Part of Boscobel’s distinguished decorative arts collection, this service reveals how natural imagery infused elegance, refinement, and cultural aspiration into the rituals of dining in a new American nation. Through thoughtful interpretation and fresh insights, guests will gain a deeper appreciation of how landscapes not only adorned fine ceramics but also reflected ideals of taste, status, and connection to place.
