These simple, beautiful, and functional dinner plates are part of an entire tableware and bakeware collection designed by Sophie Conran, an English food writer with her own gourmet pie company. Conran infuses her namesake tableware with a flowing organic nature and tactile expression, as evidenced by the ridges and dipped rims that recall handcrafted pottery. Made of porcelain expressly for Portmeirion, the collection comes in white with select pieces available in cool blue celadon and a creamy biscuit color.

Each of these four 11-inch dinner plates shows the collection’s finger-ridge motif across the center as well as on the slightly wavy rim. When stacked, the plates with their uneven profiles create a rustic yet modern appeal. Durable and chip-resistant, the plates may be used to warm food in the microwave or oven, can store leftovers in the freezer, and after use, slip into the dishwasher for easy clean-up. Salad plates, soup bowls, mugs, and many accessories combine with the dinner plates to set a very compelling modern table. –Ann Bieri
