Vajillistas is a visual history of 275 years of table setting fashion, featuring photographs of over 100 original service items ranging from Marie Antoinette-era porcelain to 1970s Duralex, the "degenerate" ceramics of interwar Germany, and the Art Deco coffee sets of flappers in the Roaring Twenties.


But it is also the story of the women who inspired, made, and enjoyed these tableware pieces, and how their vicissitudes ended up being reflected on the plate: Empresses of France, Hungarian potters accused of trying to assassinate Stalin, avant-garde painters, and Berlin cabaret dancers all parade through Vajillistas to tell us this story of fierce ladies and beautiful plates.
