Additional Information
Additional Information
1. Design & Features
- The aesthetic is defined by its meandering floral sprigs across a crisp white base, finished with a distinctive scalloped rim.
- It is a design that avoids being "fussy," instead offering a clean, traditional look that feels right at home in a contemporary kitchen.
- At 17.9 cm in diameter, these plates provide a refined scale for side servings without occupying excessive space on the table.
2. Craftsmanship
- Each piece carries the legacy of Rörstrand, Europe's second-oldest porcelain manufacturer, founded in 1726.
- These items were produced using traditional manual techniques, meaning that no two pieces are identical.
- As Rörstrand’s own documentation notes, the unpredictable nature of the kiln fire and the hand-finished elements mean that slight variations in colour or thickness are not flaws. Instead, they are authentic hallmarks of a handcrafted ceramic process.
3. Uses & Versatility
- While often referred to as dessert or pie plates, these 18 cm pieces are the quintessential bread and butter plates of a formal service.
- Their versatility extends to serving small appetisers, breakfast pastries, or even as a base for a small cheese course.
- Because we offer these as individual replacements or sets of six, you can curate exactly what your service requires.
