Cornishware Red Dinner Plate

Iconic stripey plates have been the last word in traditional kitchenware and tableware since 1926 – they’ll make your dinner parties feel stylishly, splendidly English.

One of the company’s most popular lines was always Cornishware, which was first produced in 1924. It was created using a nifty lathe-turning technique that scraped blue slip away from its beautiful ceramics to reveal white bands of clay beneath. Those stripes reminded an employee of the blue skies and white-crested waves of Cornwall – which is how Cornishware got its name.
