The beading is the detail that makes it: a fine row of raised dots picking up the light around every rim, in the language of old French faience rather than anything overtly modern. The taupe is warm rather than grey, so it flatters food and sits comfortably with linen, wood and pale ceramics. Dishwasher, microwave and food safe throughout, which makes it a set for daily use rather than the back of a cupboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"divider\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"section-label\"\u003eWhat sets it apart\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"section-heading\"\u003eThe detail that makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"section-body\"\u003eA twelve-piece set usually means twelve identical, characterless pieces. \u003cstrong\u003eThe Chesil combines two things that rarely arrive together: a properly decorative beaded rim, and an organic, softly wavering outline that means no two plates sit quite the same way in a stack\u003c\/strong\u003e. The beading catches the light around each edge and defines the shape without adding pattern or colour to compete with what you serve. Earthenware fires at a lower temperature than stoneware, which is what gives it the softer, warmer depth of glaze — and here it's finished to be dishwasher and microwave safe, so the character costs you nothing in convenience. Buy a second set and the table extends to eight without anything looking mismatched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collection-callout\"\u003e\n\u003csvg width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 18\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#8b6f4e\" stroke-width=\"1.2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" style=\"flex-shrink:0;margin-top:2px;\"\u003e\u003crect rx=\"1\" height=\"11\" width=\"16\" y=\"5\" x=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/rect\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M5 5V4a3 3 0 0 1 6 0v1\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/crockery\" title=\"Shop ceramic crockery and tableware at CharlesTed Home\"\u003ecrockery\u003c\/a\u003e range — layer with serving pieces from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bowls-and-dishes\" title=\"Shop ceramic bowls and dishes at CharlesTed Home\"\u003ebowls and dishes\u003c\/a\u003e collection for a table that looks gathered over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"suits-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eClassic\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eFarmhouse\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eModern Rustic\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eCoastal\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eTraditional\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eContemporary\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"divider\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-label\"\u003eGood to know\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eWhat's included in the set?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eTwelve pieces in total: four dinner plates, four side plates and four bowls — a complete setting for four.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eWhat size is each piece?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eThe dinner plates measure 27cm across and the side plates 21cm.

It's a little more porous than stoneware, so it's worth handling with a bit of care around knocks and chips at the rim, and drying pieces properly rather than stacking them damp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eCan I add to the set later?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA second set takes the table from four to eight.
