Description
Our Larken dinner plate is made of 100% stoneware and finished in a multicoloured glaze that is speckled, streaked and splashed across its face, so the surface rewards a closer look. It measures 27cm across and 2.5cm tall, which is a true dinner plate size: room for a main course and its sides without the food crowding the rim. The outline is round but not perfectly so, with a gently wavy edge and a low, shallow profile that gives it a relaxed, informal look. At 0.784KG it has a solid, satisfying weight in the hand.
This is a plate for everyday dinners and for the table you lay when friends visit. Its size suits pasta, a Sunday roast, a curry or a generous salad, and it works as well as a serving plate for fruit, cheese or bread in the middle of the table. The busy glaze looks at home in a farmhouse kitchen or a dining room with a wooden table, and it brings plenty of interest to a simple setting of plainer crockery and linen. Because each plate carries so much movement in its glaze, a few of them are enough to give a table character, and they mix easily with other stoneware.
Care is straightforward: it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm it before serving a hot meal and clear it away without fuss. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing material, well suited to daily use. The maker notes that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the plate you receive may differ a little from ours and from any others you order. For styling, let it be the most patterned piece on the table: pair it with plain napkins, simple glassware and a sprig of fresh herbs, and let the glaze do the talking. The styling props shown are not included.
