Description
This is a stoneware side plate in cream, 20.5cm across and 3cm tall, with a cluster of raised cherries and their leaves sitting proud of the rim. The fruit is modelled in relief rather than printed flat, so it catches the light and gives the plate real depth on the table. Tiny painted dots are scattered around the rim, and the decoration is handpainted, applied with a brush rather than a transfer. At 0.53KG it has a reassuring weight in the hand without being heavy.
At 20.5cm across, this is a side plate size: right for toast at breakfast, a slice of cake in the afternoon, bread with dinner or a few biscuits with a pot of tea. The centre well stays plain, so food has a clear space and the cherries frame it from the edge. It suits a cottage kitchen, a summer table in the garden or a cheerful children's tea party, and it makes a sweet gift for anyone who loves fruit on their tableware. Between meals it earns its place on an open shelf or a plate rack, where the raised fruit reads well from across the room.
The plate is 100% stoneware, a dense clay body fired hard, which gives it a solid, sturdy feel in everyday use. It goes in the dishwasher and in the microwave, so clearing up after breakfast and warming a slice of pie are both straightforward. It should not go in the oven. For a layered place setting, set it on a larger plain dinner plate with a folded linen napkin, or prop it upright on a shelf among cream pottery, where the cherries can take centre stage.
