Know before you buy
While the matte finish is durable, dark ceramic glazes can occasionally show light surface marks from stainless steel utensils over time. Using standard cutlery is perfectly fine, but you may notice faint lines with heavy, repetitive use.
No, this plate is not suitable for oven use or direct heat. It is designed specifically for serving and can be safely used in the microwave for reheating food.
The plate features a depth of 4.5 cm, which provides a generous basin. It is ideal for pasta, risottos, or dishes with sauces, as the rim is designed to contain liquids effectively.
Yes, the Yoshizawa Charcoal Western Oval Plate is dishwasher safe. Its ceramic construction is durable enough for regular cleaning in your dishwasher.
The fluttering rim adds a decorative, antique-inspired texture, but the plates are designed to stack securely. While they may take up slightly more horizontal space than a standard round plate, they nest well for convenient storage.
