Pond Lily Leaf Side Plate - Dinnerware
Featured In The Ethicurean, Bristol, United Kingdom
Price from $48 to $55
Creation: 3-4 weeks
My Pond Lily Leaf Side Plates are the perfect addition to your dining set. Each one is handmade using the impression from real pond lily leaves from the University of Bristol Botanic Garden and decorated with a beautiful authentic green glaze. They are perfect for your bread rolls, simple starters or they make fantastic sushi plates!
Making Process
Firstly, I use a ‘Nymphaea lotus (Egyptian blue lotus)‘ leaf to create the impression in clay and then cut around the pond lily shape allowing for extra clay margin at the edges. I then mould and tease the clay in an outward motion, using water, to create a rippled fine rim.
My ‘Pond Lily Leaf Side Plates’ are the perfect way to make a lasting impression at dinner parties, especially when combined with complimentary ‘Pond Lily Leaf Dinner Plates‘ and ‘Pond Lily Leaf Dessert Dishes‘ (also available in my shop).
I use stoneware clay fired to 1260 degrees, making each side plate durable for functional purposes. All glazes are dishwasher and food safe. However please read the additional care instructions below.
Product Details
Dimensions: typically 20 cm diameter with a rim depth of approximately 1 cm.
Glaze Variation: please be aware, due to the handmade and unique element of each piece made, there will be slight variations in glaze colour and texture. Some items may be more olive green and some may have a more mint green tint. There may also be areas of rustic brown and charcoal grey breaking through in some areas where the leaf veins are more prominent. These colours are indicative of the variations you find in the real pond lily leaves and in any natural leaf formation.
Care
Please treat as a bone china plate. Hand wash in order to retain the glossy finish of the overall glaze. This will also help to retain the integrity of the edges.
Dispatch
In stock, ready made items will be dispatched within 3 days of order confirmation.
Please get in touch with me if you would like a bespoke set made to different measurements (3-4 weeks delivery).
