Product Description
The Rene Ozorio Wabi Sabi Round Tray is a hand-glazed, double-fired porcelain tray finished in a deep slate tone. Designed by leading Thai tableware designer Rene Ozorio and produced by Steelite, it sits within the Wabi Sabi collection — a range that draws on the Japanese aesthetic philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection. Each piece carries a naturally irregular surface character as a result of the hand-glazing process, meaning no two trays are precisely identical.
In a busy service environment, porcelain of this type needs to hold up beyond its visual appeal. Double-fired porcelain construction gives the tray durability suitable for regular commercial use, and the slate glaze finish is practical in that it tends to conceal minor surface marks that accumulate over repeated service periods. At 285mm in diameter, the tray works well as a presentation piece for sharing plates, individual starters, or as a base for small board-style serves.
- Hand-glazed porcelain with natural surface variation across each piece
- Double-fired construction suited to regular commercial handling
- 285mm diameter accommodates sharing or individual presentation formats
- Deep slate finish integrates with dark or neutral tableware schemes
- Supplied in a pack of 6 for consistent front-of-house presentation
Being porcelain rather than actual slate, these trays are dishwasher compatible and avoid the porosity and fragility issues associated with natural stone servingware — a practical consideration for high-cover operations where speed of turnaround matters. The 6-piece pack format supports straightforward stock management for tables set to a uniform standard.
This tray is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and casual dining operations where tableware presentation is part of the overall guest experience. It fits naturally within a contemporary or Japanese-influenced menu concept. For venues needing larger presentation surfaces or different form factors within the same Wabi Sabi collection, alternative sizes and shapes are available.
If you're building out a tableware selection and want to discuss how this piece fits alongside other items in the range, the team is happy to help you think it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Because they are porcelain rather than natural slate or stone, these trays are dishwasher compatible and avoid the porosity and cracking risks associated with genuine stone servingware. This makes them more practical for high-cover operations where warewashing speed matters.
- The hand-glazing process intentionally produces natural variation between pieces — this is central to the Wabi Sabi design ethos. In practice, the variation is subtle enough that trays read as a cohesive set on the table, while each piece retains its own character. If a highly uniform finish is a priority for your operation, it is worth viewing the range in person or requesting a sample first.
- That depends on your cover count, table turn rate, and warewashing cycle. As a general guide, holding two to three times your peak-cover requirement in any given piece helps absorb breakages and washing lag without running short mid-service. If you'd like help working through the numbers for your operation, the team can advise.
