Rene Ozorio Wabi Sabi Round Slate Trays 152mm (Pack of 12)

The Rene Ozorio Wabi Sabi range is a collection of hand-glazed, double-fired porcelain tableware designed by Thai designer Rene Ozorio and produced by Steelite. These 152mm round trays are finished in a distinctive slate colourway that reflects the Wabi Sabi aesthetic — an appreciation of natural imperfection and quiet character. Each piece carries subtle variation as a result of the hand-glazing process, which is intentional to the design rather than a quality concern.

In a front-of-house setting, this kind of tableware performs a different role to standard crockery. The slate finish and artisan quality make it well suited to plated desserts, small sharing dishes, amuse-bouche, or pre-dessert presentations where the vessel is as much a part of the dish as the food itself. The porcelain construction is durable enough for regular service use and withstands commercial dishwashing, though hand-glazed pieces of this character are generally better suited to considered, mid-to-high-end dining environments than high-turnover canteen settings.

• Hand-glazed finish adds visual character to plated presentations
• Double-fired porcelain provides reliable durability for service use
• Consistent pack quantity supports matching sets across covers
• Slate colourway works well with both light and dark food presentations
• Suitable for commercial dishwashing in regular service rotation

Because each piece is hand-glazed, minor variation between items is expected and is characteristic of the range. Operators building a full table setting around this collection should factor that in when planning cover quantities. The trays are sold in packs of 12, which supports consistent sets across a reasonable number of covers from a single order.
