Lois is famous for her textured glaze and the unusual color combinations. There is a special tacile and visual quality to the plate. I enjoy eating out of this porcelain plate in front of the TV after a hectic day of work. I am sure the plate would look great in a formal dinner setting. My favorite color is the white glaze on turq - like a famous New York jewelery store, at where Audrey Hepburn ate breakfast. Another favorite is the white on white with platinum lustre rim.
