Black & Gold Plate
The Hedonism Plate 8 inch is a black and gold plate designed for modern food presentation at home and in professional settings. Made from premium terracotta, it has a naturally textured black finish with a smooth gold dipped glaze that gives the plate a smart, contemporary look without feeling fussy. The 20cm size is ideal for starters, desserts, small mains and side salads, and it works especially well for plating dishes where you want strong contrast, from bright citrus desserts to colourful veg and canapes. If you are looking for an 8 inch black plate with a gold finish for restaurant style plating, dinner parties or everyday tableware that feels a bit more special, this is a versatile piece that sits nicely with both minimalist and more dressed up table settings.

Does the black and gold finish suit everyday table settings?
Yes, the colour pairing is surprisingly flexible because the black reads as neutral and the gold detail adds a clean highlight. It works well with simple white linens and glassware, but it also looks great with darker, moodier tablescapes in winter.
What types of food look best on a black plate?
Foods with colour and texture tend to stand out most, such as green herbs, vibrant sauces, roasted vegetables, citrus, berries and glossy desserts. Pale foods can also look striking on black when you add a finishing touch like chopped herbs, cracked pepper, a drizzle of oil or a bright garnish.
Can I build a matching set around this plate size?
Yes, the 8 inch size is designed to mix easily with the larger 25cm and 30cm versions, which helps if you want a consistent look across starters, mains and sharing plates. It is a simple way to create a cohesive table without everything needing to match perfectly.
