You don’t need a calendar to recognize the first signs of spring. Friends with a sudden devotion to nature begin making plans to convene in parks; TurboTax becomes your closest email companion; your risk of injury at the hands of a lunatic on a City Bike, haunted by the memory of a New Year’s resolution to exercise, may increase. At some point, imagery of pastel rabbits and neon-yellow marshmallow critters will appear everywhere. No, you’re not in a Zyrtec-induced hallucination. You’re in America. And it’s Easter.
Whether you’re celebrating the holiday for religious reasons, planning a family get-together, or just welcoming any excuse to throw a springtime fête, the advent of a new season is always something to toast to. Why not do so with some new tabletop pieces? There’s a whole world of alabaster eggs and garden-themed dinnerware out there—no pastel rabbits need make the guest list.

Delicate embroidered lace and antique-like pewter pieces ground what is sure to be an elevated brunch spread; if you’re the kind of person for whom the words “ramp frittata” spark heart flutters, this stoneware serving stand is right for you.
