Description
This small stoneware plate has a softly scalloped edge and a broad fluted rim, finished in a speckled blue glaze that fades to a paler grey-blue in the centre. The ribs around the rim catch the glaze, so it gathers deeper in the grooves and lighter on the ridges, giving the whole surface a soft, gently weathered look. It is round, 22.5cm across and 3cm deep, with a shallow well that keeps food neatly in place while the wide rim frames it.
At 22.5cm across, it sits between a side plate and a dinner plate, which makes it a useful size for breakfast toast, salads, cake or a light lunch. The soft blue suits a kitchen table, a breakfast bar or an open dresser shelf, and the speckled glaze looks at home beside natural wood, linen napkins and woven placemats. It makes a thoughtful gift for a new home, a practical piece that will be reached for every day rather than kept for best, and a gentle way to bring a little colour to everyday meals.
It is made from glazed stoneware, and the scalloped edge and fluted rim are shaped into the plate itself rather than printed on, so the pattern stays part of its form. As general good practice for glazed stoneware, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water, drying it with a soft cloth and avoiding abrasive scourers that could dull the glaze. On the table, lay it beside plain white tableware for a soft contrast, or set a bowl on top to add a ring of fluted blue around it. For a new home, wrap it with a jar of homemade jam or a loaf from a local bakery for a gift that earns its place from the very first morning.
