These porcelain pieces were fired at the Kristoff workshop in Valbrich, Poland, one of the oldest and grandest porcelain workshops in the world. Kristoff began making porcelain in 1831 and its work can be found in museums and in the palaces of royalty. Our porcelain designs are in-glaze, which means slightly melted into the surface of the piece, to ensure a beautiful crisp image for years to come. Photo by Porcelana Krzysztof Sp. z o.o.

I love these plates! But I noticed all the other plates have a black cat, nonchalantly sitting amongst the chaos. However Plate #5 does not have a cat. I don’t think the angry beast at the 9 o’clock mark is the same as the mellow cat. Where did it go?
The in-glaze process used in the series 2 plates (designs 1 through 4) sounds like a nice idea, but in practice I'm finding that it doesn't hold up to normal wear. My plates #5 and #6 are rapidly developing scratches in just a few short months of use, where the older plates #1 through #4 show no signs of wear. I anticipate I'll be discarding #5, #6, and #7 in the near future (when they're just too scratched up to keep using) and cancelled my order for #8. The new glaze is probably better than the old if you're going to hang them on the wall for decoration (since the decoration is less raised, and the plate has a smoother surface), but not if you plan to eat off them. If you intend to actually use the plates, you might want to stick to #1 through #4.
I love, love, love the design. The idea! I would own *all the plates* but for the fact that the two of this design that I own both chipped egregiously with common use within a week of receipt. It's sad... I wanted these plates so so so badly, but I can't justify spending so much on something that's going to be quit so fragile.
This plate and all the other Calamityware dishes are great for everyday use and can be used for fine dining too.
I really enjoy Calamityware!
I have added the Pirate plate to my small (but growing) collection of Calamity ware that is replacing the boring white plates that are now garage sale inventory. Quality is great and the plates are very enjoyable.
We have all of the second series of Calamityware plates, love them all, but my personal favorite is the pirates. Once revealed half through the meal, this plate inevitably causes on outpouring of pirate-like cries: "Arghh, me hearties, pass mez the broccoli or else youse'll walk the plank!" and similar. Highly recommended for those with a naughty nautical disposition.
To the tune of Gilbert and Sullivan's " A modern Major General" from the Pirates of Penzance :
This is the very model of the pirates all fantastical,
Informative of vegetable, animal and mineral,
Seurat, A Sunday Afternoon, a park, its quite historical,
From La Grande Jatte displayed the order's categorical.
It picturizes love between avian-french-bull-dog-able
Though delft in color boarders are actually mathematical
About the binary theme its teeming with a fantasy
With many cheerful facts about the plot of all humanity
For all of its complexity,
the Hidden and plain to see
Its there for both you and me
Its theme is a calamity
but I love them already. :-) I ordered 2 sets of 4 plates and 2 platters. I can't wait to use them at my next dinner party in a few weeks! I'll post photos here.
In our house this is the Ateez plate. It comes in second after the Stray Kids - S Class plate (tentacles).
I am building a set, so have put an extensive review on the Flying Monkeys plate item. These are absolutely the best!
