Why this chefs plate earns its place
These rectangular plates are sized for plated mains or family-style sharing. At 300 mm wide and 199 mm deep, they're generous enough to compose a full course without crowding, yet narrow enough to move smoothly through a pass or onto the table. The oblong shape is especially practical for composed plating where you're building asymmetry on purpose—proteins on one end, vegetables on the other, sauce drawn along the edge—or for family-style boards where cheese, fruit, or charcuterie needs space to breathe.
Each plate is hand-decorated using traditional pottery firing techniques, meaning the glaze varies slightly from piece to piece. That handcrafted quality reads as intentional and professional, never mass-produced. In agate grey, the colour is neutral enough to sit behind any food without competing, while the speckled finish gives it visual depth—the hand-finished aesthetic doesn't flatten the table like solid-colour ware can. Porcelain is the working default: it's hard enough for knives and high-speed washing, glazed evenly for clean plating, and it doesn't absorb stain or odour the way unglazed ceramics do.
A 6-pack gives you one set on the pass and a second cycling through wash in a regular service rhythm. Stackable design keeps your pass storage compact and your dishwasher racks efficient. Dishwasher-safe through commercial cycles, the glaze is stable and will withstand the velocity of a busy kitchen without degrading or leaching.
