It is very rare that I ever make plates!
They are over double the amount of clay needed to make a mug, they need more glaze, they have a higher chance of failure glaze wise, and they take up a whole shelf to themselves in the kiln! But even though they have been quite the task, they have been a lot of fun to make!
The approx diameter of the plate: 17cm
** Although these are technically dishwasher safe, I would recommend handwashing over frequent dishwasher use. Dishwashers and cleaning agents can be quite harsh, and can negatively impact ceramics over time. **
