A lovely little side-plate in the Rise & Shine design from Emma Bridgewater, this piece is perfect for serving toast at breakfast, finger sandwiches at teatime, or an afternoon snack. Measuring 6½ inches in diameter, the plate is the perfect size for serving small portions of food, and breakfast accompaniments.

The plate showcases a gorgeous illustration from Matthew Rice; featuring a golden hen perched in the centre, with the words ‘EARLY TO RISE’ written around the rim in the stylish black toast font, bringing a touch of the country farm to the kitchen table.

The handsome plate brings a breath of air to the dining table and would make a lovely gift for newly-weds, a house-warming present, or simply for someone who loves good china, perhaps for Easter or Mother’s Day.
