So I got started collecting these plates by accident. I was at a flea market and got a stack of them for a dollar. I knew they were something relating to french. I found out more and found a couple here and there- yes, in Chicago. I don't really know much about them except the price in the middle is what the customer was to pay for a serving of absinthe. I like the way they look "spilled" across my kitchen wall. Martha Stewart had them in her magazine a couple of years back, one of her "people" collected them- referred to them also as "tip plates' . I really can't find too much info about them and why some are quite valuable. I have seen reproductions at P.O.S.H here in Chicago.
