The Wheel Stoneware's creative collaborations yield plating options that complement food artistry, and the public can buy them, too
came on board in 2021, like any chef, she was keen on putting her stamp on the downtown San Diego restaurant. And that wasn’t limited to the Asian-inspired menu. The environment, including plates and serving platters, had to mesh with the food she was creating — from her Caviar Shrimp Toast and Hunan Lamb Chops to Tuna Kinilaw and Coal Roasted Cabbage.
The Wheel’s dishes have a distinctive look and texture. The glazes tend toward earth tones — although when I was there, a few pink platters sneaked in at a customer request. Some are a solid color; others bear the signature of glazes painted over one another to get a distinctive look.They’re not heavy, but as stoneware, they are solid and convey a warmth that you don’t always get in porcelain, which can also be more formal.
Judy Sayer, an artist and mother of The Wheel owner Michael Totah, places plates on a shelf after she stamped them with the company’s logo.The artist invited Totah, by then 22 years old, to apprentice with him for a few weeks. Totah became besotted witha firing process in which the glowing-hot vessel goes from the kiln to a container full of combustibles, then sealed for cooling.
“And then my lightbulb went off. They just want something they’ve never seen. They want something different than the guy next door. And so that’s really where it started to take off. They bought plates for three of their restaurants in Chicago.” Mat Gibbons inspects a platter he just folded into shape. He’s one of 10 employees who work at The Wheel.
The Wheel uses B-mix clay, a stoneware porcelain mix that works for food safety. Once they’re dry, the pieces are fired in one of three kilns on the property. Totah keeps things simple by not drawing designs on the pieces. Instead, they’re dipped into glazes, or the glaze is brushed on.
