Nora Fleming

Nora Fleming grew out of a paint-your-own pottery studio and is based in Hinsdale, Illinois. The idea is simple: stoneware, melamine and wood serving pieces that each hold a hand-painted mini, so one platter can change with every holiday, season and milestone.

The base pieces here include round platters, chip and dip sets, tasting boards, garnish dishes, canisters and a paper towel holder in the signature pinstripes. The minis are the collectible part: Christmas characters, fall harvest and Halloween pieces, birds, sports, garden and party themes, and plenty more. Start with one base piece and a few minis, then add one for every occasion; a mini on its own is an easy gift for someone who already has the set.
