Uzbek Plate (Lyagan) “Terracotta” 42 cm

Description

This Uzbek serving plate, known as a lyagan, measures a generous 42 cm across and brings together tradition and beauty on your table. It is made for serving plov, meat and other shared dishes.

Crafted from terracotta — natural clay fired at high temperature — it has a warm, earthy tone and a slightly porous surface. That gentle porosity helps the plate hold the warmth of the food and lets the flavours come through. The material is natural and safe for contact with food.

Every Uzbek plate is hand-painted, so no two pieces are exactly alike. Made in Uzbekistan, this ceramic works beautifully as a table centrepiece and makes a thoughtful gift to be enjoyed for many years.

Food culture holds a special place in Uzbek life, with plov as the national dish — traditionally cooked over an open fire in large cast-iron kazans, alongside a variety of meat and vegetable dishes and traditional sweets. The country’s ceramics, often finished with beautiful hand-painting, are a proud part of that heritage. Large plates for plov, distinctive bowls and dishes for serving meat are just a few examples of this rich tradition.
