Ceramic Place Cards...This Week's Find

This week’s find is this sweet set of place cards. They are ceramic with lovely, delicate porcelain flowers in pink, yellow, and blue. As with so many things I have uncovered, I never remember my mother using these. That’s not to say that she didn’t, it’s just to say that I don’t recall if she did.

What these have me wondering, though, is whether or not people still use place cards?  I can actually envision myself using them, but I’m wondering what type of non-permanent marker would work on ceramic. If any of you have any suggestions or ideas, I would appreciate knowing.

To my great disadvantage, these are rather small, only about 2½ inches wide. To my further disadvantage, my hands are quite large, so I think it would be tricky for me to use these to write a name longer than three or four letters. Still, I will not be deterred! You can expect to see these at a table setting at some point in the future.
