Description
Our Imogen plate is a small stoneware plate, 16.5cm across and 2.5cm tall, finished in a reactive glaze that gives it real depth. The glaze streaks outward from a smooth, plain centre towards the rim in a fine, feathered band, so the plate reads as multicoloured rather than any single shade. The edge is curved and uneven, more like a pebble than a perfect circle, and the low profile keeps it close to the table. At 0.23KG it is light enough to hand round with ease.
At 16.5cm across it is a side plate size: right for toast at breakfast, a slice of cake in the afternoon, a pastry alongside coffee, or bread and butter beside a main meal. It works just as well as a dessert plate, or as a small plate for olives, cheese and nibbles when friends visit. Keep a few by the kettle for everyday use, or bring them out for brunch and relaxed dinners, where a little texture on the table goes a long way. It suits anyone who likes tableware with some character and wants something more interesting than a plain plate.
The plate is 100% stoneware. Stoneware is a dense clay fired at a high temperature, which makes it hard-wearing for daily use. It goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm it before serving and clean it without fuss afterwards. Reactive glazes shift in the kiln, so the streaks and the depth of tone vary a little from one plate to the next, which is part of the charm. For styling, pair it with simple tableware so the glaze has room to show, or set it under a cup as a generous saucer at the tea table.
