Are you ever sitting around your table at a dinner party, looking at all of your guests' candlelit faces, and thinking "I wish there were more of me for them to look at?" Well, you're in luck: There's now a way to swath your fine Limoges porcelain in your own face-or anything else you fancy, for that matter.

At this year's Tabletop Market-a biannual showcase of what's new in dinnerware, glasses, flatware, and more-Poc a Poc presented an innovative, artful take on a classic medium. Hanging on one wall of Julia Watts's showroom was a multi-plate collage of none other than the tabletop maven's own face, hand-panted onto a suite of dinner, salad, and bread plates by Poc a Poc's Marc Pascual.

The artist, who hand paints all his products in St.-Estephe, France, also showcased examples of single faces on individual plates-a charming surprise, certainly, for any dinner guest upon finishing their meal.

If you haven't yet reached the level of self-love befitting a set of you-inspired dinnerware, fear not: Pascual can render virtually any photograph into plate form. Other options on display included a shot of Los Angeles's iconic palm trees rendered in a chic brown-and-white. But really, when given the opportunity for that level of customization, why not go big?
