Hammered-Glaze Serving Plate

A round stoneware serving plate with a hammered surface, so the reactive glaze catches the light as you move it. Two small handles let you lift it from the counter and set it down in the middle of the table. Holds rinsed fruit or bread, or just the thing you want people to notice when they walk in.

What it's for

This is a one-piece serving plate that goes from the kitchen to the table. Pile it with rinsed fruit, lay out bread and cheese, plate a cake, or let it sit on the counter as a catch-all. The two handles make it easier to carry when it's full, and the dimpled, hammered surface gives it a look that earns a spot on display instead of in the back of the cupboard. It also works as a quiet table centerpiece on its own.

Reactive glaze, so no two are alike

Each plate is finished in a reactive glaze that pools and shifts during firing, so the color settles a little differently every time. The piece you receive is its own, with natural variation in tone and depth across the surface. Choose from four earthy colorways:

• Black, deep and matte-leaning, with the hammered texture catching the highlights.
• Gilt, warm caramel and gold tones that read rich on a set table.
• Marble, mottled stone tones that shift between light and shadow.
• Sage Green, a soft, washed green with an earthy, lived-in feel.

The details

• Material: Fired glazed stoneware with a hammered, dimpled finish
• Shape: Round, with two small handles for serving and carrying
• Quantity: One serving plate (single piece, not a set)
• Colors: Black, Gilt, Marble, Sage Green
• Finish: Reactive glaze, so tone and pattern vary piece to piece
• Use: Serving fruit, bread, cheese, or cake, or as a table centerpiece

A note on gifting

The hammered finish and the reactive glaze make this an easy housewarming or hostess gift, and it sits well on a wedding or registry table. Since each piece varies a little, the one you give is its own.

Care

Hand washing is best, since it protects the reactive glaze over time. Warm water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid sudden temperature shocks to the stoneware.
