The cabbage plate has a place for a tea cup. My mom has a set similar to it. The set is so ladies didn’t need to juggle both a cup and plate during a tea party when they weren’t sitting around a table.
It should have a matching teacup for it. If it's a lily pad rather than a cabbage leaf it will look like a lotus blossom. They are often called luncheon or tea plates.
Oh wow. So the first square plate was a shape popular in the 90s-00s. Back then I was an event planner and those were used in stations/buffets, etc. all the time. Memories unlocked!
So glad you are back! love seeing all of these different molds and how creative your ideas are! for platter 4 I immediately saw a lily pad. I think it would be cute if the bowl to go with it was a flower. Platter 11 made me think of putting a soup bowl/mug on it.
#11 - usually saucers that big are for a large soup mug, or a gravy server. #1 immediately reminds me of the square dish my gramma used to use for a fruit bowl. For #9, the frilliness of the edge makes me think of the ends of fancy goldfish tails!
while i was training to be a chef we were also taught how to do waiting and had big saucers like that for transporting multiple bowls for soup or cold dishes where the bowl had to be either frozen (cold dishes) or heated slightly in the oven (hot dishes like soup curry etc) they were usually made to be carried 2-3 at a time so you wouldn't have to have a towel or some other padding to disperse the temperature but that was 25-20 years ago
Square plates are really common for catering and buffet style big event tables. Square platters are easier to have for buffets because they take up less space than round platters. Ive seen all shapes and sizes of square and rectangle plates and platters used for events because square was so "In" for a while. The one square plate with the high sides would be perfect for something like a cold noodle salad platter.
Number 4 - you should look for a tea cup. That looks like a luncheon set. I have several that I've collected. It's a plate with a matching cup for coffee or tea.
I have a set of platters like #1, in plain white, I love them. The shape works better for a serving platter for something like Potatoes on Christmas :D
The cabbage looking plate with the place for a cup is what we refer to in the states as a luncheon set. Many times at such a gathering there not enough room at the table but you can balance a sandwich or some such with a cup of punch on a thigh and be ok. I have thought of getting me a set or two as since I retired it is only me for lunch and maybe my 7 year old grandson. I love the square plate/bowl I had a set in black a long time ago. I had a set in clear glass too and it was nice not having to have space for a plate and a bowl in the cabinet in a small kitchen. Though they were better for pasta dishes and soup but cereal they were too shallow for.
For platter#1 you could make it farm themed. Put a cute farm animal in the middle, draw a fence along the center square and add trees, farm houses and a blue sky on the rim? Kind of like in a picture book?
I love that square dish! That would be a really good chip and dip plate you could put a bowl in the middle for dip. I think that you could make each angular side its own scene of some sort like for example you could do different seasons for each side or you could divide it into triangles just follow the corners to the middle and now you have some triangular shapes it could be a really cool dish I would love that one
I like #1 for use as a bowl for pasta or salads! #3 would be nice for asparagus or celery as well! #4 reminds me of the snack sets that were so popular back in the 60’s/70’s so a small coffee cup would be very nice with it! #11 would be nice for a soup bowl!
Go glad you are back! Plate #1 - I see a table lettuce salad serving plate. One where the bowl of salad is set on the table pass to individuals. Maybe cute salad veggies on the inside.
I liked it too. I imagined a flower and grass coming up the 4 sides a profile type look. It's definitely a great salad bowl. But single serve for me lol.
The Lilly pad is so cute, I thought of oak leaves or cherry blossoms on the vein. Someone said make a frog cup for the cup place. It looks like what I call a buffet plate. We use them at buffets to grab snack and have a place to hold your beverage and then walk and mingle.
The deep plate that looks like an over-sized tea cup saucer would be great with an actual over-sized teacup! Imagine a huge "dainty" teacup set that you could keep as a decoration piece, OR eat cereal out of 😊
the square plate lends its self to adding a bee/ dragonfly and making a window scenes and the cabbage leaf could also be a water lily with frog/flower cup
I liked all 4 plates but I liked the first one. It is great for serving bread or such. I would also use it for a table center piece with a candle or such especially for holidays. The 4th plate would be a party plate with the indent for a cup. You could definitely put a flower arranging frog in it for a table center piece.
