Description
This set of 2 stoneware plates brings a bright, citrus mood to the table. Each blue plate is painted by hand with plump lemons hanging from leafy blue branches, and the two designs differ: one pairs its lemon branch with a scatter of small blue flowers, while the other frames the fruit inside a border of bold brushstrokes. At 15cm long, 11cm wide and 2cm tall, these are small rectangular plates with a shallow raised rim, nearer in size to a saucer than a side plate, so they are plates for the little things rather than a full meal.
Both plates are approved for food, so they earn their place every day. Set one beside the teapot with a slice of lemon drizzle or a couple of biscuits, use the pair for olives and bread when friends come round for a drink, or put out butter, lemon wedges or a dip on the kitchen table. Their size suits a breakfast tray or a crowded dinner table where a full platter will not fit. Away from food, one makes a cheerful home for rings and earrings on a dressing table, or a tidy spot for keys by the front door. They also make a thoughtful small gift for anyone who loves a sunny kitchen.
The plates are 100% stoneware, finished with handpainted decorations on a solid glaze. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, which is why it is such a popular choice for everyday tableware. Care is easy: they go in the dishwasher, and they can go in the microwave or the oven, so a small portion can be warmed straight on the plate. For a simple styling idea, lay the two side by side down the centre of a table, or rest one on an open kitchen shelf where its lemon pattern can be enjoyed between meals.
