Bilancia Small Flat Plate
Best elegant serveware for sophisticated dining experiences.
Perfectly scaled and quietly elegant, the Bilancia Small Flat Plate in Almond blends simplicity with function. Its soft, neutral hue enhanced by our signature hand finished Urushi matte glaze offers a perfect platform for fruit, salads, or seasonal side dishes. Crafted in Italy from fine white earthenware, it balances a minimalist sensibility with tactile warmth. Elegant in form, purposeful in design effortlessly. The Bilancia collection draws from the neo-rationalist architecture of 1960s and 1970s Milan, a movement that redefined urban space through clarity, proportion, and a return to classical typologies. This influence is evident in the collection’s disciplined geometries, measured compositions, and rigorous approach to form. Crafted by master artisans who honour nature’s raw materials through time-honoured techniques, our ceramics embody a legacy of craftsmanship. Each earthenware piece is shaped and glazed by hand, following centuries-old traditions, meticulously formed from Italian terracotta prized for its durability, warmth, and resilience.
