<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 10152421, member: 36"]That many staples means less poverty than someone absolutely loved that plate. Staple repairs were $$$ and it wasn't worth it to repair lesser porcelains or pottery. Cheaper to buy a new plate, by a lot. To me it means the plate meant something to whoever had the repair done that was worth more than the plate itself. It may have been meant to say Poverty in the film.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
