There seems to be a whole subset of dishware devoted to making us feel judged, or watched, or disapproved of, while we eat. And maybe I'm a masochist, but I'm kind of into it. Thus my affection for the Harrow Ladies Luncheon Club Plate Set, designed by Emma Houlston, who says:

"A series of plates inspired equally by meals with my gran and scenes of the immaculately dressed Harrow Ladies Luncheon Club as featured in John Betjamen' s Metroland (1970). Either follow their rules or flaunt a total lack of respect by eating your TV dinner off one of these porcelain beauties."

A series of sweet-but-stern older ladies, reminding you of all the cardinal rules of dining with others. What's not to love?

Lovelovelove those. ALMOST as much as I love this plate from Fishs Eddy that "intervention" phrases circling the rim: "Do you really need that second helping? It's hard to be around you when you eat like this. Please stop eating. We're worried about you. For the love of God, stop eating."
