Merapi Ceramic Rectangular Appetizer Plate – Cocoa Brown & Smoked Black (25.9 x 15.5 cm)

A striking, textured serving tray designed to enhance your culinary creations with a strong visual impact and earthy elegance. The Merapi Rectangular Plate (which can be used as a ceramic sushi and tapas tray, layered appetizer serving plate, finger food and dessert tray, or Wabi-Sabi and Japandi-style artisanal tableware) combines a bold tactile presence with the versatility of contemporary table settings.

Measuring 25.9 cm long, 15.5 cm wide, 2 cm high, and weighing a balanced 650 g, this plate offers an elongated, well-proportioned surface. Crafted from high-strength ceramic, it features a special artisanal glaze that gradually transitions from smoky black to deep earthy brown. The delicately textured, raised surface adds dimension to food presentation, making the colors of the food stand out. Shaped and glazed by hand, each tray features subtle tonal variations and distinctive imperfections that ensure its absolute uniqueness. It pairs perfectly with rustic wooden tables, raw linen runners, brass cutlery, and other pieces from the Merapi collection, fitting seamlessly into wabi-sabi, japandi, earthy-modern, dark-chic, and quiet luxury interiors.
