Signature Plates

Whether it's a Wedding, Civil Partnership, Christening, Retirement or Birthday, a signature plate is a lovely commemoration that you will treasure!

Our Signature plates are a wonderful way to remember your special day and all your guests' good wishes. Of course you don't need to be restricted to plates!  We have used fruit bowls, tea pots, piggy banks and more for signature items and they all look fabulous! Have a look at our gallery.

How does it work?

1. Oven-Fire Method

With this technique, your pottery will be painted, glazed and fired before your event. Guests will be able to sign it with a special pen. Once the event is over you can bake the pottery in your home oven to fix the messages.

2. Kiln-Fire Method

With this technique, your pottery will be painted and fired before your event but not glazed (ie the surface will be rough and not shiny). Guests can write on your pottery with the provided permanent marker or a biro. Once the event is over, the pottery is returned to Phoenix Ceramics where our artists handpaint over every individual message before hand-glazing and firing your plate.

Either way, the end result is an exceptional memento of your day that will be admired and treasured for a lifetime.

We are truly delighted with our Christening plate and used it recently at Benedict's first birthday party. We covered the plate with cupcakes and, as they were eaten by our guests, the signatures and well-wishes were gradually revealed. Everyone was really interested and excited - it was quite a talking point ! We will probably hang the plate on our nursery wall but intend to use it at special occasions"
