Why this plate earns its place
These 178 mm side plates occupy the supporting role in a place setting — bread, butter, or a palate refresher between courses. In finest vitrified ceramic, they shrug off the chipping and thermal shock that comes with hot food, cold service, and aggressive washing. The Norse design reads as hand-carved texture created by hand glazing and radial lines, but the in-glaze decoration sits flush to the surface for industrial toughness.
Stackability is deliberate. Round plates of this diameter stack tight into relatively shallow space, making storage and transport tractable in confined kitchens or catering rigs. The finished ceramic takes a commercial dishwasher cycle without crazing or degradation; re-glaze marks accumulate over time but the surface remains food-safe and usable for years.
At 0.331 kg per plate, the weight sits in the mid-range for vitrified ware — heavy enough to feel substantive in hand without the fatigue that comes from serving a full service with genuinely heavy plates. The white provides a neutral backdrop for plated food and mixes readily with other designs.
