Karine Side Plate - Assorted Designs

The price is for one side plate, sold in the carton quantity shown; it comes in four designs, shown together in the photographs, and the design you receive cannot be chosen. Each plate is stoneware through and through and measures 20cm across and 2.5cm tall, the classic side plate size: roomy enough for toast, a sandwich or a slice of cake, and small enough to sit beside a dinner plate without crowding the table. Its face carries a handstamped pattern, floral on some designs and geometric on others, with multicoloured motifs covering the whole surface and a fine line finishing the rim.

A side plate earns its place at every meal. Use it for breakfast toast and pastries, for bread beside a bowl of soup, for cheese and crackers, or for cake with afternoon tea. At 0.4KG it is easy to pass round the table or carry out to the garden for a light lunch. The all-over pattern means it looks good on an open shelf or a dresser between meals, and whichever design arrives sits comfortably beside plain tableware. It suits a family kitchen, a dining room or a cosy breakfast nook, and makes a thoughtful gift for someone moving into a first home.

Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and this plate goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can reheat a slice of quiche on it and send it straight into the dishwasher with the other dishes. Because it is ovenproof, you can also warm the plates before serving a hot meal. The pattern is handstamped, which gives each plate the slight variations of work done by hand rather than the flat sameness of a printed decal. To style it, prop one upright at the back of an open shelf with its pattern facing the room, or lay one at each place beside a plain dinner plate.
