Shax Riegler’s “Dish: 813 Colorful, Wonderful Dinner Plates”

“Warning: this book may induce dish mania,” begins D-Crit instructor and House Beautiful editor Shax Riegler’s globe-trotting, century-hopping celebration of the art of the dinner plate. Published by Artisan Press, Dish: 813 Colorful, Wonderful Dinner Plates, is full of useful tips for collecting, repairing, and storing dishes – as well as a lively history of dishes from the 15th century to the present. From a look inside George and Martha Washington’s pantry, to an appendix of the 100 most popular patterns, “dish mania” is indeed hard to avoid.

Photographs in the book are by Robert Bean. The book is available through Amazon or where books are sold.
