Why this tray earns its place
The Maham Spice collection is designed by tableware specialist Maham Anjum and combines the tactile, organic warmth of hand-thrown terracotta with the reliability restaurants need. Each tray is vitrified stoneware with an unglazed exterior that reads authentic and earthy, while the interior features a coloured reactive glaze—unexpected detail that rewards a second look. At 152.5mm across and 242ml capacity, this is the largest in the range, suitable for amuse-bouches, bread, petit fours, or anything that benefits from breathing room on the plate.
The trays stack, so a 12-pack is both compact to store and flexible—lay out as many as service requires, then stack the rest. They're dishwasher safe, which means no hand-washing theatre required and no worry during service. The unglazed exterior will age and patina naturally; that's the point. Hotels and high-street restaurants use Maham Spice when they're past the white-rectangle phase but still need kit that's genuinely durable and easy to work with.
The finish and weight feel professional without fuss. This isn't decoration—it's a tray that holds food and happens to look like a considered choice. Pairs with any plating approach, from classical to modern, and works equally well in hotel fine dining or independent restaurants where the sourcing and materials matter to your clientele.
