Monsoon Pottery MCM Coupes

Slab-draped porcelain coupe style plates with a tenmoku accent on a white finish. We love this colorway because it fits seamlessly into the Mid-Century Modern home--a midwest classic. Whether you have amber or etched glass, Lane or McCobb, this set will have you covered.

Porcelain is elastic and we love how it almost has a mind of its own. We created this line to celebrate the wabi sabi nature of porcelain while bringing an easy elegance to your home. This color combination reminds me of traditional Japanese lacquerware. 

Small plates measure approximately 7-3/4" diameter and 1" tall.
Share plates measure approximately 9-1/2" diameter and 1" tall. 

Microwave and dishwasher safe. The underside of the plates are unglazed. While staining is unlikely on the unglazed region, regular washing (especially in the dishwasher) will keep them pristine. Made in Chicago.
