Maham Studio Spice Sea Salt Elevated Platform 152.5mm (Box 12)

The Maham Studio Spice Sea Salt Elevated Platform is a vitrified stoneware serving piece designed by chef and food writer Maham Anjum. The collection draws on the visual character of hand-thrown terracotta — an unglazed exterior finish paired with a reactive coloured glaze on the interior — while being produced in a fully vitrified body suited to the demands of commercial foodservice. This platform variant adds a slightly raised profile, making it a practical choice for structured plating and small-dish presentation.

In a restaurant or hotel dining environment, the elevated form allows dishes to sit slightly proud of the table or tray surface, which works well for sharing plates, bar snacks, or composed small bites where visual presentation is part of the service offering. The vitrified stoneware construction means the pieces can withstand the rigours of regular commercial use — repeated washing, handling, and stacking — without the fragility associated with genuinely hand-thrown earthenware.

Practical considerations for operators include:

• Vitrified stoneware body — more durable and less porous than standard terracotta
• Reactive glaze interior adds visual interest whilst remaining functional for food contact
• Sold in boxes of 12, which suits both initial setup and ongoing replacement purchasing
• The Sea Salt colourway sits within the broader Maham Studio Spice range, making it straightforward to build a consistent tabletop across multiple piece types

As a flatware serving piece rather than a deep bowl or plate, this platform is best suited to dry or semi-dry food items. Operators should consider the unglazed exterior finish when thinking about cleaning protocols — a glazed base or suitable mat may be worth using to protect table surfaces and simplify front-of-house maintenance.

This piece suits restaurants, hotels, and bar operations looking to add considered tabletop styling without straying into purely decorative territory. If you are building out a larger tabletop programme or need guidance on which pieces within the range work well together, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to quantities.
