"Black Pearl" Ceramic Square Dinner Plate

Some plates disappear beneath the food. This one becomes part of it.

Fired in a reactive glaze that shifts between deep obsidian and silver-grey, the Black Pearl plate carries the quiet drama of something forged rather than made. No two pieces are identical — the speckled surface catches light differently depending on the angle, the hour, the dish placed upon it.

The squared form with softly curved corners sits with authority on any table. It is the kind of plate that makes simple food look considered, and considered food look extraordinary.

For sushi, starters, mains, or anything that deserves a stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is it made of?

It is made from ceramic with a reactive glaze finish. The reactive glaze creates a black pearl effect — deep obsidian tones with natural grey, bronze, and silver variations that shift depending on the light and angle. No two pieces are identical.

What sizes are available?

It is available in two sizes: Starter (15.5 cm) and Dinner (21 cm). Both have the same squared form with softly curved corners.

Will my plate look exactly like the photo?

The reactive glaze creates natural variations in tone and pattern between pieces — grey, silver, and bronze tones are a natural characteristic of the firing process, not defects. The overall aesthetic will be consistent, but each plate is unique.

Is it dishwasher safe?

Yes — it is dishwasher safe. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the reactive glaze finish for longer.

What food works best on it?

The dark surface creates a striking contrast with light-coloured foods — sushi, sashimi, white fish, pasta, or any plated dish benefits from the dramatic backdrop. It also works beautifully for starters, sharing plates, and desserts.

Is it a good gift?

Yes — a reactive glaze ceramic plate with such a distinctive finish makes a striking and lasting gift for anyone who loves considered tableware or Japanese-inspired dining. It arrives ready to gift.
