Tool To Designate Time

י"ח באלול תשס"ז

My bone china ritual plate (see here) is made by Mikasa (מכסא), making my bone china plate a plate through which "time is designated".

It was the only one the seller had. It was waiting for me to buy it. I knew it as soon as I saw it.

BTW, Moshiach must be coming because my religious mother, just as I am blogging this, walked in and brought me a gift - a brass mortar and pestle! It's looks to be a ceremonial set of some sort.
