Spike Luncheon Plate | Black

OAXACAN BLACK CLAY SPIKE LUNCHEON PLATE. Handcrafted Exclusively for Nomad Chic | Oaxaca, Mexico

A striking marriage of centuries-old Mexican craftsmanship and contemporary design, our Oaxacan Black Clay Spike Dinner Plate is handcrafted exclusively for Nomad Chic by skilled artisans in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Rooted in the region's celebrated Barro Negro pottery tradition, each plate begins with natural clay that is carefully prepared, shaped, and dried before being fired in a traditional wood-fired kiln.

The distinctive deep black color associated with Barro Negro pottery is traditionally achieved through a specialized firing process in which oxygen is restricted inside the kiln. This technique transforms the clay into rich charcoal and black tones.

The plate's defining feature is its dramatic border of pointed black spikes, creating a sculptural silhouette around a smooth, glazed interior. The glaze provides a finished surface, and the plates have been tested for food-contact safety.

The wood-firing process, combined with artisanal craftsmanship, gives each plate its own subtle variations in color, texture, and character.

Created exclusively for Nomad Chic, these extraordinary plates celebrate Oaxaca's ceramic heritage while bringing a bold, architectural element to the contemporary dining table.
