A Side Plate Set featuring four faces from Henri Matisse’s series of aquatint portraits

A portrait in the hands of Matisse distills the essence of the subject into fluid lines, alive with quiet emotion. Alex Matisse and his creative team selected these portraits specifically as decorative decals on the Side Plate in Panna Cotta, knowing the aquatint portraits would translate well to ceramics.

Designs available in the Side Plate Set:

  • Patitcha souriante (Patitcha Smiling)
  • Nadia aux cheveux lisses (Nadia With Smooth Hair)
  • Nadia au regard sérieux (Nadia With a Serious Look)
  • Bédouine au grand voile (Bedouine With Headscarf)
Pairs with La Sirène & Black Mountain

Care Instructions: 
East Fork pottery is built for daily use—it's food-safe, non-toxic and made to last. The Matisse Collection merges art with function—use it as everyday dinnerware or display it as decorative wall hangings.

To prolong the life of your Matisse Collection pieces, we recommend hand-washing and avoiding the microwave and oven.

With constant use, plates and bowls might accumulate mild cutlery marks. These can be buffed off with warm water and scouring powder such as Bar Keeper’s Friend.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 19 reviews)

Natalie ★★★★★

The way Matisse’s fluid lines translate onto these plates is striking—each face feels almost sketched by hand. They’re a perfect size for dessert or bread, and the set adds a real artistic touch to the table.

Robert A. ★★★★★

Each face captures that loose, sketchy Matisse quality perfectly—my dinner guests kept turning the plates over to admire the linework. They’re surprisingly substantial for side plates and stack neatly without scratching.

Julian ★★★★★

The fluid lines on each plate feel almost like holding a sketchbook at the dinner table, and the four faces give great variety for everyday use. Got them as a gift and they’ve survived the dishwasher without any fading or chipping so far.
