Side Plate in 7"

The plate that does the quiet work: bread, salad, dessert, the first course, the thing you did not plan for. At 7 in it is compact enough to stack easily and large enough to serve properly, and its glaze palette matches the 9 in dinner plates exactly, so a full table can be built piece by piece.

There are seven glazes, and they are meant to be mixed. Snow White is a clean, glossy bright glaze that sets up a crisp contrast against the warm clay. Charcoal Black is deep and rich with a smooth satin finish. Periwinkle Violet is a cool, glossy blue-violet. Berry Red is a muted raspberry, warm and full of character. Sunrise Peach is a creamy apricot, bright and inviting. Ocean Teal is a refreshing turquoise with organic speckling. Sandstone Clear is warm speckled clay, half-dipped in glossy clear glaze so the raw, tactile surface shows below.

Take one, or a set of four or six.

Materials

Glazed ceramic.

Sizing

7.25 in across, 1.25 in high. Weighs about 1.1 lb.

Care

Food, dishwasher and microwave safe, though washing by hand will keep the glaze looking its best. Ceramic gets very hot in a microwave, so take care lifting it out.

Made in

Made and glazed by hand in Victor Serrano's Brooklyn studio, New York.

Please note

Every piece is made and glazed by hand, so color, speckling and size vary a little from one to the next. That is the character of the work rather than a fault in it.
