Portuguese Stoneware Dinner Plate with Côa Reactive Glaze (Ø 28 cm)

A striking yet understated tableware piece, designed to elevate every dish, from everyday casual meals to special occasions. The Côa Dinner Plate (also suitable as a serving plate, main course plate, handcrafted stoneware plate, or dinner plate for special occasions) celebrates the excellence and tradition of handmade ceramics from Portugal.

With a generous 28 cm diameter, a height of 2.2 cm, and a solid weight of 900 g, this plate offers the perfect surface for presenting impressive first courses, meat or fish main courses, and elaborate culinary creations. High-temperature firing ensures a smooth finish and excellent everyday durability. Each piece is unique: the tones vary organically between shades of grey and evocative blue/light blue undertones, the result of natural mineral reactions during firing. This chromatic variation is not a defect, but rather the hallmark of authentic craftsmanship inspired by wabi-sabi, japandi, and slow living.
