Essence Glass Plate, Set of 2

A piece so beautiful it works as an accenting visual in the diverse dining table arrangement. The Essence Glass Plate, Set of 2 from littala, is elegant and energetic, presenting you with a pressed glass construction stylized by a starry design. It’s a piece by Alfredo Häberli, a designer working his Scandinavian aesthetic with a rich family tradition in the gastronomic business. This traditional element work into the sheer practicality of the piece. The clean round shape and wide surface area make it great as a platter for appetizers or desserts. Once the food has been picked off the plate, an eye-catching star design reveals itself. This pressed glass design brings an energetic feel to any table. It cleans up neatly with a pass in the dishwasher.
