20 Bizarre and Unique Plates

Plenty of cool plate designs and innovations have been featured by Trend Hunter writers.  There really isn't anything spectacular about plates themselves; it's what creative people have done with their basic design that makes them so interesting.

Edible plates, disaster plates and plates that measure your food are small, albeit fun innovations that make eating all the more enjoyable or disgusting, as is the case of the plate with veins. Ewwww!

Often people have a love for plates for decorative and collection purposes alone. Today's designer plates accommodate all obsessions from retro to insect-laden--no longer are we left to choose between dainty and daintier. Now you can even set your table with plates that feature painted breasts.

Whether you're in the market for a new place setting or just something to add a bit of pizazz to your kitchen walls, you're sure to find something to your liking below.
