There is another bat platter by John Derian, named the Human Bat Platter. Personally, not my cup of tea, haha! 



Back to my bat platter ... Inspired by the enchanting world of nature and meticulously crafted by skilled artisans, this exquisite platter is a true masterpiece of design. And honestly, I'm not even a fan of bats, but this platter has such a unique and captivating illustration, so I decided to collect it. 



Adorned with a captivating illustration of a bat in flight, hand-painted with intricate detail, each platter is a unique work of art that adds a touch of magic to any table setting or display. 



The platter measures 400 x 255 x 40mm. 



Made from high-quality ceramic, the platter boasts a smooth, glazed finish that enhances its beauty while ensuring durability and longevity.
