Wood-Fired
Pair of Dinner Plates
If you have followed my wood-fired ceramics for a while you may notice that wood-fired plates are a rare if not never seen before addition to the collection!
Due their flat nature and tendancy to warp I have steered clear for years, however for this firing I was tempted to try a couple of dinner plates and goodness I was pleased I did!
Each plate is glazed in the rich earthy tones of Lichen with it gentle variations across the satin surface. Subtle textures and hues from the ash have created an stunning finish contrasting against the raw unglazed exterior with its natural hues. Additional ‘flashing’ on the base from the use of the natural sea shells as props adds to the individual nature of these plates.
With a shallow rim to keep all the lovely sauces on your plate they are a perfect everyday addition for the table.
Whilst all wood-fired pieces are completely unique and individual due the firing process.

Wood-firing is traditional process that is now only used by a few potters. It’s a labour of love as each firing take days loading and firing with a team stocking to reaching a temperature of 1280’C. Ash circulates the kiln landing on pots to create beautiful speckles, flames create rich colours and earthy toasted finishes. Each pot is balanced on clay packed sea-shells to stop them sticking to the kiln shelf, the shells leave beautiful marks and imprints on the base.
Whilst its fraught with uncertainty, it’s worth the extra effort for the beautiful unique pots that emerge, each a little different … just the way handmade pieces should be.

All my pottery is dishwasher safe but I recommend hand washing.
