WHY IT WORKS 
Equal parts useful and decorative, these are the kind of pieces that make a table feel collected rather than overly formal. The crisp white glaze keeps the look fresh, while the sculptural lion heads add an unexpected touch of character. Beautiful for serving soup, French onion soup or other small dishes — and equally good displayed on open shelving when not in use.
