These plates are fantastic! Pearl wrote to me today about Pearl Bell, her collection of classy lady plates, cups, and saucers and I knew I had to feature them. I love that feeling, when designers write to me and the moment I click on their link I get butterflies. It's so exciting to come across interesting work, so thank you Pearl.

She'll soon be expanding her tableware collection to include animals (like the little owl you see above), but for now it's all about the ladies! Even though you can dine on these, I'd prefer hanging them on a wall as art, but that's just me. My favorites are the mostly white plates... And I love seeing fashion illustration on ceramics. Thank you Pearl for your submission, your work is really tops!
