Ceramic Doorplate with Handmade Enamel Art for House Number and Office Identification

This retro-style ceramic doorplate offers a practical and decorative solution for displaying identification numbers. Crafted from solid ceramic and finished with handmade enamel art, it provides a clear, traditional sign for houses, offices, flats, or room doors. Measuring 76mm by 152mm, it presents a standard size suitable for most entranceways. The key appeal lies in the choice of styles, allowing you to select a specific single digit from 0 to 9 or opt for a non-numeric Flower Patch design, enabling a personalised touch for your property's exterior or interior signage.

Features and Construction

This doorplate is built with straightforward, traditional materials and methods to create a functional identification sign.

Material and Build

The plate is constructed from ceramic, a material chosen for its solidity and classic appearance often associated with permanent signage. The decorative number or floral pattern is not simply printed but is applied using a handmade enamel art technique. This involves fusing coloured glass powders to the ceramic surface at high temperature, which can result in a vibrant, durable finish that is integrated into the plate itself rather than sitting on top as a sticker or transfer.

Size and Practical Fit

The doorplate has specific dimensions of 76 millimetres in width and 152 millimetres in height. This rectangular format provides a clearly legible area for the number or design. Its size makes it compatible with standard door and wall spaces typically reserved for house numbers or identification plaques, ensuring it will fit without requiring special mounting arrangements or looking disproportionately small or large on most properties.

Uses and Placement

The doorplate's primary function is clear identification, but its style offers flexibility for different settings.

Event or Professional Use

For commercial or professional settings, such as office buildings, clinics, or studio spaces, the numbered plates (Styles 0-9) provide a clear way to label individual rooms, suites, or entrances. The ceramic material and enamel finish convey a sense of permanence and professionalism, while the retro style can complement certain architectural themes or interior decors more effectively than generic modern signage.

Everyday Home Use

At home, this doorplate serves as your house number, making your property easily identifiable for visitors, delivery services, and emergency responders. The Flower Patch design offers an alternative for those who may not wish to display a number, perhaps for a garden gate, shed, or as a decorative wall plaque. The ceramic construction means it is suited for sheltered outdoor use (e.g., under a porch) as well as indoor applications on apartment doors or within a house for room numbering.

Benefits and Buying Value

The value of this product comes from its material choice, manufacturing technique, and the options provided.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

As a solid ceramic item, the doorplate is a permanent fixture. Once installed, it requires virtually no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning. The enamel design is fused into the surface, making it resistant to fading from sunlight and wear from weather or handling, which supports long-term use without the need for replacement due to deteriorated appearance.

Why Choose This Product

This doorplate is chosen for its combination of a traditional, handmade enamel technique with the practicality of a standard-sized ceramic sign. It moves away from mass-produced plastic or metal numbers by offering a craft-based aesthetic. The range of styles, encompassing all single digits and a floral design, provides genuine choice, allowing you to match the plate exactly to your needed number or preferred decorative motif, something not always available with pre-packaged number sets.
