POISE PLATES 

A Collection of Versatile Landings

We are the hollows, the shallow, the wide,

With nowhere for dust or for secrets to hide.

From the steam of the kettle to the light of the bed,

We’re the place where the wandering objects are led.

Not just for the kitchen, nor just for the spoon,

We’re the anchors that hold you from morning to noon.

A palm made of stoneware, a gift from the fire,

To hold every fragment that you might require.

CHICKEN'S FEET 

Across the rim, a rhythmic beat,

The hurried prints of tiny feet.

A rustic dance in clay and fire,

To hold the things that you require.

I’ll watch the stove or guard the hall,

The steadiest landing of them all.

THE STORY 

The Chicken's Feet plate is a whimsical yet grounded addition to the collection. Its name comes from the distinctive, hand-etched V-shapes that march around the rim, reminiscent of the busy tracks left behind in a farmyard morning. These ochre-toned markings provide a striking, earthy contrast against the deep, midnight-plum glaze that pools in the centre of the dish.

This piece carries a rustic charm that feels both ancient and contemporary. While it serves with high utility as a spoon rest—its etched border providing a natural grip for handles—it is also a characterful bowl for small treasures. Whether it is resting on a kitchen windowsill or catching the contents of your pockets at the end of the day, it brings a touch of storytelling and life to the surfaces of your home.
