Here at yay retro! we have a great selection of serving dishes and tureens from the 1960s and 70s. From Poole Pottery, Meakin and Lord Nelson Potteries, we choose dishes which make a statement in your kitchen or at your dinner table.

Here are some great ways to use your serving dishes:

• Use as an eye catching ornament in your kitchen, dining room or lounge
• Serve a green salad or homemade coleslaw - the lid will keep insects away on a sunny day
• Serve a fruit salad
• Warm your dish through gently in a low oven, or a bowl of hot water, then serve vegetables at your dinner party
• Store your bits and bobs in it!
• Allow meat to defrost in your dish - the lid will keep it clean and safe
• After gently warming through, serve your main meal at the table
