Description
This small rectangular plate is stoneware, painted by hand with green leafy fronds that curl across its whole face from one end to the other. It measures 15cm long, 11.5cm wide and 2cm tall, with softly rounded corners and a low rim that rises gently from a flat base. That puts it below a typical side plate in size: the right size for a slice of cake, a pastry or a couple of biscuits, and easy to pass round the table. It weighs 0.276KG.
We see it on the kitchen table at breakfast, beside the teapot in the afternoon or on a drinks tray in the evening, holding olives, nuts, a wedge of cheese or a pat of butter. Because it does not crowd a table, one at each place works well for dessert or a spread of small dishes. Away from mealtimes it makes a neat tray for rings and earrings on a dressing table, or for keys by the front door. Anyone who likes a botanical touch, or who wants to bring some green to plain tableware, will find it an easy piece to mix with what they already own, and it makes a thoughtful small gift for a housewarming.
The leaves are painted by hand onto a solid glaze, and the brushwork shows in every loose stroke and fine outline. Looking after it is simple: it can go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven. Stoneware holds heat well, which suits a plate that can go from oven to table with a warm pastry. The styling props shown are not included. For a relaxed table, mix a few with plain plates, or prop one upright on a shelf so the leaves stay on show.
