Weird Design: Star Wars Dishes

Filed under: Fun Stuff, Design, etc, News & Trends

Star Wars dishes from Angela Rossi guarantee an out-of-this-world dining experience.

I'll admit I've never been the biggest Star Wars fan, but when I spotted these crazy Star Wars dishes at Oddity Central, I couldn't help but crave more information. A little investigation revealed Los Angeles-based artist Angela Rossi, the daughter of an antiques collector, creates these unusual pieces of porcelain using "orphaned and unloved antique plates."

Rossi sells these beauties in her Etsy shop for $25 to $75 a piece. While that may sound like a lot, it's a small price to pay for a collector's item, especially if you're looking for a gift for your Star Wars-fanatic brother. Plus, Rossi uses truly fine china: Yoda and the Nymphs (above), for example, is set on a flow blue plate.

Also in Rossi's shop? Cheeky tribute dinnerware for characters across the board (everyone from Pee-Wee Herman to The Bearded Lady!)

Hilarious! Have you spotted any quirky designs lately? If so, tweet us your favorites at twitter.com/shelterpop!
