Gorgeous! (But I think figuring out exactly how long to cook the custard in a deeper cup might drive me batty).

At a time when weâre all wondering when we will again be able to gather friends for a meal, it is fun to pretend, maybe even plan for when we can.
We usually serve small bites in the living room before a dinner party. They fit nicely in a Chinese spoon or saki cup
Tartares, ceviches, custards and other fork or spoon foods take to antique French jam jars
The largest holds about 4 oz, the smallest just over a tablespoon

Best wishes and stay well.
And burning time when I should be doing something else. grin
Form over function is a mistake no matter how cute. French fries/chips in a miniature shopping cart is stupid. Flat things to serve wet things isnât very bright either. That doesnât mean there isnât room for creativity in presentation and some can enhance presentation, such as wood boards for charcuterie and cheese boards. Donât make me fight my food, donât increase waste.
The closest I have to unique is a nice hand made ceramic bowl with a steamer tower. You put on/over a pot of boiling water to steam and it goes straight to table. I use it for broccoli, cauliflower, dumplings, and such.
I have a Thai woven rice basket that is far from unique in Southeast Asia but gets attention here in the US.
A platter with divots for deviled eggs.
I like some whimsy in serving ware but there are a few things that are over the top (some doozies on that wewantplates site 
). I generally like the use of seafood, fruit or other natural shells and containers that had the original food. But anything that looks like it canât be easily cleaned and reused - read: unsanitary - makes me suspect. As a general rule of thumb, small food(s) on a giant-a$$ plate does not appeal to me.
I personally put zero touches on fancy presentation when I cook. My most unique serving ware is just leftover stuff from the 70s that I got from my mom, and those are more frightening than unique.
I love this.
Glad I did a search first as I was about to start a âbrand-newâ topic on interesting/unusual serving vessels

Unfortunately, itâs AI-created, which I should probably have noticed, at least on the second glance (not the 5th or 6th) 
Well, apparently someone is selling it on the Walmart site. Maybe itâs a total fraud, but maybe not.
And on Amazon. Two sizes and two models.
If I werenât in my downsizing phase, Iâd get oneâitâs very Cthulhuesque.

No reviews. Thatâs a hard no for me (unfortunately), but if any of yâall wanna go ahead and TOFTT⌠go for it!
I have clearly missed the boat. My cabinet is full of Pillivuyt and Apilco. I both cook in it and serve in it, lots of white. I have a few olive wood serving, sort of, items like a cheeseboard, but that is usually my outer limit. I have loads of blue and white Canton dinnerware and several large platters, all from my great grandmother. The dinnerware gets regular use, but the platters come out to be used very rarely.
