A black cylinder measuring twenty centimeters is the closest thing to a neutral shape in tableware: it has no curves, no foot, no flared rim, and therefore nothing that dates it. It highlights colorful dishes, such as a citrus salad, tomatoes, or red berries, much like a black background in photography.

What you need to know to install and maintain it:

• Wash by hand with mild soap and lukewarm water, then dry completely
• Do not use abrasive products, as they attack the surface carbon and permanently lighten the area
• Allow to return to room temperature before running under water after removing from the oven
• Sudden cooling will crack the earthenware along its entire height
