Leaf Plates, retail value $22-$27 USD each

Good day friends, my giveaway continues with week 2 of 5. Today I’m giving away 2 sets of pressed leaf plates and once again there will be 2 winners, so get your name in the drawing! One set is a large with 2 small all white, and the other set is one white, one black small plates

These are made in pigmented porcelain with a clear glaze and real white gold leaf lining the edges. There is a special “luster” glaze that can be fired and has a high percentage of real gold in its make-up. Although it needs to be washed by hand, it’s pretty durable and safe for tabletop use.

To press these plates I used leaves from a Catalpa tree that I see on my daily walk with Lucy my Yorkie. I’ve always loved these giant leaves some of which are as big as 12” long, and last fall I brought some back to my studio to use for these plates.

The small plates are 8-1/4" long and the large are 10-1/4" long and I think they’re perfect as serving dishes, for breakfast or a snack and of course to adorn any surface.

In the coming weeks I’ll be giving away a mandala, little cups, some glaze paintings, more incense burners, and other miscellaneous to give thanks for all that this wonderful community has given me.

  • NOTE: Steemians with mailing addresses outside of the USA are welcome to enter, but you must be willing to help with 4 STEEM/SBD towards the shipping. I’m sorry about this but International shipping rates for a box from the US are just too much to handle on top of the item.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

While cute, this superfluous comment is considered to be spam, harms the blockchain, and is the reason why we will soon have to pay for comments like this with Resource Credits.
