MUD Ireland Side Plate

With a 20.5cm diameter, these  versatile side plates are prefect for breakfast, lunch or dinner! A handmade plate essential if you want to take your meal time to the next level! The beautiful thing about these pots is that they each have their own unique character and personality, which adds an extra dimension of satisfaction and intimacy to the way we eat, drink and live our lives.

Our Pottery is made from the purest mud in the world, Ming Porcelain. Fondly known as White Gold, this sumptuous, smooth clay is a pure white canvas, which gives a depth of colour to our glaze which is unparalleled on other clay bodies.  Although it is notoriously tricky to work with, this luxurious clay produces the most beautiful pottery!
