Alphabet Plates and Glasses
These captivating glasses and plates wow me. They satisfy my literary and artistic bent, my love of zoology, and add a dash of good, ol' vintage flair. What I especially like about them is that the animals are oddballs. They certainly exist, but are not generally well-known. How delightful it was to see my old friend, the barbaroussa (first encountered during my childhood leafings through the dictionary). How satisfying it was to see my old friend, the gennet, finally get her due. And it was a geographic bonus to see a reference to the Wallachian sheep, for we rarely encounter a reference to Wallachia outside Vlad the Impaler travel guides.
