Decorative Plates

From vibrant majolica to monochromatic delft ware, nothing serves up style like decorative vintage plates. With our near never-ending collection, you’re sure to find your match, be it delicate porcelain (for a tea time on the Thames feel) or ceramic oyster plates (perfect for capturing down-by-the-seashore vibes). Once you’ve decided on your plates, the real fun begins: putting them on display! Decorative plates can be stacked on open shelving, used solo as a catchall on a console, or hung on the wall as decorative wall plates. If you’re looking into decorative plates for hanging, first consider where you want to display your plates and how many you’ll need to fill the space. Oversized wall plates (like fish plates and roasters) can fill the space over a cooking range nicely, while an assembly of vintage wall plates can fill up an even larger wall, like the one behind a dining table or over a serving credenza. If you’ll be using several small decorative plates for wall display, it works best to keep them all in the same color family or material. For instance, all white dishware on a gray-painted wall? Or a collection of green majolica cabbage wear hung atop a chintz wallpaper? That’s perfection—plated!
