Product Description
The Rene Ozorio Wabi Sabi collection from Steelite is a range of hand-glazed, double-fired porcelain tableware designed for operators who want their plating to carry as much presence as the food itself. Each piece is finished with a distinctive glaze that produces natural tonal variation, meaning no two plates look exactly alike — a deliberate characteristic of the Wabi Sabi aesthetic, which draws on the Japanese appreciation of imperfection and individuality. These 152mm coupe plates in Indigo are a compact format suited to starters, desserts, amuse-bouche, and small plate menus.
In service, the double-fired porcelain construction holds up to the demands of a working pass and repeated dishwasher cycles without the glaze fading or crazing in the way that lower-quality decorative tableware often does. The coupe profile — flat with a gently raised rim — gives chefs a clean canvas for presentation without sauce pooling or awkward depth. At 152mm, these sit comfortably between a side plate and a full starter plate, which makes them a useful format for tasting menus or sharing concepts.
- Hand-glazed finish produces natural tonal variation that enhances visual presentation
- Double-fired construction supports durability through repeated service and warewashing
- Coupe profile provides a flat, clean surface well suited to considered plating
- Indigo glaze works across a range of interior schemes from industrial to refined
- Pack of 12 provides a practical quantity for consistent front-of-house sets
Because these are hand-finished pieces, there will be visible variation within a batch — this is inherent to the collection and should be considered when planning table settings. Operators who prefer strict uniformity across covers may find a machine-finished range more appropriate. Stock availability can also vary on hand-crafted lines, so it is worth confirming quantities ahead of a full rollout.
The Wabi Sabi Indigo coupe plate suits independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and chef-led dining concepts where individuality in tableware is valued. For larger banqueting operations requiring close plate matching across high volumes, a standard production range may be a more practical choice.
If you are building a full table setting around this collection or want to discuss how the range works in practice, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Because each plate is hand-glazed, colour and texture will vary naturally across a batch — this is a defining characteristic of the Wabi Sabi collection rather than a quality issue. Most chef-led and contemporary dining operators find this variation adds to the appeal, but operators running formal banqueting or requiring close visual uniformity across large cover counts should consider whether a machine-finished alternative would be more appropriate.
- Double firing improves the bond between the glaze and the body of the plate, which helps resist crazing, chipping, and colour loss over time compared with single-fired decorative ware. That said, as with any hand-finished tableware, using a commercial glasswasher rather than a high-temperature industrial tunnel washer and avoiding stacking too heavily will extend the life of the glaze.
- At 152mm, this plate sits comfortably in the starter and small plate range — well suited to amuse-bouche, pre-desserts, petit fours, or sharing concept dishes where a side plate would feel too plain and a full starter plate too large. It is also a popular choice for tasting menus where a sequence of smaller formats is used to vary the table experience across courses.
