Gustavsberg Dart Plate 19.5 cm cake plate

This is a 19cm size cake plate from the Dirt series by Gustavsberg, a traditional Swedish pottery maker. Dirt is a rare stoneware among Gustavsberg products. Stoneware is made with an intermediate method between pottery and porcelain, and has the characteristics of both.

Pottery is porous and thick, and heavy pottery that sometimes exposes the soil underneath. Porcelain, on the other hand, is a thin, light and glossy vessel that is glazed on the entire surface and fired at a high temperature.

Stoneware uses pottery materials and is fired at a temperature of 1200°C, which is the same as porcelain. The entire surface is glazed, and the thick wall makes it extremely durable. Dirt is a tableware with a light blue hand-painted line surrounding a thick body, giving lightness to the rugged and heavy texture of stoneware. This series was produced until 1987 after the death of Stig Lindberg, and is a work of his later years. It's easy to use, and even if it's handled roughly, it's sturdy, and it's the shopkeeper's favorite item.
