Product Description
The Rene Ozorio Wabi Sabi square tray is a hand-glazed, double-fired porcelain piece designed for contemporary food presentation. Produced under the Steelite portfolio, the range draws on the Wabi Sabi aesthetic — an appreciation of natural imperfection — meaning each tray carries subtle variation in its slate-toned glaze finish. These are not uniform, factory-flat pieces; the character in the surface is intentional and consistent with the design philosophy.
In service, porcelain of this construction holds up well to the rigours of a busy pass. Double firing produces a denser, more durable body than single-fire alternatives, which matters when trays are handled repeatedly across multiple covers. The slate glaze provides a neutral, dark backdrop that suits a wide range of plating styles — particularly modern European, small plates, and tasting menus where visual contrast is part of the dish.
- Hand-glazed finish gives each piece natural variation in tone and texture
- Double-fired porcelain construction for durability in active service
- Slate colouring works across a broad range of food styles and presentations
- Square format suits modern plating and structured small-plate service
- Supplied in a pack of six for consistent tableware coverage
Being porcelain, these trays are suitable for dishwasher use in a commercial environment, though as with all hand-glazed pieces, aggressive detergent cycles over time may gradually affect the surface finish. They are not designed for direct oven use or induction service.
This range is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and private members clubs where presentation quality matters and a considered table aesthetic is part of the offer. For operations requiring a larger format or higher pack quantities, other sizes within the Wabi Sabi range may be worth considering.
If you are building out a full table setting or want guidance on mixing pieces within the range, the team is happy to help you work through what makes sense for your covers and service style.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, the porcelain construction is suitable for commercial dishwasher use. As with all hand-glazed pieces, prolonged exposure to very harsh detergent cycles may gradually affect the glaze over time, so a standard commercial warewash programme is preferable to an aggressive high-temperature cycle.
- The Wabi Sabi range is intentionally designed with hand-glazed variation as part of its aesthetic — no two pieces will be identical. Within a single pack the tone and texture will be closely aligned, but subtle differences in the slate finish are a feature of the range rather than a quality inconsistency.
- At 285mm the square tray works well for starters, sharing plates, and structured small-plate service. For larger main course portions, a bigger format within the Wabi Sabi range may offer more practical plating space — it is worth considering how the piece will be used across your menu before committing to a quantity.
