Made from black clay. The exterior is carved by hand — a rhythm of vertical grooves that run around the full circumference. Unglazed, raw, with the texture of the tool and the material left exactly as they met.

The interior surface is built in layers. White white clay slip is applied as an underglaze texture before firing – it creates the effects you see in the glaze, the way light catches differently across the surface. The glaze moves over this texture, pooling in some places, pulling back in others. It is not a simple glaze on a smooth surface. It takes considerably more time and skill to produce, and it shows.

The colours shift from deep navy to cyan to near-white with dark pools and bright bursts that land differently each time. No two plates have the same interior. We apply the same glaze – the kiln decides what happens next.

The shape is wide and low with a thick, solid edge. More grounded than the Legged Plate – this one sits firmly on the table. The dark exterior makes every colour of food read clearly.

Dishwasher safe. Suitable for professional service.

Available in four sizes:

- Amuse Bouche — 160 × 40 mm

- Small — 220 × 55 mm

- Medium — 260 × 65 mm

Each piece is handmade in our Sofia studio from black clay. The carved texture and interior glaze pattern vary naturally – this is the nature of the work.

Handmade porcelain tableware, designed in Sofia with an architect's eye.

Pottery & Poetry is a design studio in Sofia, Bulgaria, founded by architect Maria Baleva, M.Arch. Fifteen years of architectural practice shape how she designs for the table: proportion, colour and the way a piece is used every day. A team of eight shapes and glazes every plate, bowl and cup by hand in our studio, so no two pieces are exactly alike.

Our collections include Color, Bauhaus, Sgraffito and Calassi wine vessels. The Bauhaus collection is on show at Artipelag, Stockholm, as part of the exhibition Inner Child until April 2027.

We also design and make custom tableware for restaurants, hotels and shops, from a single glaze to a complete service.
