The Plaque

A tall plaque with stepped corners and a raised border. A spoon runs down one side with a tomato and leaves at its foot, and the recipe fills the field in the handwriting it was written in, with the title at the head and the signature at the end.

Craftsmanship

Electroformed metal over a sculpted form, finished in antique brass. The writing, the spoon and the tomato stand off a dark textured ground at more than one height, so the piece reads as modeled rather than stamped. The metal is bonded to the surface rather than painted or plated, so there is nothing on it to chip, flake or peel.

Sealed under a UV-protective finish. It suits a kitchen wall and wipes clean.

Personalization

Photograph the recipe card flat, in daylight, with all four edges in frame, and we follow the handwriting exactly, abbreviations and all. Stains and creases are fine; we work from what is there. Or type a title and up to six lines, and they are set in the lettering shown. A design preview comes back by email, and once you approve it the piece leaves the workshop in five to seven business days.

Mounting

Three ways, chosen at checkout.

Keyhole slots: two screws in the wall, and it lifts off whenever you want to move it.
Peel-and-stick tape: sealed strips already on the back. Needs a smooth, clean, dry surface.
Floating stud mount: threaded studs stand it clear of the wall, so a shadow falls underneath.
