Calamityware Plate 8: Vortex

You know that sinking feeling when everything seems to be swirling down the drain? Well, now you can experience that calamitous sensation at meal times. In this design the entire landscape is bending into the insistent spin of a turbulent vortex.

Rich blue image on 10.5” (26.5 cm) diameter white porcelain dinner plates. Food safe. Microwave safe. Dishwasher safe. Produced at the award-winning Kristoff porcelain workshop in Poland using the in-glaze decoration process. That means the image is slightly melted into the surface like the fine porcelain you see in museums. This is the 8th plate in the Calamityware collection. Designed by Don Moyer and initially launched as a Kickstarter project in 2015.

Remember, all Calamityware plate designs are different—different borders, different images, and sometimes slightly different blues because the plates were fired at different times. They will look good together on your table or wall, but they won't be identical. If you are obsessive about matching, you should order multiple plates of the same design.

Porcelain is both delicate and durable. We think you’ll enjoy Don’s blog about caring for your new treasures.
