divided Leaf Dish

This one’s electric. The Cobalt Blue Art Glass Divided Leaf Dish (Lot 0358) catches the light like stained glass on a cathedral window. Deep, oceanic blue. Leaf-shaped with thoughtful divisions—perfect for olives, nuts, chocolates, or even condiments.

It’s an instant mood piece.

Great for cocktail parties, brunch spreads, or that one friend who always asks “where did you get this?” It pops on wood, marble, or linen. It contrasts beautifully with warm lighting or candle flicker.

You don’t just serve food in this dish—you serve up an experience.
