This super rare set of 8 Rosenthal plates features stunning portraits of drag queens by renowned photographer Martin Schoeller.
The set is an original production from 2021 using photographs Schoeller took at RuPaul\'s DragCon 2019. 6 of the 8 plates are limited to a production of 100 pieces. 2 are limited runs (meaning they are part of the series, but not numbered). The set is numbered 26 of 100.
It\'s rare to find these plates individually, let alone a full same numbered set.
NOTE: plates are in pristine condition. Storage boxes show some wear.
