Emile Henry Small Plate 18cm - Powder Pink/Ivory

The hand-finished glaze and ceramic weight are part of the appeal. Check dishwasher stacking, cupboard clearance and the full setting weight if the pieces will be used in frequent service. The listed ten-year guarantee is for domestic use unless the supplier confirms otherwise. Supplier dimensions are 18 x 18 x 1.8 cm; confirm clearance where fit is critical.

Build the setting by food style: small plates for bread, cake and sides; large plates for everyday mains; XL plates for presentation space; deep plates for pasta, risotto and sauces; individual bowls for breakfast, soup and dessert. The colour-over-ivory combinations coordinate without requiring every piece to be identical.

About Emile Henry: Made in Marcigny in Burgundy, France since 1850, Emile Henry occupies a distinctive premium position between practical bakeware and table presentation. Its value is not colour alone: HR Ceramic is a high-resistance oven material that distributes and retains heat, tolerates freezer-to-oven temperature change where stated and carries a durable glaze; Flame ceramic is engineered for direct gas and electric heat; Delight adds induction compatibility; Sublime brings high-heat searing and slow-cooking versatility at substantially less weight than comparable cast iron; refractory bread bakers use ceramic mass and retained humidity to recreate the useful conditions of a bread oven. The forms are unusually specific—baguette channels, bread cloches, ruffled pie rims, tagine lids, reversible storage lids and presentation-led dinnerware each solve a different customer problem. Choose Emile Henry when one piece should perform in preparation or cooking and still look intentional at the table, with French manufacture and a ten-year domestic guarantee supporting the investment. It is a more presentation-focused choice than anonymous metal bakeware, lighter in visual character than cast iron and more specialised in ceramic cooking than general tableware brands. Commercial buyers should note that the standard guarantee is for domestic use and confirm suitability for high-intensity service.
