Description
This is a stoneware side plate, 20cm across and just 1.5cm tall, finished in a reactive glaze in beige. The glaze is speckled all over, gathering deeper at the centre and lightening towards the rim, so the surface has real depth rather than one flat, even tone. A reactive glaze shifts as it fires, which means the shading on every plate settles in its own way and yours will be slightly individual. At 0.48KG it has a reassuring weight in the hand without feeling heavy to carry or stack.
At 20cm across it is a side plate rather than a dinner plate: the right size for toast at breakfast, a sandwich at lunch, a slice of cake with an afternoon coffee or the bread that sits beside a main course. It works as a starter or dessert plate when friends come for dinner, and it is handy for cheese, fruit or small bites on the kitchen table. The quiet beige sits happily with wood, linen and stone, so it suits a farmhouse kitchen as well as a pared back dining room, and it makes a thoughtful gift for someone setting up a first home.
The plate is made of 100% stoneware, a dense ceramic fired at high temperature that takes daily use in its stride. It goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm it before serving, reheat a portion on it and clear it straight into the dishwasher afterwards. Seen from the side, it has a low rim that lifts gently from the flat centre, and it sits on a neat, shallow foot. For a relaxed table, lay it on a wooden board or charger with plain linen napkins, so the speckled glaze shows to best effect.

It is made of 100% stoneware and finished in a reactive glaze in beige, speckled all over and deeper at the centre.
