Marumitsu Poterie Barbarie Plate

Because this plate features a matte glaze, it is more susceptible to metal marks from stainless steel cutlery than a high-gloss finish. We recommend using wooden or melamine utensils if you are concerned about surface scratches, though many users find that these marks add to the plate's rustic, lived-in character over time.

Reduction firing creates a unique atmosphere in the kiln that results in subtle variations in the depth and tone of the navy glaze. Because of this artisanal process, no two plates are identical; you can expect slight differences in color intensity and texture across your set.

While the Barbarie plate has a sophisticated, artisanal aesthetic, it is crafted from durable porcelain designed for regular use. Its 24.5 cm diameter makes it a practical size for main courses, and it is robust enough to handle daily dining.

The organic, flower-like silhouette is designed to be elegant without sacrificing functionality. The plates are stackable, though the slightly irregular edges mean they may not sit as perfectly flush as standard circular dinnerware.

Yes, this porcelain plate is dishwasher and microwave safe. However, to preserve the integrity of the matte glaze and prevent potential chipping, we recommend hand washing when possible and avoiding extreme temperature shocks.
