Jo in Australia:
I'd quite like a big platter for serving antipasto. I'd like one that had ripples rather than deep divisions... so that it would look good even if there wasn't a lot of food on it, but the different flavours would be kept separate. Colour-wise I think it could be a bit adventurous because a serving plate can be more of a feature than the plates you eat off.
I love the idea of it having Monart colours... or WMF... or... :)

Bill — I have two suggestions.
1. Washupability.
We have several badly designed items in our kitchen that cause us considerable aggravation as they are impossible to leave to dry without producing limescale rings somewhere. Whatever you design, I suggest that you test it on a flat surface and a draining rack to see if you can place it in such a way that all the rinsing water drains off it. If you can't, I suggest you redesign it.
2. Retail v. Catering Suppliers.
I have little confidence in the ability of the great British public to choose tableware, and I am sure that applies to the public in many other countries. Accordingly I suggest you initially ignore retailers and concentrate on commercial catering trade suppliers for basic shape and size ideas. At least you can be sure that these designs actually work!
You can then add your own individual design and style to the basics.
I hope that helps.

But that's far better than no response at all Peter! :lol:

First, Bill has to take each idea, which gets put as a heading, with a list of pro's and con's for each, in order to weigh up it's validity, then he is going to need a large sheet of paper and some coloured crayons to make diagrams, with the ideas in boxes, and arrows pointing between them in order to make sense of it all. It's called brainstorming. I'm sure very useful information will come out of it all. Not only that, but it's really good fun to do! :D
More ideas are needed!!
Frank:
How about square straight sided bowls in the form of interlocking jigsaw puzzle pieces with variations, 3 prongs - 1 hole, 2 prongs - 2 holes, ditto prongs at right angles, 3 holes 1 prong, 4 holes... etc.
Then a wall bracket with two downward pointing prongs and an up hole.
The bowls are then hung from the bracket and you can always take one off without disturbing the others. Sell as sets of six with bracket.
Each a different colour and it is up to the purchaser to use as a sculpture or serving bowls :D
