I am a poor drawer and artist and perhaps poorer at music. To tell the truth I do not know which one of these I am poorer in. If we include dancing then of course that would be my poorest. And being poor in the arts is no reflection on being able to appreciate the arts however. Below is a reference site to the Royal Copenhagen factory itself. It is the 3-leaf chrysanthemum design that I seek. Please try to search for a big round plate to see the design in full. One picture shows a woman artist drawing the design on her hand. http://www.royalcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/search/musselmalet/ Another page from this site says it takes up wards of approx 2,000 brush strokes for the design pattern. I wonder how many bytes would a computer take in order to match the pattern. What I am curious about is whether a computer linked to a Rubbermaid plastics factory can somehow create the design either on the surface or inside the plastic.
