Collectible Kitchen Plates -- There's Something For Everyone!
One of the popular pastimes of people today is to invest in collectibles. Just about anything can become the focus of your collection -- and collectible kitchen plates are very popular choices. Whether you're an experienced collector, or just a beginner collector, here's a taste of some of the different types of collectible kitchen plates that are available right now --
One very unusual item is the "New Wave" triangular plate. This is a part of the Villeroy and Botch line of kitchenware, which also includes New Wave bowls, saucers, mugs and cups. This lovely collectible kitchen plate is shaped somewhat like a serving of pie, is made from vitrified porcelain and is approximately 8 1/2" in size. For convenience it is both dishwasher-safe and can also be used in a microwave. The New Wave triangular plate also has a rather substantial lip around the edges, which would make it difficult to tip over -- making it ideal for use with children.
Another beautiful offering is a glass flower duet square collectible kitchen plate, one of many innovative designs by Peggy Karr. This very popular collectable kitchen plate retails for around $50, is microwavable and dishwasher-safe. It is 10 inches square and would complement any table setting. It is, however, made from untempered glass so it should not be used in an oven or to serve hot foods. But for serving salads, desserts, vegetables and dips it would be wonderful -- the face of this collectable plate features a beautiful floral arrangement pattern in any minimalist style, set against a checkerboard design.
If your house is filled with kids, then you shouldn't miss another offering by Peggy Karr -- her 8-inch birthday plate. This collectable kitchen plate incorporates a cheerful Happy Birthday slogan, along with a party hat, confetti and streamers on the face of the plate. This collectible kitchen plate would be perfect for any children's birthday party. Like other Peggy Karr items, this collectable kitchen plate is microwavable and is dishwasher-safe. Peggy Karr also makes a collectible kitchen plate in an 11-inch size with a very similar design. Perhaps you are looking for something a bit more formal? Then you might want to check out some of the offerings by Royal Albert. For example, the Royal Albert "Rose Cameo" is an 8-inch collectible kitchen plate which features a very delicate floral design incorporating a cameo motif -- this kitchenware is sure to enhance any kitchen dining experience; harkening back to a bygone Victorian era, you'll be transported back in time to a more elegant vision of the way things were. So, whether you have a younger family with kids, are more mature -- or anywhere in between -- you're sure to be able to find collectible kitchen plates in a size, design motif and price range that are just right!
