Puzzling Piecemeal Plate Portrayals

Plate Murals by Molly Hatch are Fabulous

— May 18, 2012 — Lifestyle
Dinner plates are commonly thought of as uniform, consistent and of a matching kind, but plate murals by Molly Hatch have changed this conventional assumption. These plates are part of a bigger picture, literally. Each plate can be thought of as a singular puzzle piece that fits into a larger puzzle. Apart from each other, these tableware accessories resemble your ordinary dinner plates, but when added together, they become murals depicting a variety of scenarios.

The images that are displayed on this delicate dishware consist of historical images from prominent museums all over the world. They're sure to be a hit with art historians, art-intrigued individuals and can act as a great conversation piece. Despite the fact that these pieces are displayed in museums and art exhibits, they would make a darling addition to your dining room and/or plate collection.
