Description
This side plate is made of grey stoneware, 22cm across and 2cm tall, with a reactive glaze that gives every surface its own character. At 22cm it sits between a dinner plate and a small bread plate, a useful size for breakfast, a light lunch, toast or a slice of cake in the afternoon. The glaze settles into a deeper, speckled grey across the centre and turns paler towards the edge, finished with a darker line at the rim. Stoneware is fired hard and dense, so it feels substantial in the hand; this plate weighs 0.562KG.
It earns its place on the everyday table: toast and eggs in the morning, a sandwich or salad at lunch, cheese and crackers when friends visit. On a laid table it works as the side plate beside a dinner plate, holding bread or a starter, and at 2cm tall it stacks neatly without taking much cupboard height. It suits the kitchen table, the dining room and a summer lunch carried into the garden, and it will please anyone who likes tableware with a little variation in the glaze rather than a flat, uniform finish.
The plate is 100% stoneware with a reactive glaze. A reactive glaze responds to the heat of the kiln, so the speckle and shading vary a little from one plate to the next and no two are quite alike. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, it can go in the microwave and it can go in the oven, so you can warm it before serving a hot starter. For styling, lay it on linen with wooden boards and plain bowls for a relaxed table, or set several around the table so the speckled glaze becomes the point of interest.
