Why this plate earns its place
The Cardamom variant of the Maham Spice collection steps up to full service scale: 152mm diameter trays that work as main-course plates, substantial appetiser bases, or the foundation for a composed plating. Like the rest of the line, they're vitrified stoneware with an unglazed exterior and a coloured reactive glaze inside—but here, the green colour adds a natural, contemporary elegance that reads well under contemporary restaurant lighting and in both casual and fine-dining contexts.
At full plate size, these trays become your primary plating surface, not a component piece. The green colour is sophisticated and distinct—warm enough to complement a wide range of proteins and vegetables, cool enough that it never reads as cartoonish. The unglazed finish gives the terracotta-inspired aesthetic, while the reactive glaze inside adds subtle visual interest and ensures food safety. The 30mm rim is proportionate to the size, making the pieces feel balanced rather than oversized. Vitrified stoneware means they're built to survive hundreds of dishwash cycles, and they stack cleanly for storage.
The Cardamom colourway works particularly well in farm-to-table and contemporary restaurants where green signals freshness and sustainability. It's equally at home in hotels, catering, and boutique dining where plate colour is considered part of the dining experience. Sold in packs of 12, giving you full rotation for a typical service and backup for multi-course meals where plating follows plating.
