In the words of the designers, "In this set of stoneware, we wanted to expose the nature of the material by wiping out the glaze on the edge of the plates, cups, etc. This gesture provides a decorative finish to the objects as well by contrasting the white line of the thickness with the color of the surface." These plates were designed to be displayed stacked and they create a stunning silhouette. This tableware is included in the collections of the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, New York and Die Neue Sammlung, Munich, among others. These plates are in very good condition, with all plates still usable for dining. The glaze shows minimal, typical signs of wear, but is in remarkable condition after 40 years of use. There is one spot of chipped glaze on the underside of one of the dinner plates (as shown in pictures) but it is not visible when used or stacked. See less
