Product Description
The Rene Ozorio Wabi Sabi flat rimmed bowl is a hand-glazed, double-fired porcelain piece finished in a deep slate tone. Designed by leading Thai tableware designer Rene Ozorio and produced by Steelite, the Wabi Sabi range draws on the Japanese aesthetic of finding beauty in natural imperfection — each piece carries subtle variation in its glaze that gives the range its distinctive character. Supplied in packs of six, these bowls are intended for professional table settings rather than casual or domestic use.
In a service environment, the double-fired porcelain construction offers the kind of durability that front-of-house teams rely on through heavy cover counts. The flat rimmed profile is practical for plating — it gives chefs a defined canvas for composed dishes while the broad 210mm diameter suits starter portions, small plates, and sharing formats comfortably. The slate finish presents well under both warm restaurant lighting and cooler contemporary settings.
- Hand-glazed finish with natural tonal variation across each piece
- Flat rimmed profile suitable for plated starters and small plate formats
- Double-fired porcelain construction for durability in daily service
- Slate colourway works across a range of table styling directions
- Supplied as a pack of six, practical for batch replacement or initial cover builds
As with all hand-finished tableware, the glaze variation means no two pieces are identical — this is a deliberate characteristic of the range rather than a quality inconsistency. Operators should bear this in mind when building large cover sets, as pieces from different production batches may show slightly different tonal depth. Steelite's production standards are consistent, but natural variation is inherent to the hand-glazed process.
This bowl is well suited to independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and contemporary dining venues where tableware presentation is considered part of the overall guest experience. It is less suited to high-turnover casual dining where plain white or more robust everyday ranges may offer better value at scale.
If you're building a full cover set or need guidance on quantities and batch consistency, we're happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It is entirely intentional. The Wabi Sabi range is hand-glazed, and the natural variation in tone and finish across individual pieces is central to the design philosophy of the range. Operators should expect subtle differences between bowls rather than a uniform appearance.
- Steelite produces its tableware to commercial service standards, and the double-fired porcelain construction is suited to regular machine washing. That said, we'd recommend confirming compatibility with your specific dishwasher chemistry and cycle temperatures if you have concerns about glaze longevity over time.
- As a general guide, most operators work to a minimum of 1.5 to 2 times their seated cover count to allow for items in service, in the wash, and in reserve. If you're unsure of the right quantity for your operation, we're happy to advise based on your cover numbers and service style.
