Hi Sevilla, these pieces, with the accompanying picture is inspirational, inspiration can be found everywhere and in everything, it's a case of tapping into and creating the form, which you've done so well here, not just pears, but boxes at that.. like them very much.
It is a school we all follow, as it is to copy a form, usually from the Natura Morte... it's something which has been made/done before... yet, we place our twist on that form.
Now for the platter ... be bold .. go big .. test that outboard.. but at your own pace.. just how big will the Vicmarc let you go.
Cheers for sharing your inspiration. David
