Wycliffe Stoneware Dinner Plates, Set of 4 | Reactive Glaze

A softly organic shape, a neutral earthy glaze and real weight in the hand — everyday plates that make an ordinary Tuesday feel considered.

The Wycliffe is the set you'll use every day and still be glad of at a dinner party. Four dinner plates in durable stoneware, gently organic in outline rather than perfectly circular, finished in a natural reactive glaze in a warm neutral tone. The reactive finish is what gives them their character: the glaze moves as it fires, so tone and depth vary subtly across each plate and from one to the next. At 27cm they're a proper dinner size, generous enough for a main course with room around it, and the substantial weight gives them the reassuring feel of something made rather than stamped out. Microwave and dishwasher safe, so they earn their place in daily use.

What sets it apart

The detail that makes it different

Handmade-looking plates usually come with handmade-looking rules about washing them. The Wycliffe gives you the reactive glaze and the softly irregular, hand-formed shape without the fragility — these are dishwasher and microwave safe, so the character doesn't cost you convenience. Being stoneware rather than porcelain, they're dense and chip-resistant, and the weight in the hand is noticeably better than a thin, light plate. The glaze is food safe and smooth, so sauces wipe away easily and nothing absorbs into the surface. The neutral earthy tone is the practical part: it flatters food, sits happily with linen in any colour, and mixes with the ceramics you already own instead of demanding a matched table.
