Thomas Paul has designed this melamine plate set around a sealife theme. The images above are not presented to scale. They are all shown large so you can see the detail. The set consists of dinner plates (top row - 11″), side plate (middle row - 9″) , and coaster set (bottom row - 4.5″). Each of the plate types is available in a set of four with prices ranging from $15-$36. Ships late October, which is a shame as this would be nice to use for late summer.
