Miniature Hand-Thrown Tiny Plate with Spiral – 2½″ Stoneware Dish in Warm Honey Glaze

Dimensions: Approx. 2½″ wide
Listing is for one miniature plate

Simple, earthy, and endlessly versatile, this miniature hand-thrown spiral plate brings warmth and artisan detail to even the smallest spaces. Measuring just 2½ inches across, this tiny dish is ideal as a ring dish, tea bag holder, salt pinch bowl, incense plate, or simply a decorative piece that lives on a shelf, nightstand, or windowsill.

Each plate is hand-thrown on the pottery wheel in our Colorado studio using our custom-mixed clay and small-batch glazes. Finished in a golden honey glaze with a subtle swirl detail in the center, this piece reflects our love of earthy tones and timeless form. The swirling center is not just decorative—it’s a nod to the handmade process, revealing the path of the potter’s hand and the spin of the wheel.

All of our work is crafted start-to-finish in our studio. You can learn more about our handmade process here:

A Small Plate With Big Purpose

Though petite in size, these tiny dishes are surprisingly useful. Customers love them for:

• Holding rings or earrings beside the sink or on a dresser

• Serving tea bags or sugar cubes for an elevated tea service

• Displaying crystals, incense cones, or herbs on an altar

• Offering tasting samples or salt at the table

• Resting chopsticks, spoons, or used teabags

Each piece is shaped by hand, meaning no two are exactly alike. Slight variations in diameter, thickness, and swirl pattern are part of the charm. The glaze ranges from golden ochre to deeper honey brown, with subtle movement in tone and occasional touches of iron spotting, depending on the kiln atmosphere.

The spiral design in the center of each dish is carved or impressed while the clay is still damp—an homage to the throwing process and the motion of the wheel itself. Once bisque-fired, each plate is dipped in our warm-toned glaze and high-fired to over 2200°F to ensure durability and food safety.
