Sandwich Plates

The 20cm (8 inch) variant reviewed here is the standard choice for afternoon tea — large enough for two or three finger sandwiches, a napkin, and a small garnish. For half sandwiches or larger portions, the 23cm variant (£28.99 for six) gives more space. The 15cm (£15.99 for six) is best reserved for small pastries or bread rolls.

Yes — the porcelain is fired to a maximum temperature of 1300 degrees Celsius during manufacture, making it safe for domestic oven use. The listing also confirms dishwasher, microwave, and freezer safety. Reviewer feedback confirms no staining or dulling after repeated oven and dishwasher cycles.

Yes — the listing explicitly states lead and cadmium free certification. This is an important food-safety distinction for ceramic tableware and is not universal at this price point. The glaze is also smooth and non-porous, preventing food odours from being absorbed between uses.

Reviewer feedback consistently describes the plates as durable. High-fire porcelain (fired to 1300 degrees Celsius) is denser and harder than lower-fired alternatives and resists chipping better under everyday use. The smooth glaze is also described as scratch resistant in the listing specifications.

Yes — the 15cm, 20cm, and 23cm variants all share the same white glaze and design, so they coordinate naturally. A common afternoon tea arrangement is to use 20cm plates for savoury sandwich courses and the 15cm plates for dessert or petit fours, with all plates matching visually on the table.
