Elegance at the table begins with quiet intent. The Serax Base low plate designed by Piet Boon brings a measured, architectural calm to contemporary dining, offering a balanced surface that frames food without distraction. Part of a coherent family of Plates, it is crafted in refined Porcelain with a luminous glazed finish that highlights color, texture, and plating detail. The format is intentionally versatile—equally suited to canapés, petits fours, or a composed starter—answering the needs of professionals and design-conscious home entertainers looking for a white ceramic low plate that unites durability with understated beauty.

Design Language by Piet Boon

Every line in this collection reflects the designer’s philosophy of essential forms and long-term relevance. In collaboration with Serax, Piet Boon transforms minimal gestures into generous function: a calm rim for confident handling, a stable base for smooth service, and proportions that feel at once precise and welcoming. The piece sits naturally within the broader table program—high and deep plates, bowls, and cups—so visual rhythm and scale remain consistent across courses. It also aligns with the aesthetic modern stoneware appetizer plate, while elevating the table settings with the finesse and longevity of porcelain.

Material, Care, and Professional Performance

The glaze resists everyday wear while preserving a soft, tactile sheen through repeated use. Engineered for real service conditions, the plate is dishwasher safe and microwave safe, maintaining its profile and finish without compromise. The low silhouette stacks efficiently to optimize storage, and its balanced weight supports swift, confident movement from pass to table. As guidance for service, if you are considering how to serve appetizers on small plates, this format stabilizes bite-size compositions, sauces, and garnishes, keeping presentations neat and readable under dining-room light.

Family Context, Formats, and Complements

The Serax Base range is conceived as a complete mise en place: coordinated pieces in proportional scales that can be mixed across courses and occasions. Rather than locking into a single dimension, this low plate is available in multiple diameters and formats so chefs and hosts can build a consistent language from tasting menus to generous sharing moments. Styling it is effortless—layer with textured napery, contrast with dark slate, or keep the setting crisp with clear stems. For a coherent table story, it could be enjoyed with Serax Cutlery and Serax Glassware, achieving a refined, modular expression suitable for boutique hotels, private dining rooms, and curated homes.
