Inspired by the picturesque hamlet built for young queen Marie Antoinette at the Palace of Versailles, Michael Aram's Ivy & Oak Collection reflects the beauty of nature and the romance of rural living. Porcelain dinnerware is inspired by a milkmaid's bucket carried by the Queen. Serveware pieces, handcrafted of metal, marble and glass, are accented with winding cast ivy elements to create what the designer describes as a "balance between palace and country life."
