Scalloped Edge Dessert Plate

The Scalloped Edge Dessert Plate is a piece that brings joy simply by existing. Its softly undulating rim — twelve shallow scallops that trace the circumference of the plate with gentle regularity — gives it a character that conventional round plates lack: the sense of something considered, decorative, and a little bit celebratory. This is a plate that makes a slice of birthday cake look more festive, a single macaron look more precious, a piece of fruit tart look more like it belongs in a Parisian patisserie window.

Despite its decorative appearance, this plate is made from the same high-fired porcelain as more utilitarian pieces, making it genuinely robust and practical. The scalloped edge is formed by hand-pressing the rim of each plate while the clay is still soft, a process that requires skill and attention to ensure the scallops are even in depth and spacing. The finished plate is glazed in a creamy, warm white — not the cold blue-white of industrial porcelain, but a tone that has warmth and life, that looks beautiful against a linen tablecloth and even better against a wooden table.

At 19cm in diameter, the plate is sized perfectly for desserts, afternoon tea accompaniments, small appetizers, or amuse-bouches at a dinner party. Its 2cm rim rise is sufficient to prevent items from sliding off without dominating the serving surface. The plate is lightweight without feeling fragile — the quality of the porcelain gives it a pleasing density that inspires confidence.

Dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe, and oven-safe to 180°C, this plate is as practical as it is pretty. It stacks neatly with other plates in the collection and is available in sets of two, four, or six for those who wish to build a matching collection.
