Wabi Plates

Embrace the art of imperfection with the Wabi plates, an assortment of French ceramic plates in 3 sizes that marry Jars Céramistes’ 160-year heritage with Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy. Handcrafted in our Drôme atelier from high-fired, non-toxic stoneware, their gently irregular round silhouette—visible in each plate’s uneven, hand-chiseled rim—reveals both the raw-textured clay and layers of ash glazes that cascade from glossy to matte. The transition from glazed surface to unglazed natural clay foot captures the “ballet of gestures” intrinsic to Jars craftsmanship. Forged for everyday indulgence, Wabi plates are both dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe, with a dense, water-resistant surface ideal for presenting salads, entrées, or minimalist rice bowls. Sustainably crafted with lead- and cadmium-free ash glazes and a single-firing, energy-saving kiln process, they embody Jars’ eco-responsible ethos. Perfect for quiet dinners or thoughtful gatherings, these stoneware plates invites you to savor the beauty of imperfection—where raw materials, artisanal ash-kissed finishes, and centuries-old French savoir-faire unite in a truly unique tablescape essential.
