The Rene Ozorio Wabi Sabi collection is a real standout. It perfectly captures the move towards more organic, authentic dining experiences. The reactive lichen green glaze is simply stunning in person, with a depth that photos struggle to do justice.

  • Pro: The unique glaze on each tray makes every dish feel special and  bespoke.
  • Con: The irregular finish requires careful handling and  stacking to avoid chipping the edges.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Gilded Sparrow, a contemporary bistro in Harrogate, was looking to refresh its tableware to better reflect its menu's focus on local, seasonal ingredients. They felt their old white plates were sterile and  didn't do justice to the vibrant dishes they were creating.

"We wanted our crockery to tell a story. The moment we saw the Wabi Sabi trays, we knew they were the one. The organic feel and  the fact that every tray is slightly different perfectly complements our ethos. Our food now looks like it truly belongs on the plate."

Robert Finch – Head Chef

Since introducing the Rene Ozorio VV863 trays, the bistro has noted a 50% increase in guests photographing and  sharing images of their food on social media.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give all trays a thorough wash with warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle.
  • Unpack and  inspect each piece carefully to ensure there's no damage from transit.
  • Plan your storage. As these pieces have a unique character, find a spot where they can be stacked safely without pressure on the edges.

Keeping It Going

  • These trays are fully commercial dishwasher safe. For best results, use a non-abrasive detergent to protect the glaze's lustre.
  • When stacking, be mindful of the irregular edges. Avoid nesting them too tightly to prevent chipping.
  • The fully glazed foot is a brilliant feature that prevents the base from scratching the surface of the tray below it.
  • While durable, always handle porcelain with care to ensure a long and  beautiful life in your establishment.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Tableware

Not sure what fits your style? Here’s a quick guide to picking the perfect tableware for your business.

Match Your Menu & Vibe

Let your food be the hero. Bold, colourful dishes pop on neutral or earthy tones like this lichen green, while rustic tableware complements hearty, traditional fare.

Prioritise Durability

In a commercial kitchen, things get dropped! Look for materials like double-fired or vitrified porcelain, which are specifically designed to resist chips and  thermal shock from dishwashers and  hot food.

Size and  Shape Matter

Think about your portion sizes, table space, and  dishwasher racks. A beautiful 160mm rectangular tray for restaurants is versatile for starters, sides, or desserts without overwhelming the table.

Consider Stackability and  Storage

Shelf space is precious. While unique shapes are visually appealing, check if they can be stacked efficiently and  safely. A fully glazed foot is a bonus, preventing scratches within the stack.

Think Long-Term Value

Investing in quality, designer tableware can reduce replacement costs and  elevate your customer's perception of value, making it a smart business decision beyond its initial cost.

What Customers Are Saying

"Absolutely beautiful trays that make our desserts look incredible. They're tough, too - been through the dishwasher countless times and  still look brand new. Worth every penny for the 'wow' factor."

Eleanor Vance – The Pastry Bench, Bristol

"Really lovely, unique commercial serving platter in lichen green. They add a real touch of class to our starters. Only downside is you need to be a bit careful stacking them, but that's a small price to pay for the look."

Samir Khan – Owner, The Coriander Leaf, Birmingham

"We use these for our canapé service and  always get compliments. They feel substantial and  luxurious. A fantastic find for our hotel bar."

More Than a Plate: The Art of the 'Wabi Sabi' Finish

You'll see 'Wabi Sabi design' mentioned, but what does that actually mean for your restaurant? In simple terms, it's a Japanese concept that celebrates the beauty of imperfection. Instead of churning out thousands of identical, machine-perfect plates, this design embraces subtle, natural variations. The reactive glaze reacts uniquely to the heat of the kiln on every single tray, creating one-of-a-kind patterns and  colour depths.

Think of it like the unique grain in a piece of oak or the pattern in a slab of marble. No two pieces are the same, and  that's what makes them special. For your customers, it sends a powerful message: you value authenticity and  artistry in every detail, not just in the food. It makes the dining experience feel less manufactured and  more personal.
