great everyday plates
I bought these to supplement and complement our dinner service which is handmade by a Devon potter and posted to us 'up North' at a fraction of the cost. They are lovely, and definitely robust enough for the everyday bashing we give them. I was slightly concerned that the crackle glaze would quickly stain but after a couple of months of good use this doesn't seem to be the case. The unglazed bottom does seem to slightly rub the plate below when stacked so maybe after a year or so they'll look quite worn-in. The reason I dropped it a star though (because they are gorgeous and perfect for the job!) is that they are made in China. Why? We have perfectly good artisan potters in the UK struggling to make a living who could have made this without it needing to be shipped halfway round the world. Although lovely, I do think I'll return to my Devon potter.