The first one is like one I made at a place that used to be near me. I painted a bamboo leaf in the center and the stem around the edge. It is great for anything with a bit of sauce as it looks nice with no drips. The one with the small circle is a luncheon plate, the circle is for a punch cup. The frilled edge ones would be sweet with a rim of color and center transfer or design. I’m excited to see you creating again. Cheers from the Midwest USA.
I love the first one. I think it would be fun to make it look like a picture frame. The Third one. The one you could see banana bread on. I wonder if it has a cover/cloche? Maybe and animal. Plate 4 the leaf. Looks to me like a lilly pad. It would be fun for a chip and dip or veggies and dip plate. The dip cup could be a frog. I love seeing you back.
I love that you want to give yourself enough time working on these. I see so many on youtube rushing their creations, and not getting to finish them as they wish - thats just sad in my mind. Of these plates, nr 1 sticks with me the most - and absolutely for a dinner plate in my kitchen. In clear, primary, simple colors- a full set with each sides in different colors, but the bottom of all in the same color perhaps :)
It will be interesting to see how they come out. You always do such cute ideas with your painting and glazing. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Plate 11 is definitely a saucer plate for soup, there is a restaurant near me that basically has the exact same plate and bowl set! Also 10 is giving more bow than crab 😅
Number 4 is part of a tea set or punch set. I have seen those exact plates painted like green cabbage leaves with matching delicate teacups in thrift stores. They do look more like nasturtium leaves though, but I haven't seen any painted like that.
The large frilly plate reminds me of a ceiling medallion. Love the sort of chantilly lace edge. Personally would do less rather than more. Do a selection of colours, pearlecent pink, mint green, pearl, etc., then do a gold edge.
My immediate reaction was fruitbowl. Then also thought at Christmas you could fill it with a big candle and ornaments, greenery to use as a centerpiece.
Love how you describe each plate and what you would us it for makes use look at each one and how we would use it for instead of your choice! Love the smaller luncheon size plates as that is how I serve our dinners now cut back on how much we eat or control how much we eat ! Love smaller oblong platters for serving cheese and crackers or pickles or sliced tomatoes doesn't take up a lot of table space ! Or cupboard space down sizing everything now since just retired at 70 and a widow so no need for so much now as a step mom of only one and live 4 hours away so life is quiet ! Repainting kitchen cupboards inside to help keep busy as winter has really come back in southern Ontario Canada live in the largest city on Lake Huron so 8 minutes to the lake which is freezing over this year about 60 % now which has not happened for a few years ! Cold but beautiful! The one thing is its gone by End of March ! Then back outside working in the gardens sit on the shore line at local yacht we are members of just dress warm on a sunny day in March with friends and family read a book or have couple drinks and snacks the lake is so blue my favorite spot ! Brings back great memories of me and my husband we went to the club almost everyday for a drive when he was well happy times!
I loved seeing the whale platter again! It was my favorite thing you have ever done in any of the videos I have watched. The bubbles complimented the whale so beautifully. I am so excited to see what brilliant designs you come up with for these lovely plates!!!!
#3 is my favourite serving platter shape. They’re great for cheese, loaf cakes, cookies, etc. I’d love to see it with vines of your Australian flowers. #12 is a lovely cake plate! I’d go with a frilly cake-inspired pattern
Yay! So glad to see you back! ❤❤ 1. You mentioned sea creatures. I'd love to see mermaids or kraken 2. The lettuce leaf you could paint as a flower and the dip bowl could be a lady bug or bee or beetle
the first one is great for a decorative plate. you can have a main focus in center and put smaller images that relate to center, on the sides. i can see like a cabin in center and around it can do flowers, animals, forest with sun peaking through etc. as a food plate, they are actually decent for pasta or things you need a bowl like shape without the bowl. i can see how its hard to fire but ive eaten with them before and it can be good.
