Why this chefs plate earns its place
The Raku collection brings traditional studio pottery glazing to side-plate service. These smallest rectangular plates work as bread plates, butter service, or appetiser plates—compact enough not to clutter the table, sized precisely for bread roll and butter or a small opening course.
The handcrafted topaz blue glaze carries heritage forward: not a uniform production finish, but a considered glazing technique that reads as craft. That matters in fine dining and quality-conscious operations where every piece contributes to the experience. Porcelain body is inherently durable in commercial use, standing up to high-temperature washing without degradation. The glaze resists staining and scratching better than bare porcelain.
At 154 mm rectangular by 126 mm deep, these plates are compact without feeling cramped. Lightweight (0.08 kg) makes them easy to handle through service. The topaz blue sits neutral across any menu, complementing bread, butter, appetisers, or cheese without competing visually. Packs of 12 suit the ordering rhythm for side pieces, which move through stock faster than larger plates but still need regular replacement.
