Stoneware plates have established themselves as the go-to choice for a table that blends living material with everyday use. Made from clay fired at high temperatures, stoneware stands out for its density, resistance to thermal shock, and its slightly textured surface that captures light differently with every serving. Unlike porcelain or earthenware, natural stoneware plates develop a visual depth unique to each piece, shaped by the variations in firing and the glazes used by the ceramicist.

This collection of 209 references is aimed at discerning tableware enthusiasts, whether they are looking for a handcrafted artisanal stoneware plate or a design line produced in a considered series. Formats include the flat plate 26-28 cm, the soup plate, the dessert plate, and the brunch format, in a palette of shades ranging from matte white to deep black, through beiges, buff stoneware tones, and reactive blue or green glazes. Among the standout pieces are the Serax plates signed by Sergio Herman, whose organic reliefs have redefined fine dining tableware, as well as the Bloomingville stoneware collections with their clean Scandinavian shapes.

Dishwasher and microwave safe for the vast majority of references, the stoneware plates in this selection move effortlessly from everyday family use to a formally set table. To refine your choice, explore the Serax Plates, the White Plates, or the Bloomingville Plates.