I'd love to see the leaf plate with an added little butterfly or frog sitting on the edge. Or you could paint ladybugs on it. The big square one feels more like a serving dish than a plate to eat off of. With that shape you could fit a lot of those on a table. For the last one with the scalloped edge, I'm really feeling a gold rim would be cool on that.
I loooooooooooooooove your description of what's going on with each piece and the clay and what can happen with the kiln and heat and just all the details........I love it
Hear me out, Platter 4, make it a nasturtium leaf, and make little nasturtium flower bowls to go in the indent 😍 Also yeeesssss I love Platter 12! 🤩 Can't wait to see what you do with them all!
Maybe a tea cup could sit in the indent for a special morning or afternoon tea at a shady spot in the garden. Tea in the cup snacks on the plate. Allows for individual servings
The lettuce leaf looks like a vintage "snack" plate. You would have a small cup that sits in the round spot. It was to give you a system where you don't need a table.
Ooh, so many cool plates! There is such variety in even in something so mundane and ordinary. For the plates that stack well, it would be fun to have designs that tell a story or go together frok top down. So the first plat eon the stack starts the idea, and is finished by the plate underneath. It could be something natural, almost like lifting a log and seeing all the critters living underneath, or peeking into a home, or even a narrative that goes from one to the other! Looking forward to your creations! #11 looks like maybe a saucer for a bowl or pitcher, or maybe a plate that is good for a stew or soup where it has big chunks in it. So many of these plates remind me of super fancy plates in high end restaurants and cooking shows!
#8 is so pretty I want 12 of them. Also the animal plate is so cute, I like the details it would be so fun to paint. Sometimes it is nice to have a project already thought out and you just get to color and maybe add a few details. Your videos are always a joy. blessings!
I love the square angular one you don't like. It gives me an Asuan flair vibe. I could see it with a black base color, calligraphy in the gold leaf, and more caligraphy in a red color.
The cabbage shape one would be great as a lily pad and the the little bowl to go with it (as a chip and dip,set) could have a little frog on the bowl edge… it would look super cute!
The shape of number 7 reminds me of something we have here in Norway called a "trau". They are usually made out of wood, carved from a solid piece of wood, they're giant! Usually used for food or to bake in, also for feeding the livestock and so on , so I'd love to see you paint a wooden texture on it.
I love the leaf! Reminds me of a Lilly Pad, a nice little frog to hold tooth picks for the hors d'oeuvres/appatisers…would be a great alternative to a small cup or bowl.
Oh Shelby! The first plate was my ideal kitchen when I first got a house. Very popular in maybe in 2005's ish? So I bought a set of square plates and loved them. HOWEVER, they chipped like crazy, they were hard to store and I'd never get them again. I at first feel like oh it's so pretty but then the realistic side of me says never again lol
Plate 4 can be lily pad!!!! Then you can make a lily flower (like the ones you made for the duckies) and turn the lily flower into the dip cup. Or a cup for toothpicks for appetizers ❤
The cabbage leaf/lily pad serving plate would make a great soup and sandwich set, and could be so pretty if you paint the plate like a lily pad and the small soup bowl like the lily pad’s flower.
Platter 4 made me think of a luncheon like at a baby shower. The guest would have room for a sandwich and a side dish. Then a drink cup would fit in the recessed area. I too think it looks like a lily pad. A flower or a frog or both would look cute on top.
Platter 1 is meant to be a pasta plate...that's why it's so deep, platter 4 looks like a lilly pad so you could try a flower cup for dip to go with it, or a frog. Platter 6 would be a great souvenir hanging plate... just dig out a key hole hanger in the back.
the first one you tested looks like it'd be best as a serving dish like for mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, table salad, etc. Things that would do better in a bowl. its definitely meant for catering/big events.
A load of fancy restaurants use massive plates with very small areas for placing food (think a savoury mouse with scallop and caviar style dishes), some of these remind me of that style
Loving having you back. I see a lilly pad too for plate 4, I think it would be great for sushi with a bowl for soy sauce ❤. The two that you stacked together I think would make a great dinner set with a matching style of mug.
