Dressed Side Plate, Set Of 4

A gentle scallop drifts around the rim of Marcel Wanders’ Dressed side plate, catching light like a pressed lace edge without tipping into fuss. The rest is clean, bright porcelain—no embossing on the face, no color to compete with whatever lands at center stage, be it a citrus tart, folded prosciutto, or a sliver of manchego. At eight inches across, the plate feels roomy on a crowded table yet stacks neatly when the night winds down. Sold in a set of four, each piece balances Alessi’s knack for everyday utility with a quiet nod to ceremony: small enough for aperitivo, crisp enough for dessert, sure-footed in the dishwasher, and ready to mingle with modern or heirloom settings alike.
