Why this bowl earns its place
At 260mm, this is the statement bowl in Rene Ozorio's Wabi Sabi range. The extra diameter means you can build composition with real breathing room — sauces and elements arranged with space between them, rather than compressed into a smaller rim. The hand-glazed grey glaze frames rather than competes, giving colour on the plate room to read. At 1.08 litres, it's large enough for any main-course plating philosophy: classical plate garnish, modern negative space, or generous family-style sides.
The coupe shape matters at this scale. It's not a wide, shallow saucer; it has depth that lets you build height without visual instability. Whether you're serving a composed fish course, a leafy salad, a substantial vegetable dish, or plating for a chef's tasting — the bowl supports the work without dominating it. The hand-glazed finish brings personality that reads at distance, which counts when these are on the pass or in a dining room where the whole table sees the plate.
Steelite's porcelain quality is consistent here as in the smaller sizes, but the larger format means you get more value per piece. The 6-pack keeps kitchen logistics simple — not so many pieces that storage becomes friction, but enough rotation to keep the pass flowing through peak service. Stacking remains clean thanks to the coupe design, and commercial dishwashing doesn't compromise the glaze or the grey tone.
