Description
The Carte Blanche Breakfast Plate by Serax is a porcelain plate designed by Dutch designer Annebet Philips. The collection began with cardboard models, and the finished pieces keep that first-stage quality: cut-looking edges, shallow folded surfaces, and thin black lines painted by hand.
The plate is white porcelain, but it is not neutral tableware. Its irregular outline and drawn black detailing make the piece feel closer to a prototype translated directly into ceramic. That is the strength of the collection. It keeps the looseness of the sketch while becoming a fully usable object.
At 22 cm wide, the plate works for breakfast, dessert, bread, fruit, small salads, starters, and light meals. It is smaller than a dinner plate but more useful than a saucer, which makes it one of the easier Carte Blanche pieces to use every day.
The hand-painted lines will vary slightly from piece to piece. That variation belongs to the design and should not be treated as a defect. Use the plates as a pair, combine them with the matching breakfast bowls and cups, or mix them into plain white tableware when the table needs one graphic element.
The plates are dishwasher safe, microwave safe, food safe, and oven safe up to 356°F or 180°C. They are not salamander proof. Serax lists the plate per item with a minimum order quantity of two, so this listing is best sold as a set of two breakfast plates.
