Product Insights
The Large Grooved Blue Plate from Simons Maison offers an affordable entry into artisan-style dinnerware at $12 each, with a hand-applied reactive glaze that yields unpredictable yet consistently midnight-blue patterns and a grooved rim that enhances contrast through light-shadow interplay. While microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe, it is not oven-safe and ceramic may chip if dropped. Matching bowls, mugs, and salad plates are sold separately, allowing gradual assembly of a coordinated set that stands out for its unique finish and everyday practicality.
Verified claims
- Glaze variation
- Hand-applied reactive glaze with metallic oxides creates unpredictable color patterns on each plate.
- Set collection
- Matching pieces sold separately allow gradual assembly of a unique-but-coordinated set.
- Grooved rim effect
- Grooved rim traps reactive glaze, producing darker lines and light-shadow interplay.
- Microwave safety
- Reactive glaze is microwave safe and color won't fade.
- Oven safety
- Microwave safe, but oven safety is not confirmed; avoid oven use unless the manufacturer states otherwise.
- Affordability
- 12 CAD per plate; 6-piece set 72 CAD, far less than artisan reactive-glaze sets.
- Design
- Each plate has a unique reactive-glaze pattern and grooved rim for a curated look.
- Dinnerware fit
- 27 cm dinner plate maximizes serving area and fits with other sets.
- Finish
- Hand-applied reactive glaze on ceramic makes each plate unique.
- Temperature safety
- Microwave safe and tested for thermal shock and arcing; oven safety is not confirmed, so avoid oven use.
- Chip risk
- Ceramic may chip if dropped or knocked against hard surfaces; a rolled edge common in similar plates may offer some protection.
- Color impact
- Jewel-tone midnight-blue glaze with grooved rim adds a vibrant pop to any table.
- Color variation
- Each plate has a unique reactive-glaze finish while maintaining a consistent midnight-blue hue.
- Glaze properties
- The reactive glaze won't fade, resists stains, and is microwave safe.

- Matching pieces are sold separately, but the specific items available are not listed; check Simons Maison's collection for coordinating pieces.
- Glaze and pairing
- Each plate has a unique hand-applied reactive glaze and coordinates with other blue-toned dinnerware.
- Use occasions
- Equally suited for weeknight dinners and festive gatherings, with a generous 27 cm serving area.
- Practicality
- Microwave- and dishwasher-safe with stain- and fade-resistant glossy glaze.
- Exclusivity
- This plate is a Simons Maison exclusive, which avoids the multi-tier markups typical of independent studio pottery and helps keep the hand-applied reactive-glaze look affordable.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Large Grooved Blue Plate: Choose this if you want a large, generous dinner plate — it measures 10.5 inches (27 cm) across — in a deep midnight-blue that, per reviewer feedback, makes a vibrant statement at festive tables and everyday dinners alike. The shiny ceramic is finished with a hand-applied reactive glaze that gives each piece a glossy, speckled look with shallow grooves and a darker near-black edge, so every plate is unique and may vary slightly from the photo. It is dishwasher and microwave safe, and matching pieces are sold separately if you want to build a coordinated set.[1,2] | Large Modern Grooved Plate: Choose this if you want an oversized 10.5-inch ceramic serving plate with a hand-applied reactive glaze and grooved rim that, per reviewers, works for everything from daily family meals and dessert displays to formal tablescapes, and is dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe, and stackable for easy cleanup. Choose this if you appreciate the artisanal character of a reactive glaze, since each piece is unique and may vary slightly from the photo, with occasional glaze flaws or uneven rims possible. Note that the plate is lighter than typical stoneware, which may not suit shoppers expecting a hefty, restaurant-grade feel, and one reviewer was uncertain how the glaze will hold up over repeated dishwasher cycles.[3] | Large Minimalist Plate: Choose this if you want a large everyday plate with an elegant minimalist look: it is a 10.25 inch (26 cm) round ceramic plate with a shallow well, gently raised rim and glossy glaze, offered in Off White or Hazelnut in one size. It is dishwasher and microwave safe for daily use, and matching pieces are sold separately if you want to build out the set.[4,5,6] |
