Product Insights
This 8.5-inch small plate offers an affordable ($9.50 CAD) entry into unique reactive-glaze dinnerware, with each piece bearing a distinct speckle pattern that is embedded and won't wear off. Its glossy finish resists stains and utensil marks, and it is dishwasher and microwave safe without crazing. However, to preserve the glaze's smooth finish, gentle washing with mild detergent and avoidance of high heat is recommended, making it a practical yet care-conscious choice for salad, dessert, or luncheon use.
Verified claims

- The microwave-safe plate has a glaze and ceramic body with closely matched thermal expansion, which helps prevent crazing through repeated heat-and-cool cycles.

Compared within this brand.
| Slightly Speckled Small Plate: Choose this if you want a small ceramic plate with a sleek, delicately speckled look and modern tone: it is a round, off-white 8.5-inch (21.5 cm) plate with fine dark speckles, a matte glaze, and a slightly raised rim with a warmer beige tint. It suits everyday use since it is dishwasher and microwave safe, and matching pieces in the line are sold separately if you want to build a set. Note it comes in only one size and the White color option, so it is a small-plate pick rather than a full-size dinner plate.[1,2,3] | Pastel Speckles Small Plate: Choose this if you want an 8.5 inch (21.5 cm) speckled stoneware plate in a pastel shade—Mint/Pistachio Green or Pink—to brighten up your kitchen, with a hand-applied reactive glaze and a matte, low-profile design. It's dishwasher and microwave safe, and matching pieces are sold separately. Note that because each piece is finished by hand, it's uniquely made and may vary slightly from the photo.[4,5] | Purple-Hued Speckles Small Plate: Choose this if you want a decorative 8.5-inch (21.5 cm) ceramic plate with a purple-speckled, hand-applied reactive glaze and glossy brown rim that reviewers say makes table settings memorable for entertaining or special meals. Its ceramic build is reportedly lighter than typical stoneware, easing handling, and it is dishwasher and microwave safe with matching pieces sold separately. Note that each piece varies slightly from the photo due to the glaze—so it may not suit those wanting a perfectly matched set—and one reviewer found the plates do not stack neatly, requiring extra space in cupboards and dishwasher racks.[6,7] |
