Description
This deep plate is made from stoneware, with a fine crackle running across its cream surface and a single fern leaf motif at the centre of the well. It measures 21cm across and 6cm tall, which places it somewhere between a plate and a bowl: wide enough for a generous main course, and deep enough to keep a sauce or a broth from running to the rim. The rim itself is not a perfect circle. It rises and dips gently around the edge, giving the plate a softer, less regular look than perfectly uniform tableware.
It is a natural fit for pasta, risotto, curries and stews, and for salads that need room to be tossed. It suits relaxed weekday suppers at the kitchen table as much as long weekend lunches with friends, and its cream colouring and botanical motif sit comfortably beside wooden boards, linen napkins and woven placemats. In the middle of the table it also works as a shallow serving dish for olives, warm bread or a side of roasted vegetables, so one plate can do two jobs in a single meal.
The plate is 100% stoneware and weighs 0.78KG, a reassuring weight in the hand. Stoneware is fired hard and dense, which makes it a sturdy material for everyday meals. It goes in the dishwasher, so clearing up after supper is easy, but it is not suitable for the microwave or the oven: heat food in another dish first, then serve it on this plate. For a layered table, set it on a larger flat plate or a woven placemat and keep the filling light, so the fern motif still shows at the edges of the well.
