Merapi Square Ceramic Plate – Cocoa Brown & Ash (20.5 x 20.5 cm)

A tableware piece with a bold, tactile geometric presence, designed to bring everyday elegance and natural beauty to every table setting. The Merapi Square Plate (which can be used as a brown ceramic square dinner plate, starter tray for appetizers and snacks, dessert and cake plate, or handcrafted tableware in a Wabi-Sabi and Japandi style) transforms even the simplest portions into striking presentations.

Measuring 20.5 x 20.5 cm, with a height of 2 cm and a solid, balanced weight of 830 g, this plate features a bold square silhouette that frames food with balance and symmetry. Made from high-strength ceramic, it has a soft, mineral-like surface reminiscent of polished stone. The special handcrafted glaze in warm shades of cocoa brown and volcanic ash creates subtle, shifting color variations. Handcrafted from natural clays, each plate features slight differences in tone and texture that attest to its authenticity. It pairs perfectly with other pieces in the Merapi collection, as well as brass cutlery, smoked glasses, and raw linen table runners, fitting naturally into interiors inspired by wabi-sabi, japandi, earthy-modern, warm minimalism, and quiet luxury.
