Special commission for a birthday surprise. Colours had to be purple and green so father & son scoured the op shops for pieces I could use and voila! They delivered an fabulous square plate that became the fractured centrepiece, a purple mug that yielded a handle (which they requested... 'must have a handle!') and some grape & green plates for the rest. A pure 'pique assiette' piece. Pique assiette is French for 'plate scrounger' and is used to describe the art of using broken plates for mosaics.
