Deep Plate RAW
Purist and extravagant at the same time best describes our RAW collection. The sides are completely unglazed and untreated, highlighting the bare, rough stoneware material - raw. Our pasta plates bring out the best in your homemade tortellini. The purist colours on the inside bring the food into even sharper focus. Perfect for those special moments around the table with good company.
The plates are made fairly and sustainably in a family-run factory in Barcelos, Portugal. Made from locally sourced and recycled clay and finished by hand, each plate is unique. Baked at 1280°, the plates are dishwasher safe and oven safe up to 200°.
This is where our tableware is produced
Our RAW tableware collection is manufactured in a workshop in Barcelos, in the north of Portugal. The company employs around 40 people and is now in its second generation of family ownership. We particularly like the family atmosphere, both with us as customers and with the way each employee is treated. Due to the geographical proximity - Botica Amano is also based in Barcelos - we are often on site and our partner has been with us since the very beginning. The relationship is one of openness, respect and partnership, and we are delighted to have such a great partner on our side.
Frequently asked questions
Our tableware is produced fairly exclusively in Barcelos, in the north of Portugal, in a small family-run workshop. Barcelos is also the headquarters of Botica Amano. This means that distances are short. We have consciously decided against large factories in the south of the country. The communication and relationship with our suppliers is open and characterized by partnership.
Our dishes are microwave, dishwasher and oven safe up to 200° and are therefore very robust and designed for a long service life.
To ensure the longevity of your dishes, we recommend gentle washing with standard dishwasher tablets. Please avoid aggressive cleaners with citrus additives.
Our RAW collection has untreated and unglazed sides - a design detail that we hope you like as much as we do. The lack of glaze means the material is open-pored and therefore more susceptible to stains. To preserve the look for as long as possible, we recommend removing any staining foods as soon as they come into contact with the outside.
Matte glazes can show slight abrasion marks from cutlery over time. These superficial marks can usually be easily removed with baking soda and a sponge. You can also use baking soda to remove stains from coloring foods on the outside.
Depending on the hardness of the cutlery, matte glazes can cause cutlery abrasion. However, this is usually only superficial and can be easily removed. It is not a case of cracks in the glaze, as the glaze is usually harder than the cutlery itself. The softer the cutlery, the faster the cutlery abrasion occurs. This way you can easily remove it.
Wet the surface of the plate. Spread baking soda or baking powder generously over the surface and leave it to work for at least 15-20 minutes. Then take a standard sponge and massage the baking soda mixture in using circular movements. You can take your time and don't worry, the rough surface of the sponge won't harm the glaze. Then rinse the plate with water and voilà, it's as good as new again.
Our dishes are designed to last, so you can put them in the dishwasher without any problem. Stoneware is a very high-quality and robust material. You can even use our dishes in the oven up to 200°. Just make sure that there are no rapid temperature fluctuations, such as directly from the refrigerator to the oven.
