Overview

A globe-trotting, century-hopping celebration of dishes

As every great hostess knows, the right dinner plates bring design, color, and drama to the table and elevate an ordinary meal into something special. Dish is a visual celebration of these everyday pieces of art that have been the objects of desire of kings, queens, brides, chefs, and hostesses for centuries.From the first wooden trenchers of the Middle Ages to the seventeenth-century China trade, from twentieth-century designer wares to the colorful melamine plates so widely available today, more than 800 plates are on display here. With insightful descriptions and an expert’s knowledge, author Shax Riegler makes the case that the dinner plate is so much more than just a vessel to deliver food; it’s a piece of art to be admired.These are plates created by storied masters such as Spode and Wedgwood, modernists like Russel Wright and Homer Laughlin, and even today’s contemporary designers like Vera Wang and Diane von Furstenberg. Dish shows them in full color with large photographs, detail shots, and even back-of-the-plate photos, delivering a feast for the eyes for obsessive fans and casual admirers alike.With a timeline of plate highlights in history, sidebars showcasing the most popular designers, and a list of the top 100 patterns of all time, Dish will leave readers looking at the common dinner plate in a whole new way.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

Like other forms of everyday art, decorated dishes can be enjoyed even by anyone. This large-scale, well-conceived hardcover project presents a persuasive case that the dinner plate can be a piece of art that enriches our lives in ways that have nothing to do with nutrition. To make that case, he displays over 800 painted and decorated dishes from medieval wooden trenchers to the intricate designs of today. Among the pieces illustrated are the creations of Wedgewood, Spode, Russel Wright, Vera Wang and Diane von Furstenberg. The book's stunning full-color photographs, its sidebars, timeline, and master list of the top 100 patterns of all time make Dish valuable to both first-time fans and obsessive collectors.
