Pop Ink Plates

When I first came across the Pop-Ink plates, I fell in love! Every plate would be a joy to be eating off. Especially the wallpaper print plates! (The design pictured is my favourite! I think it's meant to be, seeing that my blog header matches. I adore vintage wallpaper print.)

These genuine melamine, dishwasher safe plates are so much fun. From classy wallpaper prints to Geisha prints, they can be mixed and matched to give you a truly unique dining experience.

Whether you are looking for funky silhouettes or traditional floral prints, Pop Ink has you prepared for a banquet with some fun dinnerware.

Plates available at MrFrench.com
