Product Description
The Rene Ozorio Wabi Sabi coupe bowl is a hand-glazed, double-fired porcelain piece from Steelite's collaboration with Thai designer Rene Ozorio. The Wabi Sabi collection takes its name from the Japanese aesthetic principle of finding beauty in imperfection — each piece carries subtle variation in its indigo glaze finish, making individual bowls visually distinct while remaining consistent as a matched set.
At 440ml, the rimmed coupe format is a versatile size suited to starters, desserts, sharing accompaniments, and small main courses. The rimmed edge gives chefs a reliable surface for plating sauces and garnishes without the contents crowding the lip, and the coupe profile presents food well under both casual and formal dining settings. The hand-glazing process means the indigo finish has depth and warmth that printed or dipped alternatives rarely match — something that reads clearly on the table and photographs well for menu and social media use.
Porcelain construction means the bowls hold up well in busy service environments, including dishwasher cycling through a full service. The double-firing process supports chip resistance at the rim, which is typically where casual handling takes its toll over time.
- Versatile coupe profile suits starters, desserts, and small plates
- Rimmed edge supports cleaner plating and sauce work
- Hand-glazed indigo finish adds visual distinction to table presentation
- Sold in packs of 12, practical for building consistent cover counts
- Porcelain construction suited to regular commercial dishwasher use
This collection suits restaurants, boutique hotels, and supper clubs where presentation is a deliberate part of the dining experience. It is less suited to high-turnover canteen or grab-and-go environments where the finish detail would be largely wasted. If cover counts are high and attrition is a concern, it is worth considering how the hand-glazed finish will age across a larger batch replacement cycle.
If you are building a full cover count or mixing pieces across the Wabi Sabi range, we are happy to talk through quantities and how the collection works together in practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The hand-glazing process means each piece carries subtle variation — that is intentional and central to the Wabi Sabi aesthetic. Within a pack, the bowls read as a cohesive set, but you will see natural differences in tone and texture from piece to piece. Most operators find this adds character rather than creating a mismatched appearance on the table.
- Porcelain fired to commercial tableware standards is generally well suited to high-cycle dishwashing, and the double-firing process used in this range supports durability. That said, aggressive detergents at very high temperatures can affect glaze finish over time on any hand-finished piece, so following the dishwasher manufacturer's recommended settings is advisable.
- Yes — the Wabi Sabi collection spans multiple forms and the indigo colourway runs across the range, so mixing plates, bowls, and serving pieces within the same colourway is straightforward. If you are planning a full cover build or want to confirm which pieces work well together in service, we are happy to advise before you order.
