The plate measures approximately 7.5 inches in diameter. Please note that due to the handmade ceramic process, the size may vary slightly from piece to piece.
While these plates are functional art, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the ceramic and the artist's signature. It is best to avoid extreme temperature changes, such as those found in a microwave.
Each piece is signed and dated by the artist, Ellen Evans, ensuring its status as an authentic, handcrafted work of art.
