Wobbly Glass Plates

My new wobbly glass plates come in lots of colours.  Each is hand drawn with enamel and sifted with translucent glass powder with a touch of opal powder in the centre.  Slumped onto my hand made bisque formers making them not possible to stack.  Perfect to display an alternative starter or simply display!
