Description
This side plate is made of stoneware and decorated by hand in blue. It is 20.5cm across and 2.5cm tall. Wavy bands of stripes run in from the rim towards a small dot at the centre, with broad brushed wedges of blue between them, so the whole face reads as one bold radial pattern. Because every plate is decorated by hand, each piece is unique: the lines wander a little differently and the brushstrokes show, which is much of its charm. The rim lifts gently from a flat centre, and the plate weighs 0.544KG, a solid weight for its size.
At 20.5cm across it is a side plate size: right for toast at breakfast, a slice of cake in the afternoon, bread beside a bowl of soup, or a starter before the main course. It suits the kitchen table every day and comes into its own when friends come for lunch, as a pattern this lively gives a plain tablecloth some colour. Lay one at each place beside larger dinner plates, or use one at breakfast under a boiled egg in its cup. It works just as well for passing round biscuits, olives or a wedge of cheese with drinks.
Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic that holds heat well, which makes it a good choice for plates in daily use. This one goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so it can warm through before dinner and be cleaned without fuss afterwards. Because the decoration is done by hand, no two plates are quite alike, and we think those small differences are part of the appeal rather than a flaw. For styling, let the pattern lead: pair it with plain plates and linen napkins in a soft neutral shade, and keep the rest of the table simple so the blue has room to breathe.
