Working with the artist Theodore Russell Davis, Lucy set- tled on a design motif shockingly differ- ent from the staid patterns of her predeces- sors…oyster platters with porcelain half shells rimmed in gold and resting on a tan- gle of seaweed.” The presidential interest sparked a sen- sation that resulted in Limoges and Havi- land porcelain firms producing a uni- verse of fancifully painted platters to meet worldwide demand. Today these collectors’ items are being whisked out of dusty cabi- nets and put to immediate use by 21st cen- tury enthusiasts. M odern-made oyster platters seem to favor smooth lines and natu- ral materials. At Scales Restau- rant on Custom House Wharf, efficient wait- staff scoop crushed ice into a shallow groove that runs the length of the long polished-con- crete bar. Deft-fingered, they shuck the fresh oysters and present them delicately perched on the ice in their half shell, pulsing sea wa- ter through translucent flesh.
