Description
This is a grey stoneware dinner plate, 27cm across and 2.5cm tall, finished in a reactive glaze that gives the surface real depth. Fine speckles gather across the centre, and towards the rim they open into soft feathered strokes that radiate all the way round, finishing at a thin darker line on the edge. At 27cm it is a true dinner plate size, wide enough for a full main course with room left for the sides, and at 0.848KG it has a reassuring weight in the hand. Stoneware is fired hard and dense, which is why it takes daily use so well.
We like it for weeknight suppers at the kitchen table, Sunday roasts and dinner parties alike. The grey glaze is quiet enough to let the food take the lead, and the speckled, feathered surface keeps the table interesting even when the menu is simple. It sits happily alongside plain linen and wooden boards, so it suits a rustic farmhouse kitchen as much as a pared-back modern dining room. Because it is sold as a single plate, you can buy exactly the number your household needs, or add a few spares before guests arrive.
The plate is made from 100% stoneware, and the maker states it can go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven. In practice that means it goes straight into the dishwasher after dinner, a plate of leftovers can be reheated in the microwave without moving the food, and you can warm the plates in the oven before serving. Stoneware holds heat well, which makes warming the plates worthwhile. Reactive glazes move as they fire, so the speckling settles a little differently on each piece. For a layered place setting, put a smaller plate or a bowl on top and let the feathered rim frame it.
