Description
This deep plate sits halfway between a plate and a bowl: it is 22cm across and 5cm tall, with gently sloping sides and a capacity of 900ml. It is made entirely of stoneware and finished in a grey reactive glaze with a fine speckle running through it. That depth is the point. Pasta, risotto, salads and stews stay put, and sauce gathers in the well instead of running over the edge. At 0.661KG it has a satisfying weight in the hand without being a chore to carry from the kitchen.
We think of it as the dish for one-bowl suppers: a twirl of spaghetti in tomato sauce, a leafy salad scattered with radish and seeds, or smoked salmon on rye with asparagus. It suits a weeknight meal at the kitchen table as readily as a slower weekend lunch with friends, and the grey glaze sits quietly against white linen, pale jugs or a dark tabletop. Because it goes in the oven, it also works for baking a single portion of gratin or warming a slice of pie, then taking it straight to the table.
Stoneware is fired at a high temperature, which makes it dense and good at holding heat. A reactive glaze shifts as it fires, so the tone and speckle vary slightly from one piece to the next, and yours will be its own. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so leftovers can be warmed in the same dish in which they were served. The styling props shown are not included. For a relaxed table, lay out a few beside a board of bread and a jug of water, and let the speckled glaze do the talking.

What is it made of?
It is made of 100% stoneware and finished in a grey reactive glaze, which gives each piece a slightly different tone and a fine speckle.
Can it go in the dishwasher and the microwave?
Yes. The maker states it goes in both the dishwasher and the microwave, so reheating leftovers and clearing up afterwards are both straightforward.
Can I use it in the oven?
Yes. The maker states it can go in the oven, so you can bake a single portion of gratin in it and bring it straight to the table.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 0.661KG, which gives it a sturdy, settled feel on the table and in the hand without being awkward to carry.
