{"product_id":"paula-crackle-stoneware-breakfast-set-of-12-grey","title":"Paula Crackle Stoneware Breakfast Set of 12 - Grey","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis breakfast set brings together twelve stoneware pieces for the start of the day: cups, bowls and plates, all finished in the same grey reactive crackle glaze. The crackle is a fine web of lines running through the glaze. On every piece the glaze gives way to a rough, textured band of bare stoneware around the foot of the cups and bowls and along the edge of the plates. The cups are 8cm tall and 9cm across, with a rounded, almost globe-like body and a small loop handle. The bowls are 16cm across and 6cm tall, and the plates are 20cm across and 1.5cm tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThose sizes settle the job of each piece. The cup is a coffee or tea cup rather than a big mug. The bowl suits cereal, porridge, yoghurt or fruit, and the 20cm plate is a side or breakfast plate size, right for toast, pastries or a slice of cake. Laid out on the kitchen table or a breakfast bar, the set covers a relaxed weekday breakfast or a slow weekend brunch with friends, and it works just as well for afternoon tea. Stoneware is a dense ceramic with some heft; the whole set weighs 5.04KG.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pieces go in the dishwasher, but they are not for the microwave or the oven, so warm food in another dish first, then serve it in these pieces. A reactive glaze shifts as it fires, so the shade and the spread of crackle vary a little from piece to piece. That variation is part of the character of the glaze rather than a fault. To style it, stack each bowl on its plate with a cup beside it, and lay the table with linen napkins or a woven placemat, where the rough stoneware edges and the fine crackle catch the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight 8cm, Diameter 9cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBowl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight 6cm, Diameter 16cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight 1.5cm, Diameter 20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet of 12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Stoneware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReactive, crackle glaze\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDishwasher safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrowave safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOven safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFood safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.04KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe set is twelve pieces of grey stoneware: cups, bowls and plates sized for breakfast, every piece finished in the same reactive crackle glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the pieces go in the dishwasher?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
