Porcelain Tiger! serving plate Laitman Documentation Project for CraftWhat I love most about this vintage mid century porcelain tiger is the relationship between its body and its face: its body is long and sleek, but despite attempting to come off fierce, teeth bared, its face looks to me just like that of a big kitten!

I'd put it atop a stack of books
