I've picked up some nice white serving pieces from Portugal at Ross and Marshall's. Also, tons of platters and plates on the vintage market, of course. Estate sales etc.
Another vote for the Victorinox Forschner. I bought the Santoku version on Amazon, and it is honestly the only knife I use now. It's lightweight, easy to clean, and sharp as heck.
I love the coral with desserts and fruit, but a whole table of it is a little Easter parade. But Russel's Seafoam is so beautiful with just about any food, and white and brown dishes ... my wallet ...

Hummus (store bought or homemade), baby carrots, tortilla chips.
