Night Sky Dinner Plate, 26cmThe Night Sky Dinner Plate is a ceramic plate in deep matte black twenty six centimetres across, three tall, with the slightly squared edges of a thali plate rather than a perfect round. The matte black absorbs light evenly across the body. White rice, yellow dal, green sabzi all read sharper against it the way food does on a slate plate at a restaurant. Gloss would have created highlights that competed with the food; matte stays out of the way.
