Plate Trick

Plates with a design that creates unique 3-D optical illusions

The patterns on these plates are designed to create unique 3-D optical illusions. For example, when pieces of chocolates are set on this plate, the 3-D appearance of the table coordination will liven up the conversation. The reverse side is finished with an Ishime-nuri painting (fine-dot-perforation art) for added quality and functionality. Up to 3 of these plates can be placed on the same Trick series tray. The plates can be stored in the accompanying box.
