Description
These are four stoneware side plates, each 20.5cm across and 2cm tall, with a scalloped rim that ripples gently around the edge like a pie crust. The finish is handpainted, and every plate carries its own design of flowers, sprigs and leaves set in a ring near the rim, leaving the centre clear. The four designs differ, from open flowers to slim leafy sprigs, so the plates read as a family rather than four copies. The cream stoneware has a fine speckle through it, which gives the whole set a soft, country kitchen look.
At 20.5cm across, these are a true side plate size: right for toast and butter at breakfast, a slice of cake with afternoon tea, bread beside a bowl of soup or a small starter at dinner. At 2cm tall they sit low on the table and stack neatly in a cupboard. Four plates suit a small household laying the table for everyone, or a couple who host friends, and the mixed designs make a relaxed setting for a weekend brunch or a garden lunch.
They are 100% stoneware, a dense ceramic that feels solid in the hand and takes everyday use well. Care is simple: they go in the dishwasher, and they can also go in the microwave and the oven, so warming a plate before serving or reheating a slice of quiche means no swapping dishes. Because each plate is painted by hand, small differences in the brushwork are part of its character. For styling, keep all four stacked on an open shelf between meals, where the scalloped, painted rims show off the speckled cream stoneware.
