Mezze Plate - Pura
The mezze plate made of delicate yet very robust porcelain is bordered by an opening rim. The upper inner area is unglazed, while the rest carries a shiny glaze. Mezze plates are suitable for small appetizers or the rounding off dessert.
The PURA porcelain collection is created in northern Portugal in a small factory dedicated to working with porcelain with great passion.
Porcelain is traditionally used for special occasions and adorns the great moments of life. However, its durability also makes it suitable for everyday use. The dish collection consists of seven shapes and three colors. Our collection features a rim about 1.5 cm wide at the top, which appears matte. The rest is covered with a shiny, transparent glaze. The porcelain can be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Questions & Answers
Porcelain has a history: In China, porcelain was made during the Tang Dynasty using a firing process with two ores: feldspar and kaolin. This process has undergone some changes over the centuries. Today, porcelain ceramic is made from the raw materials kaolin, feldspar, quartz, and clay. It differs from other ceramic products by the presence of three unique and fundamental technical properties. These are hardness, whiteness, and translucency. Porcelain has high mechanical strength, low porosity, and high density, giving it durability, harmlessness, a soft feel, and beauty in everyday use. Porcelain is created by higher firing temperatures and is largely insensitive to temperature fluctuations - it is fired at up to 1400°C, making the material robust. Each piece of porcelain undergoes a process of designing, composing, shaping, drying, decorating, and firing, resulting in tangible quality.
Porcelain, stoneware, and earthenware are often confused, but here are the differences: Translucency: Porcelain is uniquely translucent because it is glazed and fired at 1,400ºC, giving it brightness and whiteness and an extra dose of stability. Composition: Porcelain contains feldspar, kaolin, silica, and clay. In contrast, stoneware and earthenware contain silica and clay, with earthenware having more clay than kaolin. Porosity: Porcelain has almost no porosity compared to other ceramic products, making it hygienic and ideal for frequent use. Earthenware and stoneware, on the other hand, are porous, with the latter being glazed to significantly reduce porosity. In summary, porcelain is made from four raw materials, giving it high resistance and unique translucency. As a pore-free material, it is extremely hygienic and, thanks to its delicacy and beauty, suitable for every occasion. Porcelain is ideal for those looking for something sophisticated, exclusive, and durable.

The onomao products are designed for a long durability. They are dishwasher, oven and microwave safe. Handle your dinnerware with care and be careful not to expose it to drastic temperature changes, as this can cause cracking. With our matte glazes, cutlery abrasion may occur over time. However, this is only superficial and is usually easily removed with baking soda and a soft cloth.
