Classic deep plates by Chamba make wonderful dinnerware for special occasions and everyday kitchen use. In a variety of sizes, our black clay plates are not only beautiful for presenting meals, but make excellent serving dishes that will impress your dinner guests. Made from non-toxic material, these plates are ideal for the conscientious home cook. Black clay Chamba cookware is well-known throughout Colombia and is used in restaurants and homes for preparing and serving traditional dishes. Its origins can be traced back at least 700 years to vases and pitchers found in pre-Colombian archaeological sites. It is still made in the traditional manner, by families in the village of La Chamba, on the banks of the Magdalena River in Central Colombia. Each piece is hand-crafted using local clays, burnished by hand and fired on-site. The painstaking process and natural materials give the dishes an authentic, distinctive and elegant look. Chamba cookware heats evenly and is renowned for retaining heat, due to the mica in the clay. All-natural and unglazed, it contains no toxins. Chamba can be used in the oven and microwave - even on the stovetop and grill. It cleans up easily and should not be put in the dishwasher. We recommend the use of a heat diffuser when using Chamba on a non-gas stove.