For Platter 1 I think you could do a terrarium vibe to it would I think be pretty and fun. With Platter #9 /frilly plate to do a ocean theme would be beautiful! have the center be the deep blue to a ocean foam at the frill. with platter 10 the crabs seem also a cute idea and with #12 I think a flower border would be pretty and a green center!
Platter 1 would be good for serving sides at gatherings such as vegetables, mashed potatoes, or even as a salad bowl. Platter 4 would look cute with a bowl shaped like a lotus flower as well. It looks more like a lily pad.
Number 7 reminds me of the relish trays with celery, carrots and olives on them at Thanksgiving. I love #12 and cant wait to see what you do with it. ❤❤
So happy to see you back! I don't know why, but the first thing I thought of #3 was "giant butter dish" 🤣🤣 I could see #4 being used for garden parties, or picnics.
I have a platter similar in shape to number 7, and it's a dish I use heaps. Mine is cream, decorated with black and orange-y red Art Deco shapes. Also love plate number 9, it looks like a great size.
The big plate at the end (I think #12) made me immediately think of a beautiful pie with crimped beautiful edges. I think it could be really cool glazed to look like a pretty fruit pie!
The cabbage plate has a place for a tea cup. My mom has a set similar to it. The set is so ladies didn’t need to juggle both a cup and plate during a tea party when they weren’t sitting around a table.
Sounds lovely.
came here to say this! i totally agree. it looks like a lily pad too.
we called them a server set. used for tea and cakes for luncheonette in the 70s
It should have a matching teacup for it. If it's a lily pad rather than a cabbage leaf it will look like a lotus blossom. They are often called luncheon or tea plates.
I came here to say this too! I also have some like this. Teacup/cookie plate
Platter 4 looks like a lily pad. Maybe you could add a frog where a cup would go.
That’s what I thought, a lily pad. I feel the cup would be the white flower you see on them.
As a large litly pond owner ..it's a lily pad. I have c used the pond for inspiration for oils, watercolors and acrylics.
omg maybe it could be a frog mug, that would be so cute
Or a little bowl that looks like a water lily
I agree! Or a lotus flower cup
Oh wow. So the first square plate was a shape popular in the 90s-00s. Back then I was an event planner and those were used in stations/buffets, etc. all the time. Memories unlocked!
Same! The moment I saw it, the millennial came flooding back to me.
It does look more like a serving platter to me, maybe for fruits?
So glad you are back! love seeing all of these different molds and how creative your ideas are! for platter 4 I immediately saw a lily pad. I think it would be cute if the bowl to go with it was a flower. Platter 11 made me think of putting a soup bowl/mug on it.
I saw a lily pad too, but thought frog!
I was thinking the exact same thing- lily pad and a flower!
That plate reminds me of my gramma's snack plates; you rest your cup and then can pick up a sandwich or eat a piece of cake. I loved those dishes.
i had the exact same reaction to these 2 molds!
Ditto. Liky pad for froggits and a soup bowl platter
#11 - usually saucers that big are for a large soup mug, or a gravy server. #1 immediately reminds me of the square dish my gramma used to use for a fruit bowl. For #9, the frilliness of the edge makes me think of the ends of fancy goldfish tails!
That’s what I was thinking also
while i was training to be a chef we were also taught how to do waiting and had big saucers like that for transporting multiple bowls for soup or cold dishes where the bowl had to be either frozen (cold dishes) or heated slightly in the oven (hot dishes like soup curry etc) they were usually made to be carried 2-3 at a time so you wouldn't have to have a towel or some other padding to disperse the temperature but that was 25-20 years ago
OMG I love that Aussie Bunch plate, it looks like an old coin, and like a bronzie glaze would work cool with it, like an old penny or something.
yesss omg like mayco's wrought iron over winterwood or something like that!
Square plates are really common for catering and buffet style big event tables. Square platters are easier to have for buffets because they take up less space than round platters. Ive seen all shapes and sizes of square and rectangle plates and platters used for events because square was so "In" for a while.

Number 4 - you should look for a tea cup. That looks like a luncheon set. I have several that I've collected. It's a plate with a matching cup for coffee or tea.
