Why this plate earns its place
The Maham Studio Spice collection delivers restaurant-grade serving trays with artisanal character. At 152 mm diameter, these round trays are the working size—large enough for serious portions, small enough to move easily between covers. The vitrified stoneware is built to survive constant washing and service; the unglazed exterior and reactive-glaze interior give each tray warmth and visual depth. The saffron (warm yellow) tone works across casual and formal table presentations.
What makes the Spice collection stand apart is the design philosophy. Maham Anjum created these to capture hand-thrown ceramics' beauty and imperfection while delivering the resilience commercial kitchens need. Vitrified stoneware resists staining, won't absorb flavours or odours, and handles acidic foods and hot service without concern. Unlike regular ceramic, it gets better-looking with age and use, developing a patina that adds character rather than damage.
These trays stack efficiently—crucial for kitchens managing multiple covers. No fidgeting with complicated nesting; you stack them, store them, pull them for service. They're fully dishwasher safe at commercial temperatures, so there's no hand-washing overhead. Supplied in a pack of 12, these are ready to deploy across multiple tables or to replace worn stock entirely.
