Anyone Want to do Some Sleuthing?

ThinkingOutLoud — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 21:34:29 GMT

I was gifted a set of 4 appetizer plates that I will never use and it's not something I would give someone else so I'd like to exchange them. The back says AmericanAtelier and they're similar to the pict below except in all caps and with a period. White, round, 6.5" diameter - SNACK. NOSH. NIBBLE. ENJOY.

I uploaded a picture of your plates and the description into ChatGPT. Here's what it told me.

📌 Notes & Tips

Your exact SNACK. NOSH. NIBBLE. plates seem to be older/possibly discontinued pieces — not commonly stocked new by mainstream retailers.
American Atelier dinnerware does appear on big sites like Amazon, Target, Walmart, and specialty shops, but specific word-plates are often only found on resale marketplaces like eBay, Mercari, Etsy, and Poshmark.
You can keep an eye on eBay and Mercari searches for those exact word plates, since listings show up sporadically (e.g., other 6.5″ American Atelier small plates).

@ThinkingOutLoud. It sounds like you may be donating them.

@ThinkingOutLoud - I think they're adorable! They look just like something from a company I like, Mud Pie. Good luck!

I love to use these for slices of Mrs. P's apples, peanut butter crackers, cookies and other snacks.

I would choose "graze" for a pure pasta dish, and "Savor" a steak oe meat dish with veggie. Yep.

That was a brand sold by Bed, Bath & Beyond.

Were they a re-gift to you?

I would repurpose them for use other than snacks dishes.

I would put one as an insulation base under a burning candle, or under flowerpots, or as a new cat dish, or for slicing tomatoes or onions. Or just use as a cupboard or wall display.

I can't imagine a company doing that without proof of purchase.

@ThinkingOutLoudI think these are absolutely adorable! So many possibilities for these to use for parties, funny decor and like the other person said for flower pots tray, candle tray, pet food etc.

I would donate them to a non-profit "thrift". The Humane Society, or a church-run one is where I drop off stuff (and I usually leave with more than I took in).

There's an American Atelier.com website.

They aren't showing these plates. I did fine them on Amazon but they are unavailable.. possibly discontinued pieces.

As already stated, I would donate them to a thrift store if you won't ever use.

Re: Anyone Want to do Some Sleuthing?

faeriemoon — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 16:14:29 GMT

I would donate them or place them under a plant.

Zhills — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 16:26:16 GMT

That is my suggestion. Or under a candle!

I would probably relegate them to be under houseplants, my orphan saucers and small plates end up there.

Maybe I’m missing something, but how would you exchange without a purchase receipt?

@bikerbabe - I don't see trying to go through the trouble of exchanging them without a receipt too.
