Description
This is a pair of stoneware dinner plates, and the two are not twins: each carries its own design of stylised birds. One plate is covered edge to edge with large, flat-cut birds in flight, some plain and some picked out with fine dots and stripes, and a thin contrasting line runs round the rim. The other scatters small birds over a dense, fine-grained abstract ground and finishes with a border of small scallops at the edge. Both are multicoloured, and at 25cm across and 4cm tall they are a full dinner plate size, with a gently raised rim.
A 25cm plate takes a main course with room to spare, so these suit everyday dinners at the kitchen table as readily as a Sunday roast in the dining room. Because the designs differ, the pair works well for two people sharing a meal, giving each place setting its own character without anything looking mismatched. They are just as useful for a weekend lunch, a slice of cake with friends or cheese and fruit set out for guests. If you like a table that looks collected over time rather than bought in one go, two different bird designs side by side do that quietly.
Both plates are 100% stoneware, with the decoration applied as a decal across the face. Stoneware is fired hard and dense, and it holds heat well, which suits a plate that sees daily use. Care is straightforward: they go in the dishwasher and the microwave, and they can go in the oven too, so you can warm them before a hot meal reaches the table. For styling, set one at each side of a table for two, or stack each under a plain bowl so the birds still show around the rim.

Frequently Asked
What size are these plates?
Each plate is 25cm across and 4cm tall, which is a full dinner plate size, large enough for a main course.

No. The set of two holds one plate of each design: one covered in large birds in flight, the other with small birds over a fine abstract pattern and a scalloped border.
Can they go in the dishwasher, microwave and oven?
Yes to all three. The maker lists them for the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so they suit everyday use and warming before a meal.
What material are the plates?
They are made of 100% stoneware, and the bird decoration is applied as a decal across the face of each plate.
What is included?
You receive two stoneware dinner plates, one in each of the two bird designs. The styling props shown are not included.
