Ring Dish - Nobnob Collection Stoneware in Blues

Our handmade stoneware ring dishes are individually formed and decorated using techniques which make each a unique item. Even though we carefully fire each piece in the same manner, variation occurs and gives unique qualities to the piece. All of our glazes were designed in-house. The clay is locally made and designed to mimic the white of porcelain.

Folks ask me how I got started making these small dishes. I don't knit or crochet, but even I can see how crazy it is to either have stitch markers laying around the table top or finding them in the sofa cushions. The dishes started out as stitch marker holders.

But since then, they have been adopted as ring dishes, notion plates, key dishes and on and on. Unlike our Obvara, Raku and Carbon decorated dishes, these stoneware dishes are perfect safe to use with food. They are also microwavable and top shelf safe in dishwashers. So sauce, salt, medications all are fine to use with these plates from our Hobnob Collection.

Oh, about the lack of a "foot" on the plate and having it rock gently as you use it, it's by design and the reason we started to call them "rockin' diddles." Not everything has to be completely serious. We make these dishes to be useful and fun.

The plates are about3 1/2 inches, depending on the shape. They are slightly smaller than our Obvara, Raku and Carbon decorated versions.
