Description
These are six round stoneware plates, each 15cm across and 2cm tall, which makes them side plates or tea plates rather than dinner plates. The glaze is a soft green, and across the face of each plate runs a pale, frosty speckle that thins out towards the rim, so the green reads deepest at the edge. The rim is low and gently rounded, giving a shallow, easy plate. With six in the set, there are enough for a small household or a table of guests, all matching.
A 15cm plate earns its place at breakfast, with toast or a croissant, and at teatime with a slice of cake or a couple of biscuits. It also works as a bread plate beside a dinner setting, a small plate for starters and tapas, or a dessert plate at the end of a meal. Keep one beside the kettle for a used teabag and a spoon. The green sits happily on a pale wooden table or against white linen, and it suits a kitchen, a dining room or a breakfast nook by the window.
Each plate is 100% stoneware. Stoneware is a dense, hard-fired ceramic, which is why it stands up well to everyday use. Care is simple: the plates go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm them before a meal or heat a small portion on the plate itself. The speckle is part of the glaze on every plate, so all six match. The styling props shown are not included. Between meals, stack the six on an open shelf or a dresser with the top plate's speckled face showing, so the set looks as good stored as it does at a meal.
