At 26cm, the Caractère dinner plate is the piece around which the rest of the collection is built, and it is where designer Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance's concept reads most fully. Inspired by the weight and immediacy of a charcoal stroke, the plate's hand-deglazed rim exposes raw black clay in an irregular band that gives each piece a drawn quality, as though the boundary between glaze and clay were a deliberate mark rather than a manufacturing edge. The black clay from which each plate is made is both robust and refined — resistant to mechanical shocks and suitable for everyday use, yet polished enough to anchor a considered table setting. White Cumulus handles the high contrast well at this scale: the bright white interior and the dark irregular rim establish a clear, confident presence. Cardamom brings warmth to the same format, its earthy ground absorbing the black rim into a quieter, more organic palette that suits relaxed evening dining as naturally as formal entertaining. Revol has been making porcelain in France since 1768, and the Caractère dinner plate reflects the depth of that tradition.
