The irregularities in each piece attest to their handmade nature, contributing to their unique charm. Within the design, you'll discover the artisan's initials and the Pairpoint trademark. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these cup plates serve various practical purposes. They can function as catchall dishes for organizing small items like keys or jewelry, or as ring dishes to securely hold your cherished treasures.
