Description
This deep plate is made of porcelain and measures 22cm across and 4.5cm tall, with a well that holds 850ml. That depth puts it between a dinner plate and a bowl. It is wide enough for a proper main course and deep enough for pasta, risotto, stew or a dressed salad that would slide off a flat plate. Sweeping blue leaf shapes curl round the edge in loose brushstrokes, broken by small dots, leaving the centre clear and the speckled surface on show. At 0.321KG it is light for its size, which helps when you are carrying several to the table at once.
We see it as an everyday plate for the kitchen table that is just as good for guests. It suits weekday suppers of curry and rice, bowls of soup, breakfast porridge or muesli, and shared dishes set in the middle of the table for everyone to help themselves. The blue pattern sits happily beside plain tableware as well as other painted pieces, so it works for a relaxed brunch or a long Sunday lunch, in a busy family kitchen or a small flat.
Porcelain is fired at a high temperature into a dense, hard body, which is why it stands up well to daily use. This plate goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm a portion of leftovers in it, bake a small gratin, then put it straight into the wash. For the table, let the blue brushwork lead: set it on a woven placemat or a bare wooden table, and keep napkins and glassware simple so the pattern holds the eye.
