The tradition of setting a Thanksgiving table with fine English transferware depicting the holiday bird or other pastoral scenes is almost as old as Abraham Lincoln's proclamation of an official Thanksgiving Day — established in 1863. In the aesthetic tradition of these transfer-printed pieces, Juliska's Country Estate Serving Platter recalls the charm of English country life in a decal hand-painted by designer Deborah Sears and applied to hardy stoneware. Perfect for your Thanksgiving bird. (Looking for early Christmas inspo? Check out Juliska’s Country Estate Winter Frolic collection.) Zieben-Mare, Franklin. Ziebenmare.com.
