Product Description
The Rene Ozorio Wabi Sabi coupe plate is a hand-glazed, double-fired porcelain piece from Thai designer Rene Ozorio, produced by Steelite. The Lichen colourway sits within the wider Wabi Sabi range, which draws on the Japanese aesthetic principle of finding beauty in imperfection and natural irregularity. Each plate carries subtle tonal variation as a result of the hand-glazing process, meaning no two pieces are entirely identical.
At 152mm in diameter, this coupe plate is well suited to starter portions, side dishes, amuse-bouche, or dessert plating where presentation is a priority. The coupe profile — shallow and rimless — keeps the focus on the food and gives chefs a clean canvas for considered plating. The double-fired porcelain construction provides a reasonable degree of durability in professional service, though hand-glazed decorative ware of this type is generally better suited to front-of-house dining environments than high-throughput canteen or casual dining operations where chip risk is elevated.
- Hand-glazed finish adds natural tonal variation suited to fine or contemporary dining presentation
- Coupe profile supports clean plating without a rim to interrupt the visual
- Double-fired porcelain offers practical durability for regular table service
- Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for building or supplementing a cover set
It is worth considering that hand-glazed pieces can vary batch to batch in shade and finish. If you are building a large cover set or matching to an existing service, it is advisable to discuss batch consistency before ordering in volume. The range also extends to other plate sizes and forms, so there may be a better fit depending on your menu and cover requirements.
If you are planning a table setting around the Wabi Sabi range or want to understand how different pieces sit together on the table, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Because each plate is hand-glazed, there will be subtle variation in tone and finish between individual pieces — this is characteristic of the Wabi Sabi range rather than a defect. Within a single batch, variation is generally minor, but if you are ordering across multiple batches to build a large cover set, it is worth speaking to us first to discuss batch availability and consistency.
- The Wabi Sabi range is best suited to front-of-house dining environments where presentation is important and handling is relatively careful. Hand-glazed decorative porcelain is more vulnerable to chipping than plain commercial ware, so it is less well suited to high-throughput canteen, buffet, or casual dining settings where plates are handled frequently and quickly.
- Steelite porcelain is generally produced to withstand commercial dishwashing, but with hand-glazed decorative finishes it is advisable to follow the manufacturer's care guidance and avoid harsh chemical cycles where possible, as repeated aggressive washing can affect the glaze over time. If longevity of the finish is a concern, we are happy to advise on care before you commit to a large order.
