I purchased this plain white plate about 20 years ago in Singapore - from C.K. Tang's department store. They were such nice plates that I purchased 12 of them and carried them carefully all the way back to New Zealand. Jim (my husband of 53 years) thought I was crazy!
I found this last plate in my cupboard the other day, and what nicer way to paint it than using lustre, dark brown paint sponged on, and various techniques around the 8 sides. I love it, and I hope you enjoy looking it!
