Missing bits

I've always thought I'd like a set of these Fornasetti Adam plates ever since I watched an interview of Lynne Franks, the inspiration for Edina in Absolutely Fabulous. The interviewer, Adrian Chiles accidentally broke one of the plates, presumably in the melee of people and camera equipment whilst filming at Franks's flat. Her new found serenity from her New Age lifestyle was sorely tested. But having seen how much these plates cost, I am really not that surprised.

I much prefer the way the plates are hung in the first picture, rather than the splayed leg effect (for Adam), in the second. Both variations would require painstaking measuring to get the best display, and then as Franks learned to her cost, hang them somewhere that is unlikely to be brushed by a passerby.

Otherwise you end up with even more missing bits.
