A perfect gift for the "star" in your life!

A traditional Inuit story says “stars are openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon those who remain to remind us they are happy”. Stars are a symbol of hope and joy. They send their light to us even though they are far, far away. 

The artwork for this Star plate was donated by artist Cassandra Ott to honor the memory of three Pittsburgh brothers and family friends who died from AIDS. Handmade in the USA.

Dishwasher safe.
