Scoff Slang Plate...
Scoff Slang Plate
My plates are hand made from stoneware clay decorated using coloured slips, underglazes and a paper stencil technique. Scoff means to eat, to gobble up, to eat greedily. A variant possibly of mid 19th century Scaff. Many people wrongly presume it’s linked to the famous 20th century French chef Auguste Escoffier – Inventor of the hierarchical brigade de cuisine system for organising the kitchen staff. He also came up with the bouillon cube and peach melba.
Made from stoneware clay decorated using coloured slips and a paper resist technique. 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 and sometimes display characteristic minor imperfections.
18.5 cm diameter.

Hello I'm Steve Kamlish. My thing is words on plates. I'm interested in typographic quotes, idioms and slang all related to food. The history of a word or phrase fascinates me and I love breathing new life into an obscure saying, slang or film quote.
My work is all hand made from our home studio in Bath. The kiln sits in a vault beneath the pavement of Camden Road.
