What the 250mm size changes at the table
The CLK-151 plate 250mm measures φ250 x H20 mm, which makes it a large dinner plate rather than a side or dessert plate. That extra surface area is the main reason to reach for it: it gives a main course room to breathe, and it works as a shared serving plate when you want one dish to sit in the middle of the table.
Because the plate is porcelain and part of the CERAMIC LAB series, it carries the warm clay texture and slightly uneven glaze that define the line. The product record notes that size, shape, and glaze appearance vary from piece to piece, and that a yo-hen effect can produce unintended color transformation after firing. Treat those variations as part of the character, not as defects.
The size and material in plain terms
-
CLK-151 plate 250mm / 10 inches: φ250 x H20 mm porcelain plate, available in white. The diameter and material tell you this is a main-course or shared plate, not a small side plate.
CLK-151 plate 250mm / 10 inches
-
CLK-151 plate 250mm / 10 inches: Product size and shape vary in each item due to the manufacturing process. If you are planning a matched stack or a tight shelf, expect small differences between pieces.
-
CLK-151 plate 250mm / 10 inches: The glaze can show yo-hen, an unintended color transformation after firing. Color unevenness is a known glaze effect, so judge the set by overall look rather than exact color matching.
Everyday serving ideas that suit a large plate
Use the 250mm plate where a single portion needs space or where the plate itself is part of the presentation. These are practical starting points, not strict rules.
- A main course with room around it: The wide surface lets a protein, grain, and vegetables sit separately instead of crowding. That makes it easier to serve and easier to eat.
- A shared dish in the center of the table: The 250mm diameter gives a whole roasted vegetable dish, sliced meat, or a composed salad enough room to be passed around.
- A simple breakfast or lunch plate: Toast, eggs, fruit, and a small side can share the plate without overlapping, which keeps the meal easy to pick up.
- A cheese or antipasti board alternative: When you want a ceramic surface rather than a wooden board, the plate works for small portions of cheese, cured meat, and bread.
Place setting and storage before the first meal
In a standard place setting, a 250mm plate is usually the dinner plate, so check your table width before you plan a full set. The record does not supply a recommended number of place settings or a stacking height, so measure your own cabinet and table rather than relying on a fixed rule.
The plate is described as microwave and dishwasher safe, but the care notes add two specific limits: do not overheat in the microwave, and do not heat without water. Those instructions matter most when you are reheating a portion, so follow them rather than treating microwave use as unlimited.
A care routine that protects the glaze
The product record gives clear care limits. Build your routine around them rather than around abrasive cleaning.
- Scrape, don't scrub: Remove food residue with a soft sponge or cloth. The record says to wash with care and to avoid abrasive cleansers or steel wool.
- Keep the dishwasher load sensible: The plate is listed as dishwasher safe, but avoid overcrowding so pieces do not knock against each other during the cycle.
- Reheat with water and without overheating: When using the microwave, do not overheat and do not heat the plate without water. These are the two limits the record states.
- Dry and store with a little space: Let the plate dry fully before stacking. Because size and shape vary slightly, a small gap between plates reduces wobble and chipping risk.
What to expect from the finish over time
The record notes that some products may take on a scorched-like texture on the surface. That is a description of the fired ceramic, not a sign that the plate is dirty. Clean it gently and judge it by the care instructions rather than by a perfectly uniform surface.
The catalog price is USD 34.95, shown against a comparison price of USD 46.60. If you are buying several plates, check the current price before you commit to a full set, since the record does not confirm how long that comparison price applies.
