Bento plate small

• Series: Bento
• Material: Stoneware
• Finish: matte/glossy
• Diameter: 22 x 2 cm
• Color: beige, black
• Fired at nearly 1200°C
• With the hand-applied reactive glaze, two glazes react with each other, creating a unique color gradient. This makes every item one-of-a-kind.
• As this is a handmade natural product, small deviations in shape and color, as well as irregularities, are possible, which give the dinnerware its character.

So that you can enjoy your tableware for a long time, we recommend gentle wash cycles with standard dishwasher tablets. We advise against aggressive cleaners with citrus additives. Depending on the material of your cutlery, slight cutlery marks may occur. These can be easily removed with a cutlery cleaning product. You can get the cleaning product in almost any drugstore or supermarket.

The small Portofino Ceramica Bento Plate

While conventional dinnerware with the same old designs and often questionable origins is found in every corner of our daily lives, our Bento Plate brings craftsmanship from Portugal, made with heart and soul, into your home. This way, you can consciously enjoy every meal and slow down your everyday life.

Slow Living for Your Mealtimes

Deceleration and "Slow Living" are increasingly finding their way into our lives, and we're noticing: Mealtimes in particular—even snacks in between—offer enormous potential for a little more time for yourself.
What is so often described by the expression "you eat with your eyes" (Das Auge isst mit) actually holds some truth, but perhaps our Bento series interprets this a bit differently. Because: every sensory impression counts.
The simple designs and unique color gradients, created by each individual firing process, not only result in one-of-a-kind pieces but also provide the opportunity to enjoy every meal and every snack a little bit more.

The small Bento Plate has a diameter of 22 cm and is suitable for many different dishes, for side dishes with main meals, or as a dessert plate.

High Quality Means Fairness and Sustainability

Our plates are sustainably produced in Portugal under fair conditions. Their meticulous manufacturing process ensures high quality and durability—something you already know from other Bento products.

The plates are first shaped by hand and fired. After the glaze is applied, it is hardened by firing again, making the plates robust and chip-resistant. This means you can easily put them in the dishwasher and microwave when you're in a hurry.
After the firing process, the quality of each item is checked to ensure every piece meets our high standards. The stoneware used comes from Europe, and the glazes are strictly tested according to EEC guidelines. This way, you can be sure that only sustainably produced dinnerware makes it to the table in your Slow Living home.

Care for a Long Lifespan

Because a sustainable lifestyle also means keeping possessions for a long time, we recommend the proper care for our Bento Plates. Use gentle wash cycles with standard dishwasher tabs and avoid aggressive detergents with citrus additives to clean your plates as gently as possible.
Should cutlery marks (cutlery abrasion) occur, you can easily remove them with a specialized cutlery cleaner. This way, your Bento Plates will keep their beautiful appearance for a long time and remain your faithful companions in the kitchen.

If a plate breaks or you wish to expand your set, you can easily buy more Bento Plates from us. Our products remain in the collection long-term, allowing your Slow Living home to grow with you and your personality.
