The Gribsby Plate

The Gribsby Plate was a collaboration between Anatole Gribsby and Italian illustrator Emanuele Caponera, who created the loving and humorous image.

The plate was six inches in diameter and came in a limited edition of 1,000. Each plate had a numbered, signed certificate.

The plate was manufactured in Stoke on Trent.

It was accorded the honour of being first prize in the London Fetish Fair raffle.

Artist's Statement

“The Gribsby Plate is not an anti-establishment gesture. It is an expression of my belief that the way ahead for humanity lies in the loving marriage of the male and female energies. The British monarchy is a focus of joy and love for the whole world, and a Royal wedding is a time for us to experience that joy in an excitingly erotic way.

Of course the plate is irreverent, in the best best British tradition. This is why I have called it an 'anal-ternative' souvenir. Laughter is essential to emotional balance. But my irreverence is underpinned by a profound belief in the orderliness of life and a respect for marriage as an ancient sacrament.

My congratulations go to beautiful Wills and Kate, together with my sincere wish that they find lasting pleasure and nurture in each other’s bodies.”
