Description
Material
Crafted from high-quality porcelain clay, fired with semi-matte glaze, and finished with high-quality ceramic transfers.
Craftsmanship process
Our plates undergo a meticulous two-stage firing process. First, we use press moulding to shape the clay body and apply a softly speckled eggshell glaze in a semi-matte finish. The plates are dipped in glaze and then sprayed again before the final firing. Artisans hand-transfer screen-printed illustrations to the centre of each plate, finishing with a Poppy & Pepper brand stamp on the bottom.
Design
Our salad plate is inspired from a teacup & saucer made in the 1930s, with a short inward-tilting edge and elevated foot. A small group of illustrations centres the plate.
Versatility
Perfect for serving a side dish or a light meal, salad, sushi, dim sum, or smashed arvo on toast and more. It pairs perfectly with our Pin Cushion dinner plate.
Options
Another two sizes are available: Gum Blossoms dinner plate and Wax Flowers dessert plate
Note: We photographed our cherished ceramic pieces under studio lighting, but the warmth of the glaze may look slightly different in various lighting conditions. The flow of the glaze can cause speckles to cluster unevenly, leading to variations in their distribution across different pieces. Differences in glaze flow due to hand-dipping and spraying, along with slight variations in the placement of patterns and illustrations, underscore the unique, handcrafted nature of Poppy & Pepper ceramics and are part of their charm

Care
Dishwasher, microwave and oven safe with care.
Ideally wares should not touch each other in dishwasher to prevent scratches on glaze.
Sudden temperature change, such as from oven to cold bench, or from freezer to oven, may cause thermal shock and damage your wares. Always place cold dish onto the wire rack in oven and place hot dish on cloth or wooden surface.
Due to the nature of the semi-matte glaze, prolonged contact with harsh metal utensils may leave consistent marks on the surface of glaze. We recommend using wooden or high-quality metal utensils.
