Reactive Glaze Oval Stoneware Platter — Hand-dipped reactive glaze stoneware platter in rust and iron tones

Why we chose it

Good design, with a point of view

Reactive glazes are unpredictable by nature, and that is exactly the point. Every platter that comes out of the kiln is slightly different, a different spread of rust, a deeper pool of grey, a warmer amber in the center. The hand-thrown construction and organic oval form mean this is a piece that earns a place on the table every day, not just for occasions.

  • Also suited to a kitchen counter, sideboard, or coffee table as a decorative serving surface.

Best For

Styling note

A little guidance from our edit

Lay it flat on a light oak or linen-covered table and let the glaze do the work. Pair with handmade ceramic mugs, a small bowl of olives or nuts, and a simple linen napkin. Both sizes work well together, use the larger as a main serving surface and the smaller for sides or condiments.

Worth knowing

The useful details

About This Piece

This oval stoneware platter is thrown and finished by hand, then dipped in a reactive glaze that pools and moves differently with every firing. The result is a flat serving surface with a low, gently curved rim, finished in deep iron-grey that warms to rust and amber toward the center. Because each piece is glazed and fired individually, no two platters carry exactly the same distribution of tone.

The glaze swirls and settles differently across every piece, pooling in deep iron-grey at the rim and warming to rust and amber toward the center. No two platters share the same tone distribution. Thrown and finished by hand from stoneware, the platter has an organic oval form with a low, gently curved rim that keeps food in place on the serving surface.
