Rejoice! If you have searched high and low for the bright green lettuce-leaf shaped dinnerware created by Dodie Thayer in Palm Beach in the sixties then you will be as thrilled as I am at the debut of her new collaboration with Tory Burch. Launching online today, her highly collectable original pottery designs, which would take up to two weeks to create, are now available in hand-painted ceramic stoneware that is dishwasher and microwave safe.  Including whimsical pieces that retain the artist's hand and realistic cabbage leaf look, this collaboration channels the heyday of Palm Beach playfulness and entertaining with abandon. Get your daily greens. 

Originally sold at Bon Goute, a Palm Beach gourmet shop, the designs caught fire with entertaining's grande dames, like C.Z. Guest and The Duchess of Windsor

Originally molded from lettuce leaves, the plates have a wonderful graphic sensibility that is eye-catching in a vivid spring green

The garden bounty in all its beauty

The pattern nested together makes a charming statement

Given its easy to use size, the canape plate, which comes in a set of 4 can serve as a dish on a side table or serving piece

The dinner plate comes in a set of 2

The salad plate, sold as a set of 4, seem to best represent the original clay creation

A generously sized salad bowl is just the thing for an al fresco lunch

Sold in a set of 2, the cup and saucer has the most detail, with a twisted handle and overlapping leaves
