If you remember the 1970s then you'll remember chunky
orange dinnerware, with brown patterns on it. If not
then you should probably read a different idea, unless
your grandma still has some of it in her kitchen.
The proposal here is to print horoscope-style fortunes on
the plates, in glaze,
then fire them in a kiln and roll
them into fortune cookie shapes as you do so.
Then, when you go to your local, trendy, retro restaurant
you
are given a hideously ugly ceramic fortune cookie, at the
end
of the meal, which you have to break and put back
together
to read your horoscope/fortune.
This is not the age of Aquarius... in bed.

Makes you want to start smashing immediately, doesn't it? [UnaBubba, Jun 13 2012]

Interesting - I could do this quite easily if I knew how to fold a fortune cookie. I have about half a tonne of porcelain at home and two kilns. I don't have any brown or orange glazes though. Also, it would be best to write on the clay in oxides (e.g. iron or manganese) rather than glaze. Glaze doesn't stick to wet clay (and it would have to be wet in order to be foldable) and also any glazed surfaces which touch each other would stick together permanently on firing and you wouldn't be able to read the writing. |

//with brown patterns on it.//
We call it "gravy". |

Or at school mealtimes, 'custard'. |

We will bun this because we like the idea of
smashing ANYTHING even remotely
resembling // chunky orange dinnerware,
with bbrown patterns on it // on purely
aesthetic grounds. |

IIt's the sort of stuff that even Ferengi
