Product Description
The Rene Ozorio Wabi Sabi rimmed coupe bowl is a hand-glazed, double-fired porcelain piece from Steelite's collaboration with Thai designer Rene Ozorio. The Galet colourway sits in a muted, natural palette that reflects the Wabi Sabi philosophy of understated, imperfect beauty — each piece carries its own subtle character as a result of the hand-glazing process. These bowls are supplied in packs of twelve, making them a practical choice for building or refreshing front-of-house stock.
In a working restaurant environment, hand-glazed crockery of this type is typically used for starters, desserts, and side dishes rather than high-volume main-course covers, where a more uniform, machine-glazed piece might be preferred. The double-fired construction gives good chip resistance for everyday service use, and the porcelain body holds up reliably in commercial dishwashers. That said, hand-finished ware will show variation between pieces, which is part of the design intent rather than a quality concern.
This range suits operators who want to add visual texture and warmth to the table without heavy investment in bespoke or artisan pottery. It works particularly well in:
- Independent restaurants and bistros with a natural, craft-led aesthetic
- Hotel dining rooms seeking a point of difference on the table
- Café and brunch venues plating small dishes and sharing plates
- Private dining and events where presentation is a priority
The rimmed coupe profile gives a generous presentation surface and a stable base, which helps when plating sauced or dressed dishes during a busy pass. The 440ml capacity suits mid-sized portions comfortably.
If you're building a full table setting around this range, or need guidance on quantities for a specific cover count, the team is happy to talk through your requirements before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The double-fired porcelain construction is designed to withstand the temperatures and detergents used in commercial dishwashers. Hand-glazed finishes can dull over time with very aggressive chemical cycles, so using a rinse aid appropriate for fine crockery is worth considering if longevity of the finish is a priority.
- Not exactly. Hand-glazing is inherent to the Wabi Sabi design language, meaning each piece carries subtle tonal variation. This is intentional and part of the aesthetic rather than a production inconsistency. Operators who require a fully uniform table look may find a machine-glazed range more suitable.
- It works well for starters, desserts, sharing plates, and side dishes in restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and café settings where presentation is important. It is less suited to very high-turnover operations where a more robust, standardised piece would be a better long-term investment.
