Why this plate earns its place
At 75mm (3 inches), these Aurora Lapis trays are the smallest in the range—designed for moments where the plate itself is part of the experience. Amuse-bouches, tasting spoons, individual canapés, or delicate plated garnishes all deserve a dedicated surface. Fired from alumina vitrified ceramic, they're extraordinarily durable for their size: no chipping, no crazing, no thermal stress even through aggressive dishwashing.
Lapis is a professional blue—not bright or cartoon-like, but considered and sophisticated. It's subtle enough not to overshadow what you're serving, yet distinctive enough to signal quality and intention. The colour sits perfectly in fine-dining contexts or any setting where every detail of the table is curated.
The nesting design is practical: a 12-pack of these small trays takes up almost no pass space, yet each one is rigid enough to be picked up by hand without flexing. For high-end service where you're running 8+ courses or a tasting experience, having 12 of these in ready reach changes how smoothly the service flows. They're also excellent for garnish and mise plating on the pass—sauces, microgreens, final touches all have a dedicated home.
