Product Insights
The Small Modern Grooved Plate from Simons Maison is a $10 plate that combines a hand-applied reactive glaze for a unique shade and pattern on each piece with a grooved texture that improves grip and reduces slipping on smooth surfaces. Its glaze is typically free of lead and cadmium, ensuring food safety, but the hand application causes visible color variation between matching pieces in the collection, which includes bowls and likely dinner plates and mugs. The plate is not oven safe—only microwave and dishwasher safe—limiting its heat exposure versatility.
Verified claims
- Reactive glaze
- Each plate has unique shade and pattern due to the hand-applied reactive glaze.
- Grip
- The plate has a narrow raised rim with vertical grooves; the grooved texture adds subtle tactile grip that reduces the chance of slippage when handling appetizers or desserts on polished tables.
- Food safety
- The plate is dishwasher and microwave safe. The listing does not provide a lead- or cadmium-free certification; modern reactive glazes from reputable brands are typically formulated without lead or cadmium.
- Oven safety
- Not rated for oven use; avoid oven exposure. The plate is labeled dishwasher and microwave safe.
- Matching collection
- Matching pieces are sold separately but not itemized on the listing; a Modern Grooved Bowl is available in the same reactive-glaze finish, and dinner plates and mugs are likely offered.
- Glaze variation
- Reactive glaze causes visible color variation between matching pieces.
- Finish
- Buyers describe the glaze as very shiny rather than matte, and it shows spots and fingerprints easily.
- Glaze imperfections
- Buyers report occasional uneven rim grooves or glaze flaws; the flaws are small and not worth an exchange for most.
- Colorways
- The plate is offered in three colorways: White, Taupe, and Green.
- Plate diameter
- The plate is 8.25 inches (21 cm) in diameter, a classic side/salad plate size that works for appetizers, salads, and desserts.

Serving everyday family dinners
A roomy plate for everyday family meals, reported by reviewers to be large enough to hold full dinners as well as salads, desserts, and main courses.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Small Modern Grooved Plate: Choose this for salad, lunch, dessert, or appetizer service: reviewers found this 8.25-inch (21 cm) green ceramic plate perfectly sized for such meals, with a shallow round shape, glossy hand-applied reactive glaze, and a grooved rim that suits both casual and formal tables. It stacks neatly for compact cabinet storage and is dishwasher and microwave safe. Note that the shiny surface shows fingerprints and smudges quickly, and some units can have minor glaze or rim inconsistencies, though these are often reported as small and acceptable.[1,2] | Small Grooved Blue Plate: Choose this if you want a small, 8.25-inch (21 cm) round ceramic plate in a navy/midnight-blue hue with a smooth speckled interior, darker glossy grooved rim, and a hand-applied reactive glaze that makes each piece unique. It is dishwasher and microwave safe, though because of the reactive glaze your plate may vary slightly from the photo, and matching pieces are sold separately.[3,4] | Slightly Speckled Small Plate: Choose this if you want a modern, everyday small plate: an 8.5 inch (21.5 cm) ceramic plate in White with a matte off-white glaze, fine dark speckling, and a slightly raised, gently two-toned rim. It is dishwasher and microwave safe, making it easy to use daily. Note that matching pieces from the line are sold separately, so you would need to add coordinating items individually.[5,6,7] |

Disappointing
They are ok but very shiny and therefore show spots and fingerprints easily so they look dirty. Look cheap, quite brittle too. Don’t stack well in cupboard. I don’t advise buying. I own the set. Bowls and plates are the same. The bowl is oversized so suits pasta but not cereal or soup. And they look dark brown not black at all.
Lovely Colour - Good Price
Both salad and dinner plates are nice and large. To avoid plates without imperfections, shop in person. One out of four both dinner and salad plates had an uneven rim groove and glaze. Flaws are small — not worth an exchange. Plates are beautiful.
Petite assiette
Moderne et ravissante, cette assiette est parfaite pour les salades et les déjeuners. De plus, elles se rangent facilement car elles s’empilent les une dans les autres.
Lovely Durable Plates
These plates are lovely. I already have a set of the dinner plates and ordered these for desserts, etc. Very pleased with the way they were packaged too to avoid breakage in transit.
