Product Description
The Rene Ozorio Wabi Sabi range is a collection of hand-glazed, double-fired porcelain tableware designed by leading Thai designer Rene Ozorio and produced by Steelite International. Each piece carries a deliberately organic, imperfect aesthetic that draws on the Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy — the idea that natural irregularity and subtle variation have their own quiet appeal. The Lichen colourway is a muted, earthy tone that sits comfortably within both modern and rustic dining environments.
At 152mm in diameter, these round trays are a versatile addition to a table setting. They work well as an accompaniment plate, a small sharing plate, or a surface for pre-plated amuse-bouche and petit fours. The hand-glazed finish means each piece carries slight tonal variation, which is intentional to the range — operators should be comfortable with this characteristic before committing to the collection.
Practically, porcelain of this type is well suited to busy restaurant environments. Steelite's double-firing process produces a body that handles the thermal stresses of commercial dishwashing reliably, and the glaze is applied to withstand regular use without significant crazing over time. As with all hand-finished tableware, some variation in glaze coverage is expected and forms part of the aesthetic.
- Consistent colour palette supports a cohesive, considered table presentation
- Porcelain construction handles commercial dishwasher cycles reliably
- Small format suits supplementary plating and sharing-style menus
- Pack of 12 provides a practical opening quantity for most covers
This range is best suited to independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and hospitality venues where considered tableware is part of the overall dining concept. If you are unsure whether the Lichen finish or the 152mm format is right for your covers, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Hand-glazed tableware inherently carries tonal variation from piece to piece — this is a deliberate characteristic of the Wabi Sabi range rather than a quality defect. Operators choosing this collection should be comfortable with subtle differences across pieces, as uniformity is not the intention of the design.
- Steelite produces this range using a double-firing process, which results in a durable porcelain body suited to the thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers. As with any hand-finished tableware, the glaze may show wear sooner than machine-finished alternatives under very high-frequency washing, so it is worth factoring that into purchasing volumes for high-turnover sites.
- The Wabi Sabi collection is best suited to environments where tableware is considered part of the overall dining experience — independent restaurants, boutique hotels, wine bars, and similar hospitality settings. It is less well suited to high-volume canteen or contract catering environments where durability under heavy throughput takes priority over aesthetic finish.
