Grey Kingsnake Paper Party Plate

$14.00

A grey kingsnake, banded in soft brown, winds across a cream plate with a fine dark rim. Reproduced from a 19th-century engraving, it is the most understated of the four snakes and the easiest to mix into a table. Available in 9″ dinner and 7″ salad or dessert sizes.

The Design

The kingsnake is the quiet one: a soft grey body broken by brown saddles, drawn with the patient accuracy of a 19th-century specimen plate. Its muted palette is what makes it useful, reading as texture more than shock, so it grounds the brighter snakes the way a neutral grounds a bouquet.

The Object

Printed full-color on durable, food-safe paper, in a 9″ dinner and a 7″ salad or dessert size, sold in packs of eight. Use it as the neutral in a mixed snake table, or lean into its earth tones alongside the Les Classiques Drab, Olive, or Terracotta.

I found these snakes in a stack of 19th-century natural-history plates and could not resist putting them on a table. They are my favorite kind of Halloween: strange, a little beautiful, and not a cartoon in sight.
