recently the lovely lisa congdon brought some grilled veggies to a dinner party i had here in a gorgeous cathrineholm bowl, i’m pretty surprised wasn’t stolen. either by me, or the other guests who were all coveting it. i just love, and apparently so does everyone else, the mid-century modern designs by the famous Norwegian designer Grete Korsmo Prytz-Kittelsen.

via seesaw vintage.

As one of the leading artists of the Scandinavian Design movement, Kittelsen received several awards in the 1950s for her cathrineholm enamel collection, including the lotus pattern. they’re bright, they’re simple and really happy looking to serve party food in. you can find them on ebay, and occasionally on esty vintage as well.

i’ve been hunting down a few pieces of my own, including this yellow casserole (above), and tea kettle (below).

since it’s friday food files day here on sfgirlbybay (thank you kindly, ms. watson!), i thought it might be kind of fun to share some vintage-inspired serving piece ideas with you. so very fresh from the sfgirlbybay flickr pool, i give you some glorious ways to serve up your weekend meals! doesn’t food always look better when it’s served in something stylish? oh, i think so, yes! thank you dear contributors – i am really loving our pool!
