A bowl or a plate? A blate!

14 blates that find the best of both worlds

BY

Calling all couch potatoes! We recognise your struggle in finding the perfect dish: Plates are a big commitment but bowls are too constricting. Presenting our favourite portmanteau- the blate (bowl + plate)! ELLE DECOR India is serving up our favourite dishes (pun intended) for the season.

Produced by Apeksha Rao

When we say we appreciate beautiful plating, we are referring to the literal plate. In this case, Fabindia’s Zoya Ceramic Decaled Pasta Plate brings a touch of artistry to your dining experience. Crafted with precision, its intricate designs exude charm and sophistication.

What if we told you you could be sitting right at home, but eating out of Tuscany? Inspired by the Tuscan landscape, the Cucina Fresca Pasta Bowl brings to mind Tuscany’s sprawling fields of wheat, soft creamy clouds, cool Tuscan sky, rich red earth and lush green grass.

Is it a plate or an artwork? Maybe it’s both! Bitossi home’s Floreal Deep Plate appears hand painted, adding creativity and artistry to your mealtime.

Did someone say fresh and fun? That’s our favourite combination! And apparently, it’s Amalfee’s too, because they created a blate that is exactly that. Prepare to zest up your dining experience with their Zesty Lime Ceramic Pasta Platter!

Fleck is proving that something as essential and ubiquitous as plates can also be extremely unique and individual. Their pasta plates are finished on the potter’s wheel and decorated with a reactive glaze ensuring each dish is distinct.

These shallow bowls are a great companion to wholesome eats which feel like a warm hug – a steaming pasta or a hearty soup! The palm tree motifs in the centre are reminiscent of all things warm and wholesome anyway. 

If those playful palm trees aren’t for you these sophisticated ones certainly will be. India Circus’ Gardenia Dreams snack platter and coffee mug set is guaranteed to add sophistication and style to any meal or occasion. 

The Oiva plate is made of white stoneware and it features the Räsymatto pattern. The Räsymatto (rag rug) pattern inspired by allotment gardening, is linked to topical themes like sustainable living and the joy of working with your hands. Allotments, with their flower and vegetable beds, represent urban nature at its best. 

Motifs inspired by the indigenous flora and fauna of Madagascar, these shallow plates will evoke fond memories you won’t even know you had. 

Sophistication and style used in the same sentence? Sign us up. Olee Maatee’s Pebble Salad Plate , be it simple, is a timeless classic.

Inspired by an East Asian block-printed batik fabric, Garden Vine’s large-scale florals easily mix and match with Ralph Lauren x Burleigh’s custom patterns to create an eclectic combination that is perfect for everyday entertaining. Meticulously hand-finished by Burleigh artisans, each piece is a one-of-a-kind collectible, reflecting both companies’ commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

Less is certainly more. And this set proves it. Simple, minimal, but oh, so elegant. The White Amer Fort Dinner Plate is the perfect blank canvas for a mirage of colourful fun delicacies. 

These pasta plates from Tablescape by Eeshaan would make the ideal snack-time or post-dinner dessert accessory. Small but artsy, the perfect monochrome addition to a colourful table.

Last but certainly not the least, we’re sure the detailing on this set will stun you as much as it did us. Resplendent with beautiful butterfly motifs, this shallow bowl will leave you smiling and nostalgic.
