Description
This dinner plate is made of stoneware and measures 26.5cm across and 2cm tall, which is a true dinner plate size: room for a main course and its sides without crowding the edge. The reactive glaze settles into a soft, even pink across the centre, then gathers towards the rim into a deeper, speckled band that frames whatever you serve. The profile is low and flat with a gently lifted edge, and at 0.864KG it has a solid, reassuring weight in the hand. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, which is why it suits plates that see daily use.
We like it for everyday dinners in the kitchen, or at the dining table when friends visit; the size works as well for a weekday pasta as for a Sunday roast. Because the colour is calm in the middle and livelier at the rim, food takes the centre while the edge does the decorating, so it suits anyone who likes a table with some character but not too much pattern. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone setting up a first home or refreshing a tired dinner service.
The finish is a reactive glaze, and that is the reason no two plates are quite alike: reactive glazes move and pool as they are fired, so the speckling and the depth of colour at the rim vary a little from one plate to the next. Care is straightforward. It goes in the dishwasher, it can go in the microwave to reheat a meal, and it can go in the oven, so you can warm it before serving a hot dish. For the table, lay it on dark wood or a plain linen cloth, where the speckled rim shows at its best.
