Description
Plate made from recycled misprinted packaging cardboard.
Long description
The underside of the plate is plain laminated cardboard but the upper side is printed with the packaging for 'MK' brand of tea. Much of the writing is in Russian and the tea is obviously meant for export to Russia. The sides of the plates are ruched to allow the plates to curve upwards and form a lip. [MdeA 3/3/2000]
