When I'm trying out a new design, I often test it first on a small plate. Some designs get repeated, others were a fun test on a functional piece I use all over -- under wine bottles, to hold spoons, to serve chocolates or a small brownie, when I dry out peppercorns, you know....everything! I learn most of what I need from the creation, so now that I have enough small plates in my home, you have a chance to snag a useful, extremely custom piece for a great price.
 
Bud plate #1 has two tiny leaves budding into something amazing -- you can almost feel the outward radiance they emanate.
 
Bud plate #2 started off a bit leggy, but is then grew into smoothly unfolding, regal leaves.
