a very interesting woman from SanDiego came by our shop a few weeks ago. She’s a potter and brought the most unusual pieces..she rolls actual leaves into her dishes and creates the veins and life of the leaves right into her plates. They are gorgeous, and, food safe. Yes, you can eat from them or put a candle in them and just admire the flicker. The “leaf dishes” come in all colors, shapes and sizes. I think they would look fabulous laid out on a buffet table down the middle with an assortment of cheeses, french bread and a great red wine.
And, by the way, even the worst red wine tastes great in a beautiful glass. Marion
