Design notebook: Plates by Toast and V&A stationary Plates of toast The first thing that caught my attention about this range of ceramic tableware from Toast was the colour palette of the glazes: a sophisticated mixture of subdued, slightly sludgy hues such as olive (not just green) and chalk (not white). The pieces - including mugs (£25), soup bowls (£27.50) and dinner plates (£34) - are handmade and so bear slight inconsistencies (toast.co.uk).
