Description
These side plates are made of stoneware and sold as a set of four, each one 20.5cm across and 2.5cm tall. That is the size for toast at breakfast, a slice of cake in the afternoon or bread beside a dinner plate, and their low height means they take little room on a cupboard shelf. The surface is covered in a multicoloured floral pattern of trailing branches, open blooms and buds, with a small bird perched among the leaves near the centre, and a thin line traces the rim of each plate.
They suit everyday breakfasts and teatime as much as a table laid for guests. Put one beside each dinner plate for bread and butter, use them for starters, cheese or dessert, or bring them out with the teapot for scones and sandwiches. The pattern has a country garden feel that sits well in a farmhouse kitchen, a conservatory or a breakfast room, and four plates cover a small household or a table for four. They also make a thoughtful housewarming gift or a present for anyone who loves a floral table.
Each plate is 100% stoneware, with the pattern applied as a decal. Stoneware is fired hard and dense, which is why it stands up well to daily use. The plates go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm them before serving or reheat a slice of pie without reaching for a second dish. The styling props shown are not included. Let the busy pattern lead: lay it against plain linen and simple cutlery, or pair it with solid-coloured dinner plates so the floral reads as the accent on a laid table.
