We see this as the perfect sandwich plate for an afternoon tea in the sun or making buttered toast feel like a life goal on a sunny morning. A great gift for anyone with a love of Dahlias (which is everyone).

Offering a smaller moment for the table but packing a big beautiful punch, this Maria Flor dessert plate brings the gentle and much loved form of the dahlia into everyday use. Softly frayed edges and subtle floral detailing give the plate a sculptural quality, while the muted pink glaze keeps it looking classy and calmly and considered rather than decorative for decoration’s sake.

Made in Portugal using traditional ceramic techniques, it’s perfectly sized for desserts, pastries, or a slice of something homemade. Layered with the dinner plate or mixed across the Maria Flor range, it adds texture and warmth without feeling precious.
