An Arachnid's Answer To The Sevres Question.

This is an exquisite porcelain plate made by Sevres.


This is an exquisite plate woven from gossamer threads by a garden spider.


The first plate is fit for purpose- you can eat your dinner off it. The spider's web is fit for purpose- you can eat your dinner off it but additionally you can catch your dinner in it and then store it. I personally don't know of any other dinner plates that also act as supermarket cum larder. I know which one impresses me more.

    Lakeland could be missing a trick there!
