There are 11 in this series, all the same glaze and style but all one of a kind. 1 is earthenware and 10 are stoneware so 1 has a different, less delicate feel. This one is stoneware. Have one or collect them all. Texture varies between semi and high gloss. Each changes color and shimmers in the light. Not tested for food safety. Not microwave or dishwasher safe. These are mostly decorative but can be used as special occasion plates for items that are not wet.
