I am a huge fan of Arthur Court designs. With roots dating back to seventies, Arthur Court and his wife Elena Orsini-Court, have turned serve ware into something fun. Bunny platters, Sunflower serve ware and even a special line for the Kentucky Derby.
I am not really sure what draws me to the fabulous Court line. I remember being dragged about a well known china and dec store in Beverly Hills one day. Waiting not so patiently for my mom and dad, I wandered from display to display, and then I fell upon the Arthur Court display. The silver work was nice, the display was beautiful but I loved the subject matter. I had never seen trays and platters that were fun!
The usual fare for serving platters and table ware is rather boring, unless you are going for a whimsical pottery line. Arthur Court designs offer a look of substance, a product of weight and durability but with whimsy. Bingo! Home run! Love it! Case in point, this fun California license plate platter ... California Dreamin....Great fun.
Fine gift retailers around the country represent the work of the Court family. Online retailers showcase a wide variety too. Horchow, Bloomingdale's and Macy's all over special designs. Visit a retailer of Arthur Court and ....enjoy!
