Karil Oval Plate 25cm (Ecru)

Bring gentle organic contours, comfortable daily utility, and artisanal Japanese ceramic craft to your table with the Studio M' Karil Oval Plate (25cm) by Marumitsu Poterie.

Named after karil - the ancient Tamil word meaning "spiced stewed dish," and a linguistic root of curry - this thoughtfully engineered plate was designed with a simple philosophy: to be the comforting, intuitive vessel you reach for almost every day. Its distinctive soft-cornered oval silhouette bridges the gap between a rounded platter and a deep shallow bowl. Featuring a subtle inverse-curved bed and gently sloped rims, it effortlessly guides spoons around sauces, gravies, and rice without splashing.

Crafted in Japan from durable glazed earthenware (tōki), the Karil plate is finished with a soft, non-reflective matte glaze that naturally highlights the vibrant colors of home-cooked dishes. It is ideally proportioned for fragrant curries, pastas, stir-fries, and grain bowls, yet generous enough to serve as a shared family platter for roasted vegetables and salads. On the underside, a charming backstamp depicts a bird perched on a pig—a whimsical nod to the staples of comforting home curries.
