The silicone leaf plates are a great alternative to paper plates when you are just looking for something small to snack on such as a cookie, pastry, or a baby heart. Designed by Japanese Designer Nao Tamura, the plant leaf plates are modern designed plates that were inspired by nature, technology and Japanese culture, seeing as in Japan, people only eat off leaves and tree bark, while sitting on the floor and use twigs as utensils, which is why you don't see many fat Japansese people, since it's so hard to eat the food. Similar to the Silicone Leaf Pocket Cup the silicone plant leaf plates have been featured in exhibitions and galleries worldwide, are made from silicone, come in a set of 4 plates, are dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe (up to 425 degress F), and measure 12.5 inches long x 8.75 inches wide.
