Casual to use, elegant to look at
Pasta and curry plates—essentially shallow bowls—are items we often include in POTPURRI's series.
The reason we make them so often is simply that they are used so often.
We always wonder whether to narrow the range when a pasta plate becomes similar in size to a smaller main-dish or bread plate. In the Frost series, Plate M is 22 cm and the Pasta Plate is 23 cm.
A difference of just 1 cm.
Their depths differ, of course, but their overall sizes are similar.
Yet it is surprising how different the food looks when served on each.
Our conclusion: we are glad we made it
We paid particular attention to the inner curve of the Frost Pasta Plate. It has a gentle, continuous curve without a flat section, as though shaped by a ball. This form is also common in Japanese tableware, making it easy to arrange and hold curry or pasta.
The distinctive line around the rim gives it a touch of elegance.
Try matching the plate color to the dish
Try carbonara or aglio e olio on a gray plate, and tomato-based dishes on a pink one!
The green plate is lovely for salads. Although the colors are pale, their subtle character makes them wonderfully versatile.
Giving shape to just what you need at mealtimes
The Frost series comprises eight items. Their sizes and forms reflect POTPURRI's ideas as well as everyday practicality.
■Frost means frost in Swedish
Frost has a gently textured surface. The collection followed Våg, first made in 2012, five years later. It grew from a wish to make dependable porcelain for everyday use.
Porcelain does not absorb water and stays strong even when shaped into thin walls.
The starting points were practical: pieces should be easy to hold and serve from, and should stack well.
Keeping the walls thin through firing took considerable work.
Colour and texture posed a separate challenge.
The makers used different colours inside and out, aiming for the look of a thin layer of ice.
Glazes with different expansion rates can craze or crack when applied to opposite sides.
The pieces still had to stand up to everyday use.
The makers fired glazes with matching expansion rates on both sides, then applied the contrasting surface texture by sandblasting.
The porcelain is fired at 1,330°C and finished with soft colours and texture.
The coffee cup, mug and teapot have glossy interiors for tea or coffee. On the bowls and plates, the underside is glossy.
From one craftsperson to the next
A maker forms the thin body on a mechanical wheel. Others glaze the inside and outside by hand, paint the rim, sandblast the surface with especially fine grains, and apply a stain-resistant finish. Each stage draws on a different craftsperson’s skills.

The decoration is applied by hand, so some pieces may show slight variations in paint coverage.
The matte texture is created by sandblasting, followed by a treatment to help resist staining.
