These mussels look great! May I have a question? Where did you buy that serving dish? I love it 🙂

Thank you! I do love to collect dish-ware and most everything on here is from a thrift store, including this piece. It does not have a label on it but I believe it may be a vintage Bordallo Pinheiro fish tureen. I hope that helps!
