You are right about the way they create wonderfully interesting positive / negative space. It's fun to sit here and study your shelves. They make great material for drawing practice. <br />We've lots of serving pieces in white and just a few pieces of vintage white ironstone. I'm always looking for pieces to bring home to extend our collection.
