Pandora Side Plate, Cobalt Blue Set of 4

£110

Materials
Fine European Earthernware
Width
20.5 cm

The same bold bloom and sweeping fern of Caldas da Rainha, on a side plate where the scalloped cobalt rim does the work of a frame around a painting that already knows its own mind.

Seven centuries of blue and white tradition distilled to this scale — and nothing is lost. The bloom holds the centre, the fern still moves, the scalloped rim still traces the edge with the unhurried confidence of a hand that has done this since before anyone was keeping count.
JJ places this set of 4 side plate beside the dinner plate, or alone on a kitchen wall for decoration

Inspiration
There is a village above Caldas da Rainha where the road narrows to a single track and the workshops have no signs, because the people who need to find them already know where they are.

JJ found one on a Tuesday in October, following the smell of a kiln. Inside, a painter was working a scroll across a plate with the unhurried certainty of someone who has never once considered doing anything else. The pattern was Moorish in origin — eight centuries old, give or take — she knew it was the right pattern.
Collectors Questions

Q: I only need side plates — are they sold as complete sets on their own?


A: Side plates are sold and available as their own set of four. The word "side plate" undersells them — they work brilliantly as bread plates, dessert plates, and serving dishes for small bites. A set of four at the centre of a table with cheese and fruit is a complete thing in itself.

Q: Are they dishwasher safe?


A: Yes, on a low-temperature or eco cycle (ideally ≤30–45°C) with a mild, non-aggressive detergent, and with heated drying switched off. Hand-washing is still the preferable routine for long-term durability, particularly for pieces with fine painted or gilded detail.

Q: Do the side plates match the dinner plates from the same collection exactly?


A: Where a matching dinner plate exists within the same collection — such as the Cara Shell or Camilla pairs — both are drawn from the same glaze and pattern, so they're designed to sit together as one setting. That said, mixing different designs across the Casa by JJ range is always encouraged.

Q: Are side plates a good starting point for someone new to a collection?


A: Yes — a set of four side plates is a versatile way to bring a pattern into daily use before deciding whether to add the dinner plate or bowls from the same design.

Q: Are these a suitable wedding or housewarming gift?


A: A set of four distinctive side plates is one of the more considered gifts you can give — something the recipient will use and notice every time, and won't already own. A handwritten note is available at checkout.
