Product Information

Full details

The HAY Barro Plate Set, designed by Rui Pereira, is for anyone seeking to bring rustic elegance and the warmth of terracotta to their dining experience. Its key benefit lies in its beautiful simplicity, durable craftsmanship, and versatile use, making it suitable for both everyday meals and special occasions. A caveat to consider is that terracotta, while beautiful, may require specific care to maintain its finish and longevity. This set of two plates features a low scooped design, a rolled-edge detail, and a soft touch, crafted in Portugal from durable terracotta with a high-gloss glaze in a striking red.

What are the dimensions of the small plate?

The small plate in the HAY Barro Plate Set measures 18cm in diameter.

Is each plate exactly the same due to the natural material?

Troubleshooting

Plate has a chip or crack.

Terracotta can be brittle. Handle with care. Minor chips may be smoothed with fine-grit sandpaper, but significant cracks mean the plate should be retired from food service.

Glaze appears dull or scratched.

This can happen with abrasive cleaning or excessive wear. Try cleaning with a non-abrasive cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using rough sponges or scouring pads.

Food seems to be sticking to the surface.

Ensure the plate is adequately clean and dry before serving. For sticky foods, consider using a liner like parchment paper or serving them with a light coating of oil.

Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents, as they can scratch the surface.