Plater 4- lily pad would be lovely. Plater 11 is a dip plate. Good for small bits of breads and a dip in the center. That is why it is so deep.
The square plate would be stunning painted with cherry blossoms and a little gold edging.
The square one could be use as a pasta dinner plate
I also thought Japanese minimalist design would be beautiful
The leafy one looks like a Lilipad to me. I think a small mug/bowl that looks like a flower would look really good!
That's a really great idea.
Or even a nasturtium
I have a set of platters like #1, in plain white, I love them. The shape works better for a serving platter for something like Potatoes on Christmas :D
Serving bowl for veg or salad.
The cabbage looking plate with the place for a cup is what we refer to in the states as a luncheon set. Many times at such a gathering there not enough room at the table but you can balance a sandwich or some such with a cup of punch on a thigh and be ok. I have thought of getting me a set or two as since I retired it is only me for lunch and maybe my 7 year old grandson. I love the square plate/bowl I had a set in black a long time ago. I had a set in clear glass too and it was nice not having to have space for a plate and a bowl in the cabinet in a small kitchen. Though they were better for pasta dishes and soup but cereal they were too shallow for.
I think a mandala pattern would be so neat on the last plate. And I LOVE the first dish btw 🤭
I love the first one too. Do many possibilities for a minimalist design or a geometric design like Picasso or Piet Mondrian
For platter#1 you could make it farm themed. Put a cute farm animal in the middle, draw a fence along the center square and add trees, farm houses and a blue sky on the rim? Kind of like in a picture book?
I love that square dish! That would be a really good chip and dip plate you could put a bowl in the middle for dip. I think that you could make each angular side its own scene of some sort like for example you could do different seasons for each side or you could divide it into triangles just follow the corners to the middle and now you have some triangular shapes it could be a really cool dish I would love that one
I like #1 for use as a bowl for pasta or salads!
#3 would be nice for asparagus or celery as well!
#4 reminds me of the snack sets that were so popular back in the 60’s/70’s so a small coffee cup would be very nice with it!
#11 would be nice for a soup bowl!
Number 7 makes me think of long veggies like asparagus
Go glad you are back!
Plate #1 - I see a table lettuce salad serving plate. One where the bowl of salad is set on the table pass to individuals. Maybe cute salad veggies on the inside.
I liked it too. I imagined a flower and grass coming up the 4 sides a profile type look. It's definitely a great salad bowl. But single serve for me lol.
The Lilly pad is so cute, I thought of oak leaves or cherry blossoms on the vein. Someone said make a frog cup for the cup place. It looks like what I call a buffet plate. We use them at buffets to grab snack and have a place to hold your beverage and then walk and mingle.
That first one could make a nice bee bath filled with marbles or pebbles & water
Shelby cpuld perch some bees on the edges!
4:33 I love using these types of plate/bowls for stews because it helps balance the amount of liquid with the solid pieces
The deep plate that looks like an over-sized tea cup saucer would be great with an actual over-sized teacup! Imagine a huge "dainty" teacup set that you could keep as a decoration piece, OR eat cereal out of 😊
Or big cup of soup in the center with your crackers or toasts arranged around it on the plate.
Wasn't there one in the mug video?
I like the idea of a teacup big enough to eat cereal out of.
Yes a breakfast set would be amazing for that plate!
The final platter would look amazing as a single giant peony or a similar flower with lots of petals in it!
I thought the same!
Love this idea --- other potential flowers : a single zinnia , Gerber daisy
the square plate lends its self to adding a bee/ dragonfly and making a window scenes and the cabbage leaf could also be a water lily with frog/flower cup
I liked all 4 plates but I liked the first one. It is great for serving bread or such. I would also use it for a table center piece with a candle or such especially for holidays.
The 4th plate would be a party plate with the indent for a cup. You could definitely put a flower arranging frog in it for a table center piece.
Plate 2 and 5 are a dinner set....salad plate and dinner plate.
