There is a reason this plate feels different from anything you would pick up in a department store. It was made by hand, on a wheel, in Thimi — a village in Nepal that has been at the centre of the country's pottery tradition for centuries. More than 100 potters work there, many of them from the Newar Kumale caste, bearing the surname Prajapati, passing the craft from one generation to the next. That lineage is not a marketing story. It is the reason the plate is made the way it is.
The JUST stoneware collection has a contemporary design that does not try to hide its handmade origins. The raised edges are practical — they keep sauces and gravies where they belong — and the clean, slender profile means it sits well on the table whether you are setting a full spread or keeping things minimal.
- Material: stoneware

Style it with other pieces from the JUST collection alongside table linen, natural wooden boards, or marble serving pieces for a considered table. Or let the food do the talking on a clean, unfussy surface.
Every plate you buy from So Just Shop supports the artisan community in Thimi directly — part of a wider model that generated 80,000 hours of paid work for artisans across Nepal, Kenya, India, and Colombia in 2021 alone.
