Macabre Halloween Dishes

Give Your Guests a Spooky Surprise with This Gloomy Skull Plate

— September 23, 2013 — Art & Design
Get into the spirit of Halloween and serve your guests food upon a morbid black skull plate by Williams-Sonoma! You'll have them in for a scare as they finish their food only to find a skeletal face at the bottom.

The set includes four large plates that feature a bony cranium with gouged out eyes that are ideal for holding a variety of treats and appetizers. Don't let the smooth plate surface fool you, these plates are hand cast from durable stoneware then glazed in graphite gray with slightly distressed details. This high quality product is microwaveable and safe to go into the dishwasher -- so cleaning up will be a chilly breeze.

Halloween is just around the corner and this year you'll want to be the first to deliver the ultimate scare. A skull plate like this is just the beginning.
