Why this plate earns its place
A 29cm plate is the working main course diameter — large enough for plated proteins and accompaniments without looking sparse, compact enough to move through a busy pass. Vitrified china is tougher than lower-fired ceramics and survives commercial dishwashers at high heat without degradation. The Cézanne body carries an ivory tone that softens the stark white of cheaper porcelain, and the glaze is non-porous so staining from sauces and oils does not occur.
In a kitchen where tableware is background to the food, a plain 29cm plate does its job invisibly. Stock replacement is straightforward because the Cézanne range is widely available; if a plate chips, you can order the same SKU from standard suppliers without tracking down a specific batch. The plate stacks well and washes fast.
