MILLION YEARSIN THE MAKING

“I love presenting food on Welsh slate. The drama of the food set against a surface infused with history, texture and delicate hues deepens the adventure.”

Michael Caines


Slateware by Michael Caines unifies the natural beauty of 500 million year old Welsh slate with the demands of contemporary cuisine. The blend of sophisticated warm grey hues with a unique rich natural texture creates a perfect balance of soft allure and striking detail. The artistry of Welsh slate dinnerware and serveware is the remarkable blend of elegance, natural beauty and performance. Welsh slate is non porous allowing food to be served directly onto the surface. It is also easy to wipe clean and is dishwasher safe.

FineCOLLECTION

THE

The Fine collection was initially conceived by Michael Caines for the Abode Hotels and is designed to provide an extensive range of dinnerware and serveware for the most contemporary settings. This exclusive collection allows the chef to present the drama of fine food on a surface “infused with history, texture and delicate hues”.

This collection imbues contemporary elegance with sharp lines framing with the distinctive natural texture of slate. The hues of the slate set the perfect stage to bring out the colour of the food. Some plates feature a grooved border to allow you to serve sauces and gravy. The fine collection is provided with feet that lift the slate off the table making the presentation even more spectacular and allowing easy lifting of the plates.
