Why this plate earns its place
The Raku collection draws from Japanese ceramic traditions, translated here into commercial-grade porcelain. At 192 mm, these are bread and side plates — the first course or accompaniment piece that frames the table narrative.
Quartz black reads as intentional, not austere. It anchors bread service, salad sides, or cheese progression courses without competing with the main plate or drawn the eye downward. Porcelain construction at 0.36 kg per plate sits in standard commercial gauge; the triangular profile is stable in hand and stacks efficiently. The glaze cures with the body in the kiln, so there is no applied finish to separate or chip unpredictably.
At 192 mm, twelve plates occupy minimal pass-through footprint — stackable and sorted from the dishwasher in seconds. Triangular geometry extends across all Raku sizes, so mixing 192 mm sides with 265 mm mains creates visual consistency without forcing a monolithic plate stack. Quartz black glaze tolerates standard dishwasher temperatures (80–90 °C) without risk.
