Description
These are side plates in stoneware, sold as a set of four, each 20.5cm across and 2cm tall. Around a plain centre, a wide rim is painted with pink stripes divided by fine lines, and a cluster of berries and leaves runs along the top of the rim, embossed so that the fruit stands proud of the surface. At 20.5cm, they are a true side plate size: big enough for a slice of cake, toast at breakfast or a starter, and small enough to sit beside a dinner plate without crowding the place setting. We like that the raised fruit gives each plate something to feel under your fingers as well as see.
They suit the kitchen table every day and come out just as happily for afternoon tea, a birthday or a weekend brunch with friends. Serve cupcakes, a handful of fresh berries, a croissant or cheese and crackers, and the plain centre leaves room for the food while the rim does the decorating. Four plates cover a small household or a table of guests, and they look cheerful propped on a dresser or an open kitchen shelf between meals. They also make a thoughtful present for someone setting up a first home.
Each plate is stoneware, and stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic that suits everyday use. The decoration is embossed and painted by hand, so the stripes show the brushwork rather than the flat print of a transfer. Care is simple: they go in the dishwasher and in the microwave, which makes warming a slice of pie quick, but they are not for the oven. The styling props shown are not included. To style them, set the pink stripes against plain dinner plates and simple linen, or mix them with patterned pieces you already own for a relaxed, layered table.

Frequently Asked
What size are these side plates?
Each plate is 20.5cm across and 2cm tall, a side plate size that suits cake, toast, a starter or a sandwich at lunch.
Can they go in the dishwasher and the microwave?
Yes to both. The maker lists them as suitable for the dishwasher and the microwave, so everyday washing and quick reheating are no trouble.
Can I put them in the oven?
No. The maker states they are not for oven use, so keep them for serving and use an ovenproof dish for anything that needs baking or warming in the oven.
What material are the plates?
They are 100% stoneware, with a decoration that is embossed and painted by hand, so the berries and leaves are raised from the rim.
How many plates come in the set?
You receive four plates in the same design, each with the pink striped rim and the embossed berry cluster, enough for a small household or a table of guests.
