When traditional Portuguese Azulejo patterns meet a noble matte black finish, tradition and modernity combine to create exquisite pieces of tableware. The "Tiles" ceramic dinnerware collection from the renowned brand MÄSER, produced under sustainable conditions in Portugal, transports the millennia-old fascination with Moorish art into a tactile decor on each piece of this tableware set, enveloping it in an unparalleled trendy matte glaze. The complex designs of this dinnerware series are particularly highlighted by the elegantly reduced yet generous shapes of the plates and bowls. The modern, round coupe forms allow ample space for the extraordinary decor as well as your culinary creations. Leave a lasting impression not only on your guests with this collection but also transform each of your meals into a true feast for the eyes! The "Tiles" series is made of stoneware—a high-quality form of ceramics that should not be confused with the more brittle and porous earthenware. In everyday use, high-quality stoneware dinnerware is hardly distinguishable from porcelain: the entire series is microwave and dishwasher safe, heat resistant, and freezer safe, making it absolutely practical for daily use. This service set is shipped in packaging made from sustainable materials that has been tested multiple times for breakage resistance. Please note: Due to the special surface texture of the matte glaze, cutting on the plates may result in utensil abrasion and unfamiliar scratching noises. The fine metallic lines that may appear from utensil abrasion on the plates do not affect the functionality of the dinnerware and can be removed with porcelain cleaner if necessary. For better objective comparability, our capacity specifications are always based on a full-to-the-brim filling.
