The Wick Culture - Blue and White Side Plate by Henry Holland

Objects Blue and White Side Plate by Henry Holland

Planning an alfresco dinner party soon? Look no further than Henry Holland’s line of plates and side plates in a variety of delicious colour combinations and patterns. Showcasing the intricacy of Holland’s signature marbling technique, this little gem is made from a mix of blue and white earthenware clay and finished with a high gloss transparent glaze. The raised lip will help prevent any spillages between kitchen and table, while the soft palette will complement the greenery of the garden. In our eyes, it’s all about working in harmony with the setting — and these plates will blend right in. Add candles, a neutral tablecloth and some freshly cut flowers for ultimate summer party vibes.
