Know before you buy
This plate measures exactly 6 5/8 inches (6.625 inches) in diameter, which is the standard size for a bread and butter plate.
Denby and Langley pottery is well-regarded for its high-fired, chip-resistant stoneware. Despite its age, this piece remains robust and suitable for regular use if handled with standard care.
Yes, because this is a vintage, hand-finished stoneware pattern, you may notice slight variations in the glaze intensity and the application of the rust red center and brown rim, which adds to its unique character.
Absolutely. Its 6 5/8-inch size makes it versatile enough to serve as a small appetizer plate, a dessert saucer, or a side plate for fruit or cheese.
While Denby stoneware is generally known for its durability, vintage pieces from the 1980s are best preserved by hand washing to protect the integrity of the glaze over time. We recommend avoiding extreme temperature shocks, such as moving the plate directly from a freezer to a hot oven.
