Famiware Smoky Ceramic Soy Sauce Dish, 6-piece

The weight of one of these dishes in your hand is the weight of dense stoneware, fired until the clay vitrifies. That heft keeps the dish planted on the table when you dip a dumpling or a spring roll. The pack says it is dishwasher and microwave safe, so it goes from counter to table to dishwasher without a second thought.

Beyond soy sauce, these dishes find a place for a single portion of wasabi, a spoonful of chili oil, a few grains of finishing salt, or a small side of pickled ginger. The six pieces let you set a place for each diner or line up a row of condiments for a shared meal. Their low profile keeps the dish from tipping when you rest a chopstick across it.
