500 MILLION YEARS IN THE MAKING

Slateware by Michael Caines unifies the natural beauty of 500 million year old Welsh slate with the demands of contemporary cuisine. The blend of sophisticated warm grey hues with a unique rich natural texture creates a perfect balance of soft allure and striking detail. The artistry of Welsh slate dinnerware and serveware is the remarkable blend of elegance, natural beauty and performance. Welsh slate is non porous allowing food to be served directly onto the surface. It is also easy to wipe clean and is dishwasher safe.

Fine

THE

COLLECTION

The Fine collection was initially conceived by Michael Caines for the Abode Hotels and is designed to provide an extensive range of dinnerware and serveware for the most contemporary settings. This exclusive collection allows the chef to present the drama of fine food on a surface “infused with history, texture and delicate hues�.

This collection imbues contemporary elegance with sharp lines framing with the distinctive natural texture of slate. The hues of the slate set the perfect stage to bring out the colour of the food. Some plates feature a grooved border to allow you to serve sauces and gravy. The fine collection is provided with feet that lift the slate off the table making the presentation even more spectacular and allowing easy lifting of the plates.

500 MILLION YEARS IN THE MAKING

The products shown in this catalogue are all made from 500 million year old slate, hewn from the famous Penrhyn quarry in North Wales.

Welsh slate deposits at Penrhyn were laid in the Cambrain and late Ordovician periods and through the centuries have been transformed through heat and pressure into this unique, beautiful stone. Expertly ‘split’ and finished by the craftsmen in North Wales, slate has long been used for roofing and architectural applications because of its superb practical qualities, unique texture and sophisticated hues.

Welsh slate is the highest quality slate in the world and is used for: • Work surfaces • Counters • Cladding • Flooring • Paving • Roofing • Landscaping • Dinnerware • Serveware
