Stoneware Mackerel Side Plate ( buy with matching mug)

A round ceramic side plate with hand-painted mackerel fish designs, perfect for toast or cake. This little plate matches the mackerel mug perfectly, or it can be purchased on its own.

As with most of my other ceramics, it is hand built. I roll out the clay and cut it to a very slightly off perfect circle, then turn up the edges. When it’s dry, I paint the whole plate in white underglaze to make those fishes really pop and then paint each fish with 6 shades of blue and green paint. Some 24hours later (yes ceramics teaches you patience for sure) the plate comes out and can now be glazed in my lovely silky, satin finish clear glaze and fired again. Finally it’s finished and ready to cheer you every time you use it, with or without my matching mackerel mug.
