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.

MIDNIGHT RUFFLE 

A ruffled edge of golden light,

Against the velvet of the night.

I’m a sophisticated, moody friend,

On whom your surfaces depend.

For spoons of honey or rings of gold,

I am the sanctuary you can hold.

THE STORY 

The Midnight Ruffle is a piece of high theatrical contrast. The deep, ink-black glaze of the "well" flows into a warm, honey-gold fluted rim, creating a visual rhythm that feels both regal and organic. The way the golden glaze breaks over the "ruffles" of the edge mimics the first light of a harvest moon catching the tops of the trees.

This plate is designed to catch the light, turning even the most mundane object into a curated display. It is a sophisticated landing for a used tea bag or a honey-laden spoon, but it carries enough elegance to sit on a vanity tray holding your most precious gold jewellery. It is a bold, moody companion that brings a sense of occasion to the simple act of setting something down.
