A beautiful supporting role

Western-style tableware that also works for Japanese food.
This is one of the things we value when designing Western-style tableware at POTPURRI.
While larger side plates are often used in Europe and North America, plates around 13–15 cm are convenient for Japanese meals and table sizes.
Seen from the side, the interior is gently curved rather than flat like many Western-style plates, so it also comfortably holds dishes with a little sauce or liquid.
Because side plates are used even more often than large main plates, we chose a simple design and a size you will naturally reach for every day.

Simple enough to complement other tableware, with a style of its own

We chose soft colors for every plate body, designing them to blend naturally with your other tableware while retaining a quiet, composed presence. White with dark navy, pale pink with gray: the contrasting rim keeps the soft body colors from feeling overly sweet.

For the white plate, the first color we designed, we chose a rim color that was neither black nor navy.
The result is a blue so close to black that it gives the design a sophisticated feel.
We especially recommend this series if you are tired of plain white plates but are not particularly drawn to Japanese-style or patterned tableware.

Everyday meals: giving shape to just what you need

The Frost series comprises eight items. Their sizes and forms reflect POTPURRI's ideas as well as everyday practicality. Centered on pieces for enjoying tea time, the series also accommodates Japanese, Western, and Chinese food.

Frost takes its name from the Swedish word for frost

Frost, Swedish for frost, has a soft matte texture that is neither rough nor slippery-smooth.
Introduced five years after Våg, which we created in 2012, this porcelain series began with the aim of making practical, dependable everyday pieces.

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.

Pieces to pair together

---

Combine the coffee cup with Plate S to use them as a cup and saucer. We carefully considered their balance when paired, and they also look good in contrasting colors.
A thin-ice texture inspired by frost, and a navy line that highlights the translucent-looking white: a composed design that is also lovely for welcoming guests.
