Soapstone deep plate – Unique piece
Country of origin: India
Period: 19th century
Dimensions: Variable depending on the piece
Material: Natural soapstone (steatite)

Soapstone, or steatite, is a natural rock composed mainly of talc, renowned for its density, soft touch, and remarkable heat resistance. Used for centuries in the manufacture of culinary utensils and everyday objects, it has the ability to retain and diffuse heat evenly while enduring through generations with great stability.

The deep nuances of the stone, the irregularities of manual shaping, and the traces left by time give each piece a sculptural and authentic presence. Each object we select embodies the Wabi-sabi spirit, celebrating the beauty of imperfections, the richness of natural materials, and the charm of objects that have spanned eras. Today, this deep plate can be used as a decorative element, a centerpiece, or a catchall, bringing texture, character, and history to an interior.

Please note that each piece is unique and shows variations in color, texture, patina, shape, and wear, which attest to its authenticity and history.
