Why You'll Love It

Flat, Even Underglaze

Underglaze colour sits beneath the surface, so the black and the white stay flat and even rather than glossy.

Minimal Monochrome

Japanese-style shapes in plain black or white, so the pieces sit together on any table without competing with the food.

Build It Piece by Piece

Buy single items or a full black or white set: saucers, 20 cm and 25 cm plates, and rice, noodle and salad bowls.

Stacks Cleanly

The bowls and plates are shaped to nest, so a full service takes up less cupboard space. Hand wash recommended.

4 Reasons Why You Will Love It:

Minimal by Design

Japanese-style forms in plain black or white, with no pattern and no trim. The table reads considered rather than busy.

Underglaze Colour

The colour is applied under the glaze rather than on top of it, so the finish stays flat and even and does not sit on the wearing surface.

A Quiet Backdrop for Food

Matte monochrome means the colour of what you serve is the only colour on the plate, which is why so much Japanese tableware is built this way.

A Full Service, Piece by Piece

Rice bowl 11 cm, noodle bowl 15 cm, salad bowl 18 cm, plates at 20 cm and 25 cm, plus saucers. Buy single items or the complete black or white set.

How It Compares

Next to a standard white dinner set, this collection uses underglaze colour for a flat matte black or white, comes in Japanese-style shapes from an 11 cm rice bowl to a 25 cm plate, and can be bought one piece at a time rather than only as a fixed set.

  Others

Underglaze colour, flat matte finish

Monochrome black or white, no pattern

Ceramic body, shaped to stack

Japanese-style minimal shapes

Sold singly or as a full set

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are used in the Monochrome Nippon Collection?

Ceramic, finished with underglaze colour. The colour goes on under the glaze, which keeps the black and white flat and even rather than glossy.

Is this dinnerware dishwasher safe?

The care guidance for this collection is hand wash. We recommend washing the pieces by hand rather than putting them through the dishwasher.

How should I care for these pieces?

Hand wash with a soft sponge and avoid abrasive cleaners. Because the colour sits under the glaze, the finish holds up well to normal use.

How do I choose the right size for my needs?

The collection runs from an 11 cm rice bowl through a 15 cm noodle bowl and an 18 cm salad bowl to plates at 20 cm and 25 cm, plus saucers. Pick by what you usually serve and how many people you set the table for.

What is underglaze colour?

The colour is applied to the ceramic before the glaze goes on, so it sits beneath the glaze layer instead of on the surface. That is what gives the pieces their flat, even black or white.

Are there matching sets available?

Yes. You can buy individual items or a complete set in either black or white, so you can build the service gradually or take it all at once.

What defines the Japanese style of this collection?

Minimal shapes, clean lines and plain colour, with separate vessels for rice, noodles and salad rather than one all-purpose bowl. That is the shape of a traditional Japanese place setting.

Is the collection suitable for special occasions as well as everyday use?

Yes. The plain black and white works for everyday meals and also sits well on a set table, and because the pieces are sold singly you can add serving sizes when you need them.

    Good Quality, A Bit Heavy
    The dishes are very well made and feel sturdy, which is great. They are a little heavier than I expected, but still love the look.

    Elevates Every Meal
    I never thought plates could make such a difference, but these totally do. Eating off them just feels more special. My morning toast looks gourmet now!

    Nice, But Small Rice Bowl
    The quality is solid and the design is beautiful. The only thing is the rice bowl is a bit smaller than I'm used to for my portions, but I'll make it work.

    Underglaze is Amazing
    I'm always worried about patterns fading but the underglaze on these is just perfect. They've been through the dishwasher so many times and still look brand new.

    Stylish and Practical
    I needed new dinnerware that looked good but could also handle daily life. This collection fits the bill perfectly. It's beautiful and very durable.

    Really Impressed!
    For the price, I wasn't expecting such high quality. These feel much more expensive than they are. Definitely recommend them to anyone wanting an upgrade.

    My New Favorite Dishes
    I hesitated getting a whole new set, but I'm so glad I did. They make my food look like art, and cleanup is super easy. Couldn't be happier with them.

    A Touch of Zen
    These dishes bring a really calming, almost Zen-like quality to my dining table. It's not just plates, it's an experience. My family loves them too.
