{"product_id":"hezha-stoneware-plate-blue","title":"Hezha Stoneware Plate - Blue","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a small stoneware plate, painted by hand, with a bird in flight at its centre. The bird flies across a fine ground of trailing leaves and little flowers in blue, and a deep blue rim circles the whole plate, carrying a ring of small birds, open blossoms and leafy branches. It measures 16cm across and 2cm tall, which makes it a side plate rather than a dinner plate: the size you reach for with toast, a slice of cake or a starter. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, and at 0.22KG this one is light and easy to pass round the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt earns its place at breakfast, beside a boiled egg or a croissant, and at teatime with biscuits or a scone. At dinner it works as a bread plate to the left of each setting, or holds olives and nibbles when friends visit. Because the pattern is so full, it also looks good on a dresser shelf or in a plate rack between meals, and a single plate makes a thoughtful gift for someone who loves patterned tableware. It sits happily alongside plain stoneware, which lets this one carry the colour and the detail at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe decoration is painted by hand, and hand painting never repeats exactly, so the brushwork varies a little from one plate to the next. Looking after it is simple: it goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, so warming a pastry or a slice of quiche is quick, and it can go in the oven too, so it can warm through before a meal. For a laid table, rest it on top of a larger plain dinner plate at each setting, so the deep blue rim frames the plate beneath it and the bird takes pride of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Stoneware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandpainted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDishwasher safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrowave safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOven safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFood safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.22KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made entirely of stoneware, a dense and hard-wearing ceramic, with its blue decoration painted by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it go in the dishwasher, microwave and oven?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes to all three.
