Know before you buy
Each plate measures 140mm, or approximately 5.51 inches, in diameter. This size is specifically designed for appetizers, small snacks, or individual dessert servings.
Yes, these ceramic plates are glazed and suitable for everyday use in both the microwave and dishwasher. We recommend handling them with care to preserve the integrity of the delicate pastel finish.
The rippled texture is smooth and glazed, which prevents food from getting trapped in the grooves. They clean just as easily as a standard smooth plate.
Because these plates are crafted using traditional Japanese techniques, you may notice subtle variations in the pastel glaze. This is a hallmark of the artisanal process and adds to the unique character of each piece.
Each plate has a height of 38mm. The slight depth makes them versatile enough to hold items with a bit of sauce or crumbly textures that might otherwise slide off a flat saucer.