The first one is like one I made at a place that used to be near me. I painted a bamboo leaf in the center and the stem around the edge. It is great for anything with a bit of sauce as it looks nice with no drips. The one with the small circle is a luncheon plate, the circle is for a punch cup. The frilled edge ones would be sweet with a rim of color and center transfer or design. I’m excited to see you creating again. Cheers from the Midwest USA.
I don’t know if I’d have an actual use for any of these but they’re very pretty! This series is always so fascinating 🥰
Plate Aussie Bunch would be a great tourist souvenir.
I LOVE modern look. So that first one was perfect for me. I'd suggest a modern look for it - solid primary color with an edging.
Ooo plate 4 could even be part of the fairy tea cup set (the one missing a saucer). Plate 4 could hold cakes for a high tea
Cute the handle off the cabbage cup and use for a dip cup.
The final scalloped plate is my favorite. It'll be so cute when you glaze it!
I like the shape of the first one. My mother has a tray that is that shape. She uses it for appetizers.
I love the first one. I think it would be fun to make it look like a picture frame.
The Third one. The one you could see banana bread on. I wonder if it has a cover/cloche? Maybe and animal.
Plate 4 the leaf. Looks to me like a lilly pad.
It would be fun for a chip and dip or veggies and dip plate. The dip cup could be a frog.
I love seeing you back.
I love that you want to give yourself enough time working on these. I see so many on youtube rushing their creations, and not getting to finish them as they wish - thats just sad in my mind.
Of these plates, nr 1 sticks with me the most - and absolutely for a dinner plate in my kitchen. In clear, primary, simple colors- a full set with each sides in different colors, but the bottom of all in the same color perhaps :)

Plate 11 is definitely a saucer plate for soup, there is a restaurant near me that basically has the exact same plate and bowl set! Also 10 is giving more bow than crab 😅
Definitely got bow from #10.
Number 4 is part of a tea set or punch set. I have seen those exact plates painted like green cabbage leaves with matching delicate teacups in thrift stores. They do look more like nasturtium leaves though, but I haven't seen any painted like that.
The leaf plate on the frilly plate would be an interesting stack.
Oh, the plate with the wheel thrown marks makes my heart sing ❤
11 can be a soup saucer, where you have a soup bowl in the middle and your bread around it. Curved up on the sides for in case you mess your soup
Last plate- Sunflower!!!
You could use the strange square bowl as a seafood shell holder. Paint lobster and shrimps in top hats 🎉
The large frilly plate reminds me of a ceiling medallion. Love the sort of chantilly lace edge. Personally would do less rather than more. Do a selection of colours, pearlecent pink, mint green, pearl, etc., then do a gold edge.
I like the first one. Fruit bowl, serving dish and even a key bowl like you said. Painted flowers and/or fruit wouldn't go amiss on that one. 🙂
My immediate reaction was fruitbowl. Then also thought at Christmas you could fill it with a big candle and ornaments, greenery to use as a centerpiece.
I love #1! Such clean lines. Definitely the perfect serving bowl for me!
We had the leaf shape set as a kid but was in glass. Loved those plates
Love how you describe each plate and what you would us it for makes use look at each one and how we would use it for instead of your choice! Love the smaller luncheon size plates as that is how I serve our dinners now cut back on how much we eat or control how much we eat ! Love smaller oblong platters for serving cheese and crackers or pickles or sliced tomatoes doesn't take up a lot of table space ! Or cupboard space down sizing everything now since just retired at 70 and a widow so no need for so much now as a step mom of only one and live 4 hours away so life is quiet ! Repainting kitchen cupboards inside to help keep busy as winter has really come back in southern Ontario Canada live in the largest city on Lake Huron so 8 minutes to the lake which is freezing over this year about 60 % now which has not happened for a few years ! Cold but beautiful! The one thing is its gone by End of March ! Then back outside working in the gardens sit on the shore line at local yacht we are members of just dress warm on a sunny day in March with friends and family read a book or have couple drinks and snacks the lake is so blue my favorite spot ! Brings back great memories of me and my husband we went to the club almost everyday for a drive when he was well happy times!
