What does one do with plates only about 2½ by 3½ inches in
size? I asked a few folks. Bill said, “Put sushi on them.” Pat said, “Keep my
rings on it overnight.” Molly’s response was to use it as a spoon rest, Doug’s
as a soap dish. Liz immediately envisioned her wee tray as a “tea bag cradle.” Jon
feeds his cat on one small Kahoka plate. He points out that he has two so that Little
Annie does not go hungry when one is in the dishwasher. He says this started
when he learned that cats don’t like eating out of bowls that force them to
bend their whiskers.
These little plates come in many colors and textures. Some
are a bit rounded, others nearly flat. They make great stocking stuffers and
inexpensive small gifts for the holidays. I started making them when someone requested
a couple dozen little plates last year. She covered them with holiday treats
and then plastic wrap, added a bow and a tag, and passed them out at her office
celebration. I love it when people use my pots (and little plates) creatively! There really is no
excuse for bent whiskers!
