Welcome to the Picture Plates collection — the heart of Swears of Joy. These are the pieces that stop people mid-scroll, make them laugh out loud at markets, and remind everyone that vintage china doesn’t have to be polite. Each plate begins as a beautiful, pre-loved illustration: cottages, courting couples, woodland scenes, children, animals, and idyllic little moments frozen in time. Then comes the twist… a perfectly matched phrase that gives the artwork a whole new personality.

Every picture plate is handmade, one-of-a-kind, and never repeated. Once a design finds its perfect piece of china and goes to its new forever home, that’s it — no duplicates, no remakes. These make unforgettable gifts, statement wall art, or the kind of talking point that instantly tells people, “yes, I have taste… and a sense of humour.”

Explore the collection and find the plate that makes you snort-laugh, smirk, or say “oh my god, that is SO me.”
