Last week’s firing of Gary the Groundhog yielded some good pots, some not-so-good pots, and lots of information. But that’s another story. Today’s story: a nice little plate by Ryan Strobel. It didn’t quite survive the firing, but it’s a Good form with a pretty skin, so he gave it a quick sanding and sent it away with me. Yay!

Today I used my new plate to hold some lunch. My little avocado-egg-onion-salsa taco looked so pretty on the plate that I couldn’t resist a photo.

The plate is between eight and eight and a half inches across. It’s pretty flat, but there’s enough depth and breadth to hold and keep food. (That seems obvious, but if you’ve ever used a too-flat plate…) I like a good rimless plate and this one is a convenient size, so I have a feeling it will get a lot of use.
