The same body, glaze and profile as the Vega dinner plate at twenty-one centimetres — bread, a starter, a piece of cake, or the plate you actually reach for on a weeknight when the full dinner plate is more than the meal needs.
It nests inside the dinner plate with a few millimetres to spare, which matters more than it sounds if your cupboard is shallow. Stacked four high it stands 9 cm tall.
The material record
Everything we know about this piece, stated plainly. The same record is printed on the card in the box.
- Body & glaze
- Buff iron-speckled stoneware body, satin bone-white glaze, food-safe and lead-free. Fired to 1240°C (cone 6) in an electric kiln.
- Dimensions
- Ø 21 cm × 2.0 cm high
- Weight
- 390 g
- Finish & variation
- Satin matte glaze breaking warmer over the rim. Speckle varies piece to piece; the rim is very slightly out of round. Both are inherent to the material and process.
- Made
- Thrown, glazed and fired in northern Portugal.
Care
- Dishwasher-safe on any normal cycle. Load so pieces do not knock against each other — chips come from contact, not from water.
- Microwave-safe. There is no metal in the body or the glaze.
- Safe in a conventional oven to 180°C, provided the piece goes into a cold oven and heats with it.
- Wash off acidic foods — tomato, citrus, vinegar — within a few hours rather than leaving them to stand overnight.
Cautions
- Not for the freezer, the broiler, or a direct flame. Stoneware fails by thermal shock, and the crack is immediate and total.
- Do not move a piece straight from a hot oven onto a cold or wet surface, or run cold water into a hot dish.
- Cutlery leaves grey metal marks on a satin glaze. They are surface only and lift with a damp cloth and a little bicarbonate of soda.
- The unglazed foot ring is deliberately left raw and is slightly abrasive — lift rather than drag across a polished table.
