Handmade Ceramic Doorplate with Enamel Art Design Measuring 76 × 152mm
Features and Construction
Material and Build
The doorplate is constructed from fired ceramic, a material chosen for its rigidity and suitability for exterior applications. Ceramic provides a solid base that resists weathering and maintains its shape under normal outdoor conditions. The enamel decoration is applied as a glass-based coating that fuses to the ceramic surface during a high-temperature firing process, creating a durable coloured finish that complements the retro art style. This combination of materials results in a piece with both structural integrity and decorative appeal.Size and Practical Fit
With dimensions of 76 × 152mm (approximately 3 × 6 inches), this doorplate offers a practical size for house number display. The measurements provide sufficient surface area for numerals to be clearly visible from typical viewing distances, aiding property identification. This size fits comfortably on most exterior doors, door frames, or wall spaces without overwhelming the mounting surface. The rectangular proportions offer a traditional shape that works with various architectural styles while accommodating the retro enamel artwork effectively.Uses and Placement
Event or Professional Use
While primarily designed for residential use, this doorplate could serve temporary identification needs at events requiring numbered spaces or venues with multiple entrances. Its retro style might complement vintage-themed events or establishments where distinctive visual elements enhance atmosphere. The clear numerals aid wayfinding in situations where multiple properties or areas require identification, though its ceramic construction makes it better suited to permanent rather than temporary mounting in such contexts.Everyday Home Use
For residential applications, this doorplate provides a distinctive alternative to standard metal or plastic house numbers. Mounted beside your front door or on your mailbox, it helps visitors, delivery personnel, and emergency services identify your property clearly. The retro enamel art style adds decorative character to your exterior while serving the practical function of displaying your house number. The ceramic material withstands normal outdoor weather conditions when properly mounted, making it suitable for long-term exterior use.Benefits and Buying Value
Reuse and Low Maintenance
The ceramic construction with enamel finish requires minimal maintenance beyond occasional cleaning with a damp cloth. Unlike materials that may corrode, fade significantly, or degrade with weather exposure, properly fired ceramic maintains its structural integrity and the enamel retains its colour over time. This reduces the need for replacement due to material failure. Should you move homes, the doorplate can typically be removed and remounted at your new property if desired, extending its useful life beyond a single location.Why Choose This Product
This handmade ceramic doorplate distinguishes itself through its combination of traditional craftsmanship, retro enamel art style, and practical sizing. The 76 × 152mm dimensions provide optimal visibility for house numbers while fitting standard mounting spaces. The availability of all Arabic numerals (0-9) ensures you can display your exact house number, while the Flower Patch option offers a decorative alternative for those preferring ornamentation over numerals. The ceramic material offers durability for exterior use, and the handmade aspect provides character distinct from mass-produced alternatives.
