Buying individual tableware pieces: complete guide

Buying individual tableware pieces is the easiest way to start with japandi tableware: you see and feel the material and glaze in your own kitchen before investing in a complete set, and you can add to it at any time without having to buy a whole set size.

Why start with individual pieces?

With handmade tableware, every piece differs slightly — colour depth, glaze pattern, edge. Photos on a website only ever show part of that. A single plate or bowl from our individual pieces collection shows you whether the material actually suits your table and interior, before making a larger purchase.

What does an individual piece cost?

With us, individual pieces start at €9 for a dessert plate or small bowl, up to €14 for a dinner plate — regardless of which collection you choose. That makes trying it out affordable, even if you don't end up expanding further.

Individual piece or a set?

An individual piece is the right choice if you're: still unsure about a collection, looking for a gift under €20, or want to add a single accent piece to your existing tableware. A complete set is more efficient if you already know which line suits you and want to set a full table right away — the price per piece is usually slightly lower than buying pieces separately.

Can you always add to it later?

For collections that stay in production — Cosmos and Elite — you can order individual pieces at any time. For Zafiro and Velvet, both last stock, that's not guaranteed: once stock runs out, the line doesn't come back.

Combining individual pieces

Individual pieces combine best within the same colour family. A Cosmos dessert plate next to an Elite bowl works well, for example, because both are in earthy, muted tones; a brightly coloured piece in between breaks the calm of the whole more quickly.

Frequently asked questions

Can I match an individual piece to a complete set later?
Yes, as long as the collection is still in production (Cosmos, Elite, Aura). For last-stock collections (Zafiro, Velvet), that's not guaranteed.

What's the cheapest individual piece?
Dessert plates and small bowls start at €9, the entry level of our whole catalogue.

Is an individual piece a good gift?
Yes, especially for someone who already has tableware and you don't want to push a whole new set on them. See also our guide on tableware as a gift.
