6 ,plate soncinetr is ipped . It isp 2 " tall and 3 1/2 " across . Please see photos . I know that Japanese people actually eat from these tiny plates , I never could figure out what could be eaten from such a little tiny plate that couldn't even hold my regular serving of mashed potatoes . Of course I just bought it because I liked it even though I have absolutely no use for it and no where to display it . They're so cute though . Maybsomeone who knows what to eat from them will purchase .
