Uzbek Lyagan Plate 32 cm – “Terracotta” Hand-Painted

Description

This Uzbek serving plate (Lyagan) measures 32 cm is made for sharing generous helpings of plov, roasted meat or vegetable dishes. It brings together tradition and beauty in a single piece.

The plate is crafted from terracotta — natural clay fired at high temperature. Terracotta has a rich, warm tone and a light natural porosity, so the plate gently holds the heat of your food and helps its flavours come through. The material is eco-friendly and safe for contact with food.

Each Uzbek serving plate is hand-painted, which makes every piece one of a kind and adds a special charm to the table. Made in Uzbekistan, this ceramic works beautifully as table decoration and makes a thoughtful gift that will be treasured for years.

Food culture holds an important place in Uzbekistan’s national identity, with plov at its heart — the national dish, traditionally cooked in large cast-iron pots over an open flame. Alongside it, a wide range of meat and vegetable dishes and traditional sweets form part of the tradition, and the country’s ceramics, often decorated with beautiful hand-painting, are a proud part of that heritage.

Traditional large plates for serving plov, unique bowls and dishes for meat are just a few examples of Uzbekistan’s rich choice of tableware. This Uzbek serving plate carries that same spirit to your home.
