Description
Our Pixie dinner plate is made from stoneware and measures 28cm across, a full dinner plate size with room for a main course and its sides. A wide, flat rim frames a sunken centre, with a slim ring marking the line where the two meet, and a rim this wide gives cutlery somewhere to rest. The whole surface carries a reactive glaze in blue. A reactive glaze moves and pools as it fires, and here that shows as a fine speckle, soft shifts of tone across the centre and a darker line of glaze at the very edge.
This is a plate for everyday dinners and for laying the table when friends visit. Stoneware is dense and substantial, and at 0.833KG this plate has a reassuring weight in the hand, the kind that feels right for a proper meal. The blue is a quiet, muted shade that lets food take the lead, whether a plate of pasta, a Sunday roast with all the trimmings or a simple supper of fish and vegetables. It goes in the microwave, so leftovers can be warmed straight on the plate, and it suits a busy kitchen table as readily as a dining room laid for a long weekend lunch.
Care is simple. The plate goes in the dishwasher, so clearing up after a big meal takes no extra thought. It is not made for the oven, so warm the food first and plate it once it is ready rather than heating the plate itself. Because the glaze is reactive, each plate in a stack shows its own tone, which adds to the charm of a table laid with several. For a relaxed look, layer it with plain stoneware bowls and let the depth of the blue glaze carry the table.
