Love Plates & Love Shakes Collection

Glass dishes with joie de “mange.”

When we first saw these dishes we thought: you just can’t have a bad day when you’re eating from plates like these. Eggs, cereal and yogurt...cottage cheese and fruit...salads...pasta...sandwiches and burgers...seafood and chops—if even the basics are glorified by the bright colors and polka dots of Love Shakes, think of what they do to more glamorous cuisine.

These gemlike, vibrantly colored plates are as pretty as art glass, but are hardy and durable glassware made in Germany by a 140 year old, family-owned glass company Walther-Glas GmbH & Co. The molten glass is dropped into a mold, then pressed into shape. After cooling, the polka dots are painted; then the color is literally burned into the glass. Finally, each piece is covered with a protective coating to guard against scratching.

The Love Plates are made in 26 solid colors and the polka-dot Love Shakes in five dotty combos. They are available in all standard plate and bowl sizes; and they mix and match, enabling you to create luscious mixes to complement your decor.

Change a color, remove a polka dot, and your table setting will change from fun and energetic to cool and elegant...as you can see in the photo below.

The dishes also complement the company’s Ginger Kelly clear, hand-blown glass collection (with polka dots).

These high-quality glass dishes are dishwasher safe using mild/non-abrasive detergent. (Hand washing is recommended for the more delicate polka dot Love Shakes, which have been hand painted. They can go into the dishwasher, but hand washing will extend their life.) The Love Plates are microwaveable for rewarming only. Cooking in the microwave with the Love Plates is not recommended.
