Bread plate, white porcelain | pre-order

• Pre-order: ready to ship in 4-5 weeks.
• White porcelain, lead free & food safe
• Microwave, oven, dishwasher safe
• Handmade in Italy

White porcelain bread plate (12cm-4.7'') especially designed to complement your porcelain tableware.

The clean lines of porcelain speak of sensuality, transparency and unicity but also of practicality. Oven, microwave and dishwasher safe although a gentle hand wash would be more appropriate.

Entirely crafted by hand in my studio in Italy.

Please note that each piece is one of a kind and the photos represent the general design rather than the exact piece that I'm going to ship. I make very small batches in my studio and pieces come out all different. Each one is unique and special.

TECHNIQUES & MATERIALS

The delicate look and lightweight feel is achieved by using very thin slabs of porcelain. Each piece is carefully slab built using porcelain in my studio in Italy, glazed in transparent inside, sanded smooth outside and fired twice to 1255°. Everything I use is food-safe certified for European and US standards.

The clay I use is a high quality porcelain and it has high translucency. Its colour after firing tends to a warm white.

WHY CHOOSING PORCELAIN

Porcelain is highly resistant and tends to last much better over the years than standard ceramic. That is because porcelain is denser, more uniform and harder than ceramics. It is fired to higher temperature, giving high strength to the finished product and making it more durable, most crack-resistant, almost impossible to stain, and with no absorption problems therefore completely food safe.

CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Clay is a natural and long-lasting material, therefore environmentally friendly. It is part of our tradition and history as many everyday objects were made of clay since ancient times. Since I care about environment, I use recycled packaging when possible and ask you to re-use it. 

With your purchase you help me support Greenpeace: 1% of the value of every sale will be destined to protect our planet.

Thanks for visiting my shop!
