Small Plates

About this find

The Small Plate from Year & Day has a rimless, coupe-style shape, so the surface stays open and the food takes center stage. It measures 8.25 inches in diameter and stands 1 inch tall. That size suits a light salad or a slice of dessert, and the plate is made to handle both with ease.

The glaze has a semi-matte finish that is elegant and durable. These plates are safe for the dishwasher, freezer, microwave and oven, up to 480º. That range means you can chill, reheat and clean up with the same plate, which keeps kitchen routines simple after a long meal with friends.

Each plate is made in Portugal, in a region respected for its centuries-old legacy of craftsmanship. The ceramics are sourced from local earth, fired just once to reduce emissions, and glazed in a Pacific-inspired palette. That single firing and local clay give the plates a grounded story that carries from the kiln to your table.

The Small Plate also stacks beautifully on the Big Plate, which keeps cupboard storage tidy and lets you build a matching place setting. It comes in multiples of four, so you can fill out a set in one go. Set a small plate on a larger one when serving bread or a starter.
