Quick answer
Choose the SERAX Surface Indi Gray S (16 cm) for bread, appetizers, or a side plate, and the Indi Gray M (24 cm) as your main dinner plate. Your decision depends on whether you prioritize compact, versatile serving or a full-sized dinner surface.
Size and function at a glance
The SERAX Surface collection by Sergio Herman draws inspiration from the unspoiled nature of Zeeland, using rough textures, intricate colors, and organic unevenness. The Indi Gray finish brings a deep, earthy gray that works equally well on a rustic farm table or a modern minimalist setting.
The two most practical sizes for everyday use are the Indi Gray S (16 cm diameter) and the Indi Gray M (24 cm diameter). While both share the same stoneware material and handcrafted feel, their dimensions change how you use them at the table.
What the catalog doesn't tell you
Neither size is oven-safe or microwave-safe by specification, so treat both as serving or dining plates rather than cookware. The weight difference (0.3 kg for the S vs. 0.7 kg for the M) is noticeable: the M feels substantial in hand, while the S is lighter and easier to stack or pass around.
Because the Surface finish is intentionally uneven, each plate has slight variations in color and texture. That is a design feature, not a flaw, but it means your set will have a one-of-a-kind look rather than perfect uniformity.
Decision rules: Which size fits your table?
- Choose Indi Gray S (16 cm) if: You need a bread plate, appetizer plate, or side dish for a multi-course setting. It also works as a small dessert plate or for serving olives, cheeses, or snacks.
- Choose Indi Gray M (24 cm) if: You want a main dinner plate for full meals, pasta, or a large salad. The 24 cm surface comfortably holds a main course without overcrowding.
- Mix both sizes if: You host dinners regularly. Use the M as the dinner plate and the S as the bread or salad plate. The shared Indi Gray finish keeps the table cohesive. Consider buying a set of each size to create a layered table setting.
