And it’s so damn tiny too.

Just a side not of interest: This was made in Occupied Germany after WWII in the U.S. Zone. And when I say it’s small I mean it’s really small. Half normal size at least.

Found this tiny little hand-painted oval dish at a thrift store in Reno. Paid $5. The maker is ‘Schumann Bavaria - Germany US Zone’. Pattern name is ‘Chateau’. Found a comparable item online selling for over $40.
