THE WORKING VIEW

Why this plate earns its place

At 27 cm, this coupe works where a 24 cm falls short. A single diner's plate for a large mains portion; a sharing starter for two; a dessert board; a platter for family-style service. The flat surface gives plenty of room for plating height and presentation without increasing the footprint — the curved rim keeps food secure as the plate moves through service.

Vitrified porcelain is fired at high temperature to become glass-hard and non-porous, which is why commercial kitchens favour it: it handles dishwashers at 65°C, repeated thermal shock, and years of daily use. The earthy beige finish is built into the porcelain, not a surface glaze. Stacks securely for front-of-house storage or transport.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

Yes — you get about 30% more surface area. If you're currently using 24 cm plates, a 27 cm adds room for larger portions, plating height, or deliberate negative space without changing your table aesthetics.

The curved rim is shallow but firm. Food stays contained during table service, though heavily piled plating (stacks of a side dish) should go in a bowl instead of a plate.

Yes, it's common in gastro pubs and restaurants for passing shared dishes — the coupe lip helps contain food, and the 27 cm size suits family portions.

Porcelain tolerates rapid temperature changes better than earthenware. Going from a hot pass to a cold wash cycle won't crack it, though you should avoid drastic extremes (ice water on a plate straight from the oven).

They're the same weight and glaze, but obviously different sizes. Mixing them works visually if you're alternating sizes by course, but stacking them separately keeps them organised.
