The Art of Handcrafted Excellence
Every side plate begins its journey as raw clay, carefully shaped and formed by my skilled hands on the traditional potter's wheel.
The creation process involves multiple stages of meticulous attention, from the initial throwing and shaping to the careful trimming and finishing that gives each piece its distinctive character.
No two plates are exactly alike, as the handmade process ensures that each piece carries its own unique personality and subtle variations in form, colour and glaze application.
The stoneware clay body provides exceptional durability while maintaining an elegant, refined appearance.
This high-fired ceramic construction ensures your side plate will withstand daily use while retaining its beautiful finish for years to come. The substantial weight and satisfying feel in your hands speaks to the quality construction and premium materials used in every piece.
Coastal Range Inspiration
Our Coastal Collection draws inspiration from the ever-changing moods of the sea and shore.
The blue and sand colour palette reflects the natural harmony found where ocean meets land – those magical moments when azure waves kiss golden beaches under endless skies.
The blue glaze captures the depth and richness of deep ocean waters, with subtle variations that mirror the way sunlight dances across rolling waves.
The sand glaze evokes warm beaches and weathered driftwood, bringing earthy warmth that grounds the range in natural beauty. When combined on a single piece, these glazes create a stunning visual dialogue that speaks to the eternal relationship between sea and shore.
Versatile Design for Modern Living
This side plate measures perfectly for salads, appetisers, desserts, or as an accent piece alongside your main dinner plates. The thoughtful proportions make it ideal for portion control while providing ample space for artistic food presentation.
The slightly raised rim contains sauces and dressings beautifully, while the smooth, food-safe glazed surface makes clean-up effortless.
The neutral yet sophisticated colour palette ensures this piece will complement virtually any existing tableware, from crisp white porcelain to rustic earthenware collections.
Whether your style leans toward modern minimalism, farmhouse charm, or coastal cottage aesthetics, this side plate will feel perfectly at home on your table.
Mix and Match Possibilities
The true magic of our Coastal Range lies in its versatility for mixing and matching across the entire range. This side plate pairs beautifully with our handcrafted mugs, creating perfect breakfast or afternoon tea settings.
The colour harmony extends seamlessly to our collection of tankards, making it ideal for casual entertaining or everyday family use.
Create stunning table settings by combining this side plate with our large dinner plates in complementary or contrasting glazes. Layer the blue side plate over a sand-glazed dinner plate for elegant contrast, or choose matching glazes for a more unified look.
The choice is yours, and the possibilities are endless.
Our handcrafted bowls complete the dining experience, whether you're serving soups, salads, or pasta dishes. The consistent design language across all pieces ensures a cohesive look while allowing for creative expression through color combinations.
Mix all blue pieces for a monochromatic coastal statement, combine all sand tones for warm earthiness, or blend both colors for dynamic visual interest.
