Description
This is a stoneware dinner plate, hand decorated so that each piece is unique, with a multicoloured pattern laid on in loose brushstrokes. A spiral sits at the centre and opens out into concentric rings; around it run a ring of rounded dabs, a ring of slim leaf-shaped strokes and a band of brushed blocks at the rim. At 27cm across it is a full dinner plate size, with room for a main course and its sides, and at 4cm tall it has a shallow, gently raised edge.
It belongs on the everyday dinner table as much as on a long weekend lunch laid out for friends. The pattern brings colour to a plain wooden table or a simple linen cloth, and because each plate is hand decorated, a stack of them looks like a family of related pieces rather than identical copies. Use it for pasta, roast dinners, salads and curries, or set it in the middle of the table with bread, cheese or a cake. It sits happily beside plain stoneware bowls and clear glassware, and it looks good on a kitchen dresser or open shelving between meals.
Made from 100% stoneware, a dense and sturdy ceramic, the plate weighs 0.834KG and feels solid in the hand. Stoneware holds heat well, and this plate goes in the oven, so you can warm it before serving a hot meal. It also goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, which makes reheating leftovers and clearing up straightforward. Because the decoration is applied by hand, expect small differences in the brushwork from one plate to the next; that is part of its character, not a fault. We like it with linen napkins in a muted tone and simple dark or brass cutlery, letting the pattern do the talking.
