Why this plate earns its place
A 17cm plate is the standard size for bread service or a side element in a multi-course setup. At this size, you're not trying to present main food—you're supporting it with something that needs to feel intentional rather than thrown together. Vitrified porcelain is the material choice in professional kitchens precisely because it combines a smooth glaze (easy to plate, easy to wipe) with fired hardness that survives repeated washing and stacking.
The Crème Cézanne range's subtle glaze pattern sits somewhere between plain white and busy—useful if your plating calls for texture without decoration that competes for attention. White works across almost any table concept because it lets the bread or side course read clearly.
At 17cm, these stack tightly, which saves storage space in a busy kitchen. The porcelain body is heavy enough to feel stable in a diner's hand without being unwieldy. With thousands of cycles through commercial dishwashers, the glaze stays smooth and the colour stays true.
