Review: Dollnation Serving Plate by Jennifer Garant

I fell in love with Jennifer Garant's unique artwork about a year ago when I stumbled upon a note card collection of fat ladies in classy poses and classy clothing. Normally note cards are not something I personally would buy, but because the artwork was so deliciously adorable I had to have them.

A year later I stumbled across the exact artwork found in the note cards, being featured on serving plates! I grabbed up the entire collection and wanted to share with you why I think you too should pick them up as well.

The first being the Dollnation Serving Plate I found at Marshall's for only $2.99, is being sold online for $15.00. Basically these plates will rise in value over time, and become a collector's piece, just like the Fat Chef collection by Jennifer Garant.

What makes the Dollnation Serving Plate so adorable is of course the artwork on the plate. It features a large woman in a polka dot long coat, with a large crew of matching dalmatian dogs that she is walking.

The woman is peering right smack at you as if she was caught by a stranger in a photograph unaware that her photo was being taken.

The artwork is adorable, and is gives us an impression that big is beautiful, and Jennifer Garant pulls it off marvelously in her artwork.

The subject of the plate has a lovely matching polka dot border that matches the dalmatian theme going on. The plate itself is serving size, and is 8 inches in diameter.

It's meant to serve smaller finger foods such as pies, cakes, crackers, and anything else you could come up with. The plate itself is microwave and dishwasher safe.

I personally suggest you hang it from the wall though alongside the rest of the Fat Lady Serving Plates. The plates will only go up in value as they become more and more scarce, and believe me, they are adorable enough to sell out quickly.

The plate feature the artwork of Jennifer Garant, but the plate itself is made by Roscher.

Where To Buy:
 
Dollnation Serving Plate can be found at Marshall's for $2.99. If you cannot find it there though you can pick it up online at eBay for much more money (starting at $9.99), so definitely see if you can find it at Marshall's first.
