Description
This is a stoneware side plate in blue, 18cm across and 2cm tall, and its pattern is what makes it. The blue is deepest at the rim and softens towards a light centre, where fine streaks fan outwards like the petals of a flower head, while a thin darker line traces the edge. The outline is round but gently irregular rather than machine-perfect, which gives the plate a relaxed, studio-pottery feel. It is made entirely of stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing clay body, and weighs 0.324KG.
At 18cm across it is a side plate size: right for toast and butter at breakfast, bread beside a bowl of soup, a slice of cake with afternoon tea or a small starter at a dinner party. On an everyday kitchen table it brings a soft wash of colour, and for guests it sits neatly on a larger dinner plate for a layered place setting. Its weathered look suits a rustic wooden table as much as a painted one, and it makes a thoughtful housewarming present for anyone who loves an easy, informal way of eating.
The plate is 100% stoneware, and its radiating pattern is applied as a printed transfer decoration. Looking after it is simple: it goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and it can go in the oven too, so you can warm it before serving a hot pudding or a slice of quiche. For a final styling note, set one at the top left of each place with a folded linen napkin, or stack it on a larger dinner plate and let the blue edges sit one inside the other.