I loved seeing the whale platter again! It was my favorite thing you have ever done in any of the videos I have watched. The bubbles complimented the whale so beautifully. I am so excited to see what brilliant designs you come up with for these lovely plates!!!!
You could make the square one brightly coloured and put your fruit on it it has the depth to put quite a lot on it ❤😊
No. 11 maybe a serving dish with a bowl in the center for some kind of dip??
I think the scalloped platter would look lovely with the edge done in a lace or eyelet pattern.
#3 is my favourite serving platter shape. They’re great for cheese, loaf cakes, cookies, etc. I’d love to see it with vines of your Australian flowers.
#12 is a lovely cake plate! I’d go with a frilly cake-inspired pattern
Yay! So glad to see you back! ❤❤
1. You mentioned sea creatures. I'd love to see mermaids or kraken
2. The lettuce leaf you could paint as a flower and the dip bowl could be a lady bug or bee or beetle
No 11, maybe a saucer for a soup bowl? Something to put your crackers or bread on
Platter 12 would look cool as a doily
the first one is great for a decorative plate. you can have a main focus in center and put smaller images that relate to center, on the sides. i can see like a cabin in center and around it can do flowers, animals, forest with sun peaking through etc. as a food plate, they are actually decent for pasta or things you need a bowl like shape without the bowl. i can see how its hard to fire but ive eaten with them before and it can be good.
Omg! A collab with Tigga Mac for a cake to go with the platters would be so cool!!
This comment needs more likes!
I'd love to see the leaf plate with an added little butterfly or frog sitting on the edge. Or you could paint ladybugs on it. The big square one feels more like a serving dish than a plate to eat off of. With that shape you could fit a lot of those on a table.

I loooooooooooooooove your description of what's going on with each piece and the clay and what can happen with the kiln and heat and just all the details........I love it
Hear me out, Platter 4, make it a nasturtium leaf, and make little nasturtium flower bowls to go in the indent 😍
Also yeeesssss I love Platter 12! 🤩
Can't wait to see what you do with them all!
I waas thinking it looks like a water lily, it needs a frog.
Maybe a tea cup could sit in the indent for a special morning or afternoon tea at a shady spot in the garden. Tea in the cup snacks on the plate.
Allows for individual servings
I was thinking along the same lines with #4- a lily pad with a bowl that looks like a waterlily flower.
@@kathykrisko3228I immediately thought water lily too!
The lettuce leaf looks like a vintage "snack" plate. You would have a small cup that sits in the round spot. It was to give you a system where you don't need a table.
The square one would be a great decoration surface.! With a hole in the bottom it would be a great bonsai or cactus planter or moss planter
Ooh, so many cool plates! There is such variety in even in something so mundane and ordinary.
For the plates that stack well, it would be fun to have designs that tell a story or go together frok top down. So the first plat eon the stack starts the idea, and is finished by the plate underneath.

#11 looks like maybe a saucer for a bowl or pitcher, or maybe a plate that is good for a stew or soup where it has big chunks in it. So many of these plates remind me of super fancy plates in high end restaurants and cooking shows!
I would LOVE to see you collab with a cake maker with these plates/platters!!
#8 is so pretty I want 12 of them. Also the animal plate is so cute, I like the details it would be so fun to paint. Sometimes it is nice to have a project already thought out and you just get to color and maybe add a few details. Your videos are always a joy. blessings!
I love the square angular one you don't like. It gives me an Asuan flair vibe. I could see it with a black base color, calligraphy in the gold leaf, and more caligraphy in a red color.
My favorite was the last one as well.
The cabbage shape one would be great as a lily pad and the the little bowl to go with it (as a chip and dip,set) could have a little frog on the bowl edge… it would look super cute!
I’m so glad you’re back!! I’m from the US and needed this today very badly. Some joy 🎉
The shape of number 7 reminds me of something we have here in Norway called a "trau". They are usually made out of wood, carved from a solid piece of wood, they're giant! Usually used for food or to bake in, also for feeding the livestock and so on , so I'd love to see you paint a wooden texture on it.
#3 is giving fun-fetti with just a white backround. #4 would be stunning as an autumn leaf with oranges, reds, and yellow tones.
