Carla Geometric Stoneware Side Plates Set of 3 - Multi

These are three round, multicoloured side plates in stoneware, each 20cm across and 3cm tall, and each carrying its own fine geometric pattern in a different colourway. A grid of small dotted motifs runs edge to edge across the face, and a thin line in a contrasting shade traces the rim, so the three sit together as a family without being identical. At 20cm they are side plate size, right for toast, cake, a sandwich or a starter, and a step down from a dinner plate. The 3cm height gives a shallow profile with a gently raised edge.

Put them out at breakfast for toast and pastries, at lunch beside a bowl of soup, or at the end of a meal for dessert. They look as good on a kitchen dresser or open shelf as they do on the table: stacked or propped upright at the back of a shelf, the patterns read well. Because each plate differs, they mix easily with plain dinnerware and with other patterned pieces, and they make a cheerful gift for someone setting up a first kitchen. Three suit a small household well, and they are handy for laying out cakes and biscuits when friends visit.

The pattern is a decal print finished with handpainted details, laid over a stoneware body. Stoneware is fired at high temperature, which makes it dense and hard-wearing, a good material for plates in daily use. Care is simple: they go in the dishwasher and the microwave, and they go in the oven too, so you can warm them before serving. For styling, we like all three stacked in mixed order so each rim line shows, or give each person a different pattern and set each one on a plain dinner plate for a layered table.

What size are these side plates?

Each plate is 20cm across and 3cm tall, the usual side plate size for toast, cake, sandwiches, starters and desserts, and smaller than a dinner plate.

Can the plates go in the dishwasher and the microwave?

Yes. They go in the dishwasher and in the microwave, so everyday washing up and reheating a plate of food are both straightforward.

Can I put them in the oven?

Yes, they go in the oven, which is handy for warming the plates before serving or keeping food warm until everyone is seated.

What material are the plates?

They are 100% stoneware, with a decal print pattern finished with handpainted details. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, which suits plates in everyday use.

Are all three plates the same?

No. All three share the same round shape and fine geometric grid, but each comes in a different colourway with its own contrasting rim line.

What is included?

You receive three plates, each with its own geometric pattern and contrasting rim line. The styling props shown are not included.
