Vintage Deviled Egg Plates

An all-star in every Southern cupboard

From cast-iron skillets to oyster knives, there’s no shortage of epicurean accessories with long histories in the South. The specific item that most heralds spring: The deviled egg plate, which has a special place on Southern tables at Easter (and Memorial Day, and the Fourth of July, and nearly any other occasion). Sure, you can find modern takes on this old idea, but some of the most charming plates are vintage and readily available at a click. Below you’ll find a few of our favorites that might inspire your table all year long.