Platter #11...tea cup in the middle then cookies and treats around the big rim 😁
I love the leaf! Reminds me of a Lilly Pad, a nice little frog to hold tooth picks for the hors d'oeuvres/appatisers…would be a great alternative to a small cup or bowl.
I really, REALLY like the square plate....
Oh Shelby! The first plate was my ideal kitchen when I first got a house. Very popular in maybe in 2005's ish? So I bought a set of square plates and loved them. HOWEVER, they chipped like crazy, they were hard to store and I'd never get them again. I at first feel like oh it's so pretty but then the realistic side of me says never again lol
Plate 4 can be lily pad!!!! Then you can make a lily flower (like the ones you made for the duckies) and turn the lily flower into the dip cup. Or a cup for toothpicks for appetizers ❤
Platter 7, that cracked, reminds me of a bread plate my grandma had. It was for homemade oval shaped loaves.
The cabbage leaf/lily pad serving plate would make a great soup and sandwich set, and could be so pretty if you paint the plate like a lily pad and the small soup bowl like the lily pad’s flower.
I am over joyed you are back. I have missed your sweet happy voice. Happy in Alabama USA
Platter 4 made me think of a luncheon like at a baby shower. The guest would have room for a sandwich and a side dish. Then a drink cup would fit in the recessed area. I too think it looks like a lily pad. A flower or a frog or both would look cute on top.
Platter 1 is meant to be a pasta plate...that's why it's so deep, platter 4 looks like a lilly pad so you could try a flower cup for dip to go with it, or a frog. Platter 6 would be a great souvenir hanging plate... just dig out a key hole hanger in the back.
the first one you tested looks like it'd be best as a serving dish like for mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, table salad, etc. Things that would do better in a bowl. its definitely meant for catering/big events.
A load of fancy restaurants use massive plates with very small areas for placing food (think a savoury mouse with scallop and caviar style dishes), some of these remind me of that style
As you have a smaller version of number 9 it would look greate if you make a hole in the middle and put them together for a cake stand.
For the lettuce leaf one, you could join it with the lettuce tea cup you unmoulded a while ago and make a chip and dip platter!
For the cabbage leaf, you could make it a coral for pretty colours/sea life theme.
Loving having you back. I see a lilly pad too for plate 4, I think it would be great for sushi with a bowl for soy sauce ❤. The two that you stacked together I think would make a great dinner set with a matching style of mug.
Can’t wait to see these decorated ❤
#11 looks like a dish for a fancy individual dessert. I've seen them at restaurants where they use a minimalistic style for a mini cake or flan
For Platter 1 I think you could do a terrarium vibe to it would I think be pretty and fun.
With Platter #9 /frilly plate to do a ocean theme would be beautiful! have the center be the deep blue to a ocean foam at the frill.
with platter 10 the crabs seem also a cute idea and with #12 I think a flower border would be pretty and a green center!
Platter 1 would be good for serving sides at gatherings such as vegetables, mashed potatoes, or even as a salad bowl. Platter 4 would look cute with a bowl shaped like a lotus flower as well. It looks more like a lily pad.
Number 7 reminds me of the relish trays with celery, carrots and olives on them at Thanksgiving. I love #12 and cant wait to see what you do with it. ❤❤
Your videos simply make me happy! ❤
So happy to see you back! I don't know why, but the first thing I thought of #3 was "giant butter dish" 🤣🤣
I could see #4 being used for garden parties, or picnics.
I have a platter similar in shape to number 7, and it's a dish I use heaps. Mine is cream, decorated with black and orange-y red Art Deco shapes.
Also love plate number 9, it looks like a great size.
Platter 1 can be a glorious square-cut gem!
The nesting plates might be really cute as a 2tiered tidbit tray. Would be cute to serve tarts and cookies for tea
The big plate at the end (I think #12) made me immediately think of a beautiful pie with crimped beautiful edges. I think it could be really cool glazed to look like a pretty fruit pie!
your pots are so cute but your outfits are even cuter! i wish i knew where you found that dress!
