Sombra Salad Plate

Discover the quiet power of contrast with this handcrafted Oaxacan black salad plate, a seamless blend of ancient clay-working tradition and modern minimalism. Master potters in rural Oaxaca shape locally sourced clay into a broad, gently sloping form, then hand-burnish the surface until it achieves a velvety matte glow that sets off crisp greens, vibrant grains, or even a modest slice of cake. The plate’s refined rim frames each composition like a gallery border, while its inky tone echoes throughout the entire Sombra line for a cohesive, sculptural tablescape. Whether you’re plating a composed salad or layering courses in a tasting menu, this handmade dinnerware piece lends depth, drama, and authentic Mexican craftsmanship to every meal—proof that a single black clay plate from Oaxaca can turn everyday dining into an elevated ritual.
