Sunflower Ceramic Grating Plate

The Sunflower Ceramic Grating Plate is a small-batch stoneware dish hand-selected for its distinct character and tactile connection to regional craft. Shaped by hand in a Cape Town studio, this piece introduces structured botanical geometry to your culinary ritual while keeping your fresh ingredients beautifully processed.

The Story Behind the Scout

• Botanical Engineering: This plate features a central sunflower motif where every concentric petal serves as an individual, sharp grating tooth.
• Dual-Glaze Contrast: The surface is finished with a reactive earthen-gold and sage glaze that pools uniquely around the raised teeth, providing an organic, multi-tonal aesthetic.
• High Utility: Designed to grate garlic, ginger, parmesan, or nutmeg into a fine paste without shredding your fingers, holding the ingredients and their flavorful oils directly in the well of the dish.
• Bypassing the Mall: We handle the drive and the logistics to verify the origin of this find, ensuring you receive a genuine piece of South African studio heritage delivered straight to your door.

Specifications

• Dimensions: Approximately 13cm × 13cm.
• Material: Ceramic with a glossy glaze.
• Care: Handwash only with soap and warm water. Use a soft brush if needed to remove debris from teeth.
