Know before you buy
No. Because each plate is individually crafted by Ellen Evans, you should expect slight variations in the pattern and finish. This ensures that every piece in your set is truly one-of-a-kind.
The plates are approximately 10 inches in diameter. Because they are handmade, there may be minor variations in size, which is a standard characteristic of artisanal ceramic dinnerware.
Every plate is signed and dated by the artist, Ellen Evans. This signature serves as a mark of authenticity and confirms the piece was crafted in her New York studio.
As these are artisanal ceramic pieces, we recommend hand washing to preserve the finish and integrity of the handmade design. Avoid using harsh abrasives that could scratch the surface.
Because each plate is individually crafted to order, production time is required before your item is ready. Please account for this artisanal process when planning your purchase.
