Caractère dinner plate, set of four
White porcelain dinner plates with straight edges, fired above 1320°C, made at Saint-Uze in the Drôme.
Our take
Porcelain fired this hard is genuinely durable and non-porous, so it won't take on odours or stain the way earthenware does, and it is rated from −20°C to +180°C for freezer-to-table use. It remains ceramic though: a hard knock breaks it, and there is no stated repair or take-back scheme, so end of life is landfill or general ceramic waste rather than anything the maker runs.

What's inside

Broken down per part, because a claim that holds for the body of a product often doesn't hold for its lid or seal. Flags cite EU law, not our opinion.
Body
PORCELAINkaolin, feldspar and quartz, fired above 1320°C; rated −20°C to +180°CStructural material, food contact
Ceramic vitrified at very high temperature from kaolin, feldspar and quartz. Non-porous once fired, so it will not absorb odours or stain the way earthenware does — but it is brittle under impact and cannot be repaired.
