La Mère Deep Plate - Set of Two

The La Mère Deep Plate Set in Venetian Red carries a warm, ferrous depth that calls to mind terracotta rooftops, Renaissance pigments, and earth still warm from the sun. Designed by Marie Michielssen for Serax, this medium deep plate is at once an heirloom object and an everyday essential. La Mère — French for "the mother" — is Michielssen's loving ode to the women who shape us and the tables they set. Each piece in the collection is finished by hand, which means no two are identical. The slight variations in glaze, the faint traces of the maker's touch at the rim creates stoneware with a soul. The deep plate's generous bowl holds pastas, risottos, braised greens, and slow-cooked grains with equal elegance. Its curved walls and substantial weight give it a presence on the table that flatware rarely achieves. Sold as a set of two, it is designed for sharing — for the kind of meal that lingers.
