I was inspired by old 50's post-deco plates to design some 'kitcheny' fruit patterns. I think these would make good designs for serving platters. I imagine a set of plain contrasting-coloured oval platters, each with one of the designs repeating around the edge. I especially like the pomegranate. I thought it would look interesting in black for a change. It would look great on a matt white or yellow glaze. They'd look good on coffee mugs too.
