Pastel Tartan Ceramic Plate

The tartan is printed in pale washes rather than hard lines, so it sits under food instead of competing with it — which is the reason a patterned plate usually stays in the cupboard. Eight inches across, right for a starter, a slice of cake or toast that needs to look like more than toast. The slightly raised rim keeps a sauce from finding the tablecloth. Four colourways that layer well when you put them out together.
