Why this bowl earns its place
The smaller sibling in the Maham Studio Spice collection, these 127 mm trays are the sweet spot for plating and service. The vitrified stoneware captures hand-thrown ceramics' warmth and imperfection while delivering industrial durability. The unglazed saffron (warm yellow) exterior and reactive-glaze interior mean each tray has character; they get more beautiful with age and use, not worse. Built by Maham Anjum to work in restaurants, hotels, and high-volume kitchens, they don't compromise on design for durability—they achieve both.
At 127 mm, these trays excel at plated courses, small tasting components, sides, or bread service. They're small enough to feel refined on the plate, substantial enough to carry real portions. Vitrified stoneware resists staining, won't absorb flavours or smells, and handles acidic foods, heat, and constant washing without complaint. The material only improves with use—developing a subtle patina that signals a kitchen that values good tools.
These trays stack efficiently for storage and washing. Fully dishwasher safe at any temperature, they need no hand-washing or special care. Supplied in a pack of 12, they're ready for multi-cover service, collection-building, or to replace worn stock. Whether you're running a busy fine-dining kitchen, plating in a café, or building a cohesive table presentation, the Spice collection works.
