The Girl and the Boat - Plate & Book Set
This set brings together The Girl and the Boat, a wordless picture book by Julia Allisson Cost, and a matching Hadley plate made just for this project.
The story follows a little girl who finds a boat in a field of wildflowers, carries it home, and sets off into a world of imagination and change. Each page is a full oil painting, made from life. In some scenes, you’ll spot Hadley pieces from Julia’s own childhood kitchen.
The plate shows the girl with her boat, painted in Hadley’s familiar blue and ringed in sky. It’s a small tribute to the story’s quiet beauty, and to the pottery that’s been part of Julia’s family for generations.
Made for shelves, gifts, or keeping close at hand.
Book: 11.25 inch x 11.25 inch x .375 inch book. The cover is a cloth-textured hardcover. 44 pages. Oil painting illustrations on every page.
Plate: 9 inch diameter, Hadley Pottery's lunch plate. Pattern inspired by The Girl and the Boat by Julia Allison Cost.
