Sekunden Polka Dot Mittlerer Essteller, 21,5 cm

The polka dots are crisp and evenly spaced, which makes the hand-decorated finish look almost too neat for a "seconds" item. I've been using mine daily for lunches and it's held up great in the dishwasher so far.

The hand-decorated finish is so charming in person—the polka dots have a lovely depth that photos don't quite capture. They're even prettier with a stack of golden pancakes on them, and the 8.5-inch size is just right for a hearty breakfast.

Our breakfast pancakes looked almost too good to eat on these plates, the hand-decorated dots are so neatly painted and the 8.5 inch size is just right for a hearty stack. The Stoke-on-Trent craftsmanship really shows, and they've washed up beautifully so far without a single chip.
