A flat glazed plate about eight inches across, with a shallow well and a slight lip. Ceramic plates sit socially between the trencher of stale bread that a labourer eats from and the pewter of a prosperous household — cheap enough for a guildsman’s table, fine enough that a set of them matched in colour is worth remarking on. They stack, they wash clean, and they break.
