Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Gilded Pheasant, a contemporary eatery in the heart of the Cotswolds, was looking to upgrade its tableware to better reflect its modern British menu. They needed something that was visually striking but could withstand the rigours of a fully-booked service, night after night.

"Our food is all about beautiful, natural ingredients, and  we wanted crockery that would do it justice. These Raku bowls are fantastic – they feel special in the customer's hands and  are tough enough for our kitchen team. The colour is just spectacular."

Samuel Clarke – Owner & Head Chef

Since introducing the bowls, the restaurant has noted a significant increase in positive guest comments on presentation and  a 30% rise in their dishes being shared on social media.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Wash thoroughly in a commercial dishwasher before the first use to remove any factory dust.
  • Inspect each bowl upon unboxing to ensure they've arrived in perfect condition.
  • When stacking, place them carefully; the glazed foot is designed to prevent scratching between items.
  • Plan your storage to allow for easy and  safe access during busy service periods.

Keeping It Going

  • These bowls are fully dishwasher safe, but avoid overcrowding the rack to prevent chipping.
  • For stubborn marks, use a non-abrasive cream or pad designed for ceramics.
  • Periodically using a de-staining solution can help maintain the brilliance of the white interior.
  • While incredibly tough, always handle with care to maximise the lifespan of your tableware.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Tableware

Not sure which plate is your perfect partner? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Material Matters

Super Vitrified Porcelain like this offers the best mix of elegance and  extreme durability for most restaurants. For outdoor or high-risk areas, consider quality melamine.

Size and  Shape

Wide rims are fantastic for presentation, while coupe-style bowls are better for dishes with lots of sauce. Consider your portion sizes and  how you want to frame the food.

Colour Defines Your Brand

Classic white is versatile, but a signature colour like this Topaz Blue can become part of your brand identity and  make your food instantly recognisable.

Durability is Non-Negotiable

Always look for features like vitrification and  edge-chip warranties. A cheaper plate that breaks easily is a false economy in a professional kitchen.

Stackability is Key

Check for features like a glazed foot. This small detail prevents the base of one bowl from scratching the surface of the one below it, keeping your stock looking fresh.

What Makes 'Super Vitrified' More Than Just Strong?

You see 'Super Vitrified' on a lot of professional crockery, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? It's all about firing the porcelain at an extremely high temperature, which makes the material non-porous. Think of the difference between a terracotta plant pot and  a glazed mug. The pot soaks up water, while the mug's glaze stops it from getting in. Vitrification does that for the entire body of the bowl, not just the surface. This means it can't absorb moisture, food particles, or odours over time. The result? A far more hygienic bowl that resists stains, is easier to clean, and  is much, much stronger against chips and  everyday knocks. It’s the hidden science that ensures your tableware looks pristine for years, not just weeks.
