Dinnerware has become an art form that has its place for today's bride. Hand-painted pottery, by talented artists, is available in abundance and design choices are many. Fish, flowers, animals, insects, patriotic, and seasonal themes are all available in addition to the traditional pattern styles of the past.

Shapes have changed. There are square, leaf-shaped, triangular and shell-shaped plates although the majority are still round shaped. Additionally, you will find little plates, big plates, bar plates and side plates.

Eclectic - a real mix and match - continues to be strong, bringing with it a lot of energy.

When you have selected the patterns that appeal to your sense of style, be certain to take some pieces home to see it in familiar surroundings. Enjoy the selections from the NBS Premier Partner galleries.
