All my plates are hand made from stoneware clay decorated using coloured slips, underglazes and a paper stencil technique. This Grub plate is slightly smaller than the other plates. 17cm as opposed to 18.5cm in diameter.

Grub meaning: Dating back to the 1650s, the term is thought to reference birds eating grubs. Mentioned in the Swell’s Night Guide 1846. ‘He scoffed weed; that is, chewed tobacco. [Ibid.] 50: You must grub with the grunters, and scoff cabbage without salt

Each plate is unique due to the nature of hand making and the unpredictability of the kiln firing. They are sturdy, functional and dishwasher proof. They sometimes display characteristic minor imperfections.
