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. Each plate carries a naturally irregular surface finish in a muted Lichen tone — an intentional quality of the Wabi Sabi range, which draws on the Japanese aesthetic of finding beauty in imperfection. No two plates are identical, which is characteristic of the hand-glazing process rather than a flaw.
In a restaurant environment, this range performs well where the tableware itself is expected to contribute to the overall dining experience. The coupe profile — flat, with a minimal rim — suits plated dishes where presentation space and clean visual framing matter. The double-fired construction gives the glaze reasonable durability for front-of-house use, though hand-glazed porcelain of this kind is generally better suited to mid-service care than high-velocity stack handling in a very busy production kitchen setting.
- Hand-glazed finish adds visual character and individuality to each cover
- Coupe profile provides an open, frameless presentation surface
- Double-fired construction supports everyday front-of-house durability
- Muted Lichen colourway works well alongside natural and neutral table schemes
- Pack of six supports consistent cover matching across a section
This plate is most appropriate for independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and dining operations where a considered, artisan aesthetic is part of the offer. It is less suited to very high-turnover operations where uniformity and rapid replacement are the primary concerns. Steelite produces the Wabi Sabi range in a number of forms and finishes, so if you are building a full table scheme or need guidance on mix-and-match options within the collection, it is worth a conversation before ordering at volume.
If you would like to talk through how this range fits your table scheme or check availability across the collection, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Most hand-glazed porcelain from reputable manufacturers such as Steelite is produced with commercial warewashing in mind, but the glazed surface benefits from being loaded carefully and avoiding aggressive stacking. If you are running a high-cycle glasswasher or commercial rack system, it is worth checking the specific care guidance for the Wabi Sabi range before committing to large quantities.
- Intentional variation is a defining characteristic of the Wabi Sabi range — the hand-glazing means each plate will carry subtle differences in tone and surface texture. For most operators this is part of the appeal, but if absolute uniformity across covers is important for your service style, this range may not be the right fit and it would be worth exploring Steelite's more standardised collections.
- A single pack of six covers a small section, but most operators running a full service will want two to three packs per section to allow for a full turn, plates in the wash, and breakage contingency. If you are equipping a full dining room or want to discuss quantities for a new opening, the team can help you work through what you need.
