Anyone who claims the eyes are the windows to the soul would do well to nose around in a butler's pantry or two. Turns out our shelves are brimming with beautiful "tells," patterns and porcelain craft that may hold intriguing secrets about the places we long for, characters in our memoirs, adventurous streaks we're still chasing down. What's more, the stories half-buried in our dinnerware choices, when revealed, can energize our tables like a seasoned raconteur, spinning tales of wonder and escape, monarchs and mystery. It is possible to find our inner gardener, globe-trotter, even hopeless romantic deep in the stacks of plates—what do your plates reveal?
