The Camilla Side Plate combines a hand-painted floral motif with an everyday-use form, produced in Caldas da Rainha using techniques developed over generations. The blooms are applied loosely across the surface, with no two plates painted exactly the same, giving each set a natural variation. Its neutral white ground works alongside darker stoneware or plain tableware, while the ceramic construction is suited to regular use rather than display.
The Atlantic light south of Porto flattens everything into pale gold, and every village seems to have a potter who has been watching flowers longer than most people have been alive.. JJ found this plate propped against a stone wall at a Douro Valley lunch, bread resting on it, entirely at ease. The blooms are loose, generous, nothing like florals meant for display rather than use. No two are painted quite the same.. Place this set of 4 side plates among darker stoneware or plain white. It holds its own beside almost anything you already own.
