FAQs

Thanks to locally sourced clay and a careful crafting process, our handmade ceramic plates are ideal for busy restaurants and cafes that wish to add a touch of charm to their dinnerware without sacrificing durability. Even with continuous use, our pieces remain stylish and resilient, owing to kiln-hardened stoneware and skillful glaze work. 

Our handmade plates come with smooth, curved edges and allow for seamless stacking in limited spaces. On top of that, our artisans in Waco create wholesale ceramic plates in different sizes, colors, and depths, and will add a custom touch of your own unique logo if needed. No matter what your desired use is, you’ll receive a personalized dinnerware set, tailored to your brand or restaurant.

Our 10.5” coupe dinner plate and 9” coupe salad plate can be characterized by their shallow, gently curved edges. For a more modern and sleek look, our 9” straight-sided salad plate, 7” handmade share plate, and 10.5” straight-sided dinner plate feature a straight, shallow wall that meets elegantly at a right angle with the floor of the ceramic plate. We also offer a light-clay variant of the ceramic share plate and the handmade straight-sided salad plate.

Whether you wish to host a lavish dinner at home, create personalized gifts, or set up an upscale atmosphere at your food service venue, our handcrafted pieces are built for lasting functionality, timeless charm, and lasting impressions.

At Black Oak Art, each custom ceramic plate is made by passionate artists who bring every piece to life in a meticulous handcrafting process in our studio. Shaping, finishing, and detailing are all done by hand, making each piece distinct and special. From the first steps on a pottery wheel to a refined finish in the end, each stage is done with utmost care and precision. The result? Durable and elegant ceramic plate sets, expertly designed, built to last, and crafted to make each meal memorable.

To ensure the quality of our authentic wholesale handmade ceramic plates, we procure only the best stoneware clay from reputable local suppliers around the Waco area. Every handcrafted piece undergoes a high-temperature kiln-firing process to harden it, resulting in resilient dinnerware built to endure daily wear. On top of that, our glazes are made without lead or cadmium, and every ceramic plate is thoroughly examined at our studio to ensure the right weight, perfect balance, and flawless finish before it’s sent out.

Our ceramic plate sets are easy to keep in great condition and designed to be sturdy. Washing them by hand or putting them in the dishwasher is perfectly safe, so the cleaning is hassle-free. Additionally, you can safely reheat leftovers as well, as the material can endure microwave temperatures. However, to protect your handmade ceramic plates, never take them straight from the freezer into a preheated oven, as extreme temperature shifts can lead to cracking.

  • Is it healthy to eat on ceramic plates?

    Absolutely! When it comes to food safety, ceramic plates are one of the safest options to eat from. At our studio in Waco, our handcrafted pieces are made from high-quality natural materials, and our glazes contain no lead or cadmium. On top of that, it’s worth mentioning that ceramics are acid and heat-resistant, and unlike plastic, won’t release harmful chemicals and contaminate food.

  • What are the benefits of ceramic plates?

    If you value durability, charm, and lasting efficiency, ceramic plate sets are the right option for you. The natural properties of the materials used in production ensure they last a long time, and the timeless appeal makes them a stylish addition to your table. Additionally, they don't absorb odors or flavors, are quite easy to clean and care for, and keep food warm longer than metallic or plastic plates.

  • Are handmade ceramics worth it?

    Certainly! Handmade ceramic plates come with more character than mass manufacturing can pull off. However, it goes deeper than that. At our studio in Waco, each piece is made by passionate artisans with unparalleled attention to detail, ensuring that the final product is meticulously refined, made of the best locally sourced materials, and goes through a comprehensive quality check before it’s sent out. The result is a unique, captivating collection that is both beautiful and built to last.

  • How to care for ceramic plates?

    Produced with premium materials and high-quality craftsmanship, custom ceramicplates made by our artisans in Waco are both hand-washable and dishwasher safe. However, it’s important to avoid harsh temperature changes to prevent cracking. Taking extra care when stacking them can also greatly reduce the risk of chipping and or scratching.
