More Love Plate Set No. 1

$68.00

Could it be that the Transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau, who was famous for self-reliance and living alone, actually longed for love and connection? In July 1839, just five days after meeting Ellen Sewall, a smitten Thoreau wrote in his journal, "There is no remedy for love but to love more.”

For this set of two plates, one is inscribed with the word more and the other with the word love. Rearrange them on your table depending on whether you’re in the mood for more love or to love more. Each plate features a dogwood blossom design to honor the five of seven flowering dogwood species Thoreau observed on Walden Pond between 1845-1847 that have disappeared from the landscape because of warming temperatures. 

This work is dishwasher safe, but prefers to be washed by hand. Each plate measures 8” in diameter.
