This little Mountie plate is available for sale on Etsy. It is a souvenir of Canada, yet it is English china. In other words, it is made in England. It may seem more appropriate than you think, as in Canada, the royals and other English accoutrements are well regarded, even when during some historical errors, it was not the same in the States. We just had too many bad memories of that business.
Despite this info, it still had me wondering what I would use a tiny plate like this for. Would I get a tiny plate holder and display it? Knowing me I would probably use it to put my wasabi and soy sauce. I may even use it for change on a dresser. What about for a salt plate? I never seem to use things for their intended use. In this case, I am not really sure what the intended use is. Maybe all of the above is the intended use. Maybe it is for someone who wants to buy every china pattern, but can’t afford to buy every single one, so they just get a tiny plate of each.
What about you? What would you use this tiny plate thing for if you were to buy it, or if you do decide to buy it?
