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 dinner plate is inspired from a teacup & saucer made in the 1930s, with a short inward-tilting edge and elevated foot. The centre of the plate is adorned with a small group illustration of gum blossoms and a bumble bee.
Versatility
Perfect for serving a main dish, pasta, steak, fish fillet, or schnitzel with sides, and more. Our Gum Blossom dinner plate is made to impress.
Options

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

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 glaze’s texture, prolonged contact with harsh metal utensils may leave noticeable marks. We recommend using wooden or high-quality metal utensils to preserve its appearance.
