Celebrate A State
From sea to shining sea and every spot in between, the Made in the USA goods from Fish Kiss® celebrate each state in the union with original artwork. Their state map plates, platters, and prints capture a state’s highlights in charming illustrations.
Maker Anne Klein creates the state-centric scenes on art prints, and on platters and dishes made with ThermoSāf® polymer. This durable material is microwave-safe and BPA- and melamine-free. Her whimsical illustrations have a quirky, retro vibe that sweetly capture a state’s highlights, like its birds and flag, or tourist attractions and historical landmarks.
Anne worked as a designer before turning her focus to capturing the people and places she loves—like her native Colorado (aka "The Centennial State"), where the prints are made—to every great state across the country.

Hello everyone! I'm proud to introduce Fish Kiss prints and platters to The Grommet. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have!

I notice you seem to have every state but North Dakota! Is that by accident or design?

7/3/2017 10:50 AM@Jeff Hi Jeff! It's definitely not by design. It's taken me over 2 years to create all of the state art that you see on The Grommet and I'm in the process of drawing both North Dakota and Alaska. As soon as I'm finished, I will have them posted on The Grommet. One fun thing to note - I post all of my first drafts of my state map art to Fish Kiss' social media platforms so that customers like yourself can inform the design. I should have North Dakota done in the next month. If you follow us on Instagram or Facebook @fishkissbrand you'll be able to weigh in on the design - I'd love your feedback.

7/3/2017 10:53 AMHi Anne, we have a friend moving from Georgia to Pennsylvania. Are you able to include two small states with a line connecting them on one platter?

7/3/2017 11:00 AM@Daryll Hi Daryll - I love that idea! We don't have that option available yet, but I can definitely keep it in mind and try to work on something to offer The Grommet in the near future.

7/3/2017 10:55 AMThese are such great ideas! I can't wait for Christmas for my in-laws who are hard to buy for! They do a lot of traveling and have favorite spots and this will make such a nice gift for them. Thank you for creating these!

7/3/2017 11:26 AMHi Linda,
Any chance for Cape Cod? We have a Air BnB...great gift to give to renters. A maller plate would be even better.
Thanx,
Nancy

7/3/2017 11:34 AM@Nancy Hi Nancy - YES! I definitely plan to draw Cape Cod, Nantucket, Block Island, and many other favorite destinations. I'll be sure to update The Grommet with new adds so you can be informed once it's available. Don't hesitate to also follow Fish Kiss on Instagram and Facebook @fishkissbrand so you can inform the rough draft I post of Cape Cod once it's ready. Cheers!

7/3/2017 12:53 PMHey Anne - Jeff beat me to the North Dakota question - seemed too weird to be a personal state slight but... Glad to know it's coming! I'm a "North Difornian" (ND + CA) and am always on the lookout for things that celebrate my roots.
Anne – Special Guest
7/3/2017 1:03 PM@Deborah Hi Deborah - Yes, definitely not a slight - North Dakota is a beautiful state! I love that - "North Difornian" - ha! Please keep an eye out, it's definitely coming. ;)

7/3/2017 1:41 PMMy son is a marine I would like a plate for every state they have lived in so far. Virginia, California, Florida, Montana(state of origin), North Carolina and overseas Okinawa , Japan. Is this possible ? I thought it would be fun for my grandsons.
Anne – Special Guest
7/3/2017 2:09 PM@Colleen Hi Colleen - please thank your son for his service for me. All of the locations are available except for Japan. One day, I'd like to offer countries too. Happy 4th to you and your son!
