The Cecina soup plate by ritzenhoff & breker is a 210 mm diameter bowl-shaped plate in a graphite-coloured stoneware finish, designed for serving soups, stews and pasta.

The surface finish provides a neutral, textured look that pairs with a variety of table settings and cutlery.

Advantages

The graphite colour conceals minor stains and contributes to a consistent table presentation.

How to use

Place the Cecina soup plate on a heat-resistant surface before filling with hot liquids. For reheating, use the microwave setting appropriate for the contents and avoid rapid temperature changes to reduce thermal stress. After use, remove food residues and place the plate in the dishwasher or wash by hand with warm water and mild detergent. Allow to cool before stacking to prevent trapping residual heat between items.

Recommendations

Avoid exposing the plate to direct flame or extreme temperature shock such as transferring from freezer to microwave without intermediate tempering. Use non-abrasive cleaning tools to preserve the glaze and check stacking heights in commercial dishwashers to prevent impact damage.
