62 ART + DECORATION I n the 1960s, Palm Beach potter Dodie Thayer's Lettuce Ware canapé and luncheon plates, cups, and bowls were the rage and appeared on every hostess' table from Palm Beach to Amagansett. C. Z. Guest, the Duchess of Windsor, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis were avid collectors — and later, so was Tory Burch. Mining eBay for the originals turned up precious few, so Burch and Thayer collaborated to meticulously recreate the iconic green Lettuce Ware, launched as Dodie Thayer for Tory Burch in 2013. Now the Lettuce Ware is in vivid white, delicately cast in the same lettuce-leaf shapes, hand-finished and glazed in. Set of four canapé plates $88, set of two dinner plates $100, lettuce-ware pitcher $148, at the Tory Burch boutique, toryburch.com.

Through Saturday, May 6, his spring collection is on view in a pop-up at Mary Cates and Co. boutique on Lovers Lane. For the linens, pillows, napkins, tablecloths, and towels, Robshaw's muse was a recent trip to Mysore, India. While en route to Keshava Temple, he writes in his blog: "We drove through an old market town, marveling at a crumbling mansion by the side of the road, its brightly painted facade belying a faded grandeur. A fellow sat on the porch, quietly mending heaps of old gunnysacks. He let us open some, to find they were printed with fun, quirky logos and brands. Of course, we begged to buy a load of them, much to his amusement. Lovely faded linen pillows sprang to my mind." Mary Cates and Co., 5370 W. Lovers Lane, marycatesandco.com.
