Plates

The plate is the foundation of the table — everything else is arranged around it. At Lulu and Georgia, the plates collection brings together dinner plates, salad and dessert plates, and side plates in ceramic, stoneware, earthenware, and porcelain from designers and artisan makers who approach tableware as an object of craft. Solid glazes and patterned options in a palette calibrated to mix across colorways and collections rather than requiring a matched set to work well.

What types of plates does Lulu and Georgia carry?

The collection covers dinner plates in standard (10–11 inch) and larger formats, salad and appetizer plates (7–9 inch), dessert and bread plates, and side plates. Materials span glazed and reactive-glaze stoneware, hand-painted and slip-decorated ceramic, fine porcelain, and earthenware. Brands include Casafina, SIN Ceramics, Crow Canyon Home, and other curated tableware makers. Many styles are available by the piece, in sets of 2 or 4, or as part of broader dinnerware collections.

How do I mix and match plates from different collections?

The most reliable approach is to mix within a shared color register — plates of similar tone but different pattern or texture read as intentionally eclectic rather than mismatched. A reactive-glaze stoneware dinner plate in warm white pairs easily with a hand-painted salad plate in a similar neutral. Avoid mixing plates of very different weights or material quality in the same stack; the visual contrast of thin porcelain next to thick rustic earthenware tends to read as a mismatch rather than a mix.

Are the plates at Lulu and Georgia dishwasher-safe?

Most stoneware and porcelain plates in the collection are dishwasher-safe. Hand-painted, gold-lustered, and reactive-glaze pieces may require hand-washing to preserve the finish — this is noted on individual product pages. For plates used daily, stoneware is among the most practical options: chip-resistant, broadly dishwasher-safe, and available in finishes that develop character with use rather than showing wear.
