Description
Our Neri side plate is made of 100% stoneware in black, and its surface carries fine raised ribs that radiate from a smooth centre out to the rim, like a sunburst. At 23cm across and 2cm tall it is a generous side plate. It is big enough for toast and jam, a wedge of cake or a small salad with room to spare, and low enough to stack neatly in a cupboard. It weighs 0.56KG, a solid, settled weight that feels substantial in the hand.
It is made for everyday meals as much as for guests. Use it at breakfast for croissants or toast, beside a dinner plate for bread and butter, or as the main plate for a light lunch, a starter or a dessert. Black is a flattering background for food, so bright salad leaves, berries and golden pastries look their best on it. It suits a busy kitchen table, a dining room laid for a dinner party or a slow weekend brunch, and black sits comfortably with wooden tables, stone worktops and linen cloths alike.
The stoneware is finished in a shimmering glaze, which gives the ribs a soft sheen. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, which makes it a good material for plates in daily use. After a meal it can go straight in the dishwasher. It should not go in the microwave or the oven, so warm food in another dish and keep this plate for serving and eating. For a layered place setting, rest it on a larger dinner plate with a folded napkin, or keep a stack out on open shelving, where the ribbed surface catches the light.
