Amazon.com Review: What could be more perfect for an American Thanksgiving than dinnerware featuring a turkey? Spode's Woodland Turkey brings the plump bird to the table on high-quality earthenware, tinted in the browns and russets of fall. The center of each of these four rimmed soup plates shows the turkey in a natural setting, depicted in full color, while the border is comprised of Spode's 19th-century British Flowers pattern in brown-on-white. Rimmed for easy carrying, the nine-inch shallow bowls are ideal for not only turkey-rice soup, but a generous individual salad or pasta serving.
To augment Woodland Turkey place settings, fanciful turkey-shaped serving dishes and salt-and-pepper shakers, as well as square plates and other items, are available separately. Spode, long one of England's most renowned potteries, makes the earthenware durable enough for everyday dishwasher and microwave use, ensuring many happy autumn meals, year after year. --Ann Bieri
