Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle in Bakewell decided to refresh their entire tableware collection. Their previous set was a mix of styles that had become chipped and  worn over years of service, detracting from their beautifully presented afternoon teas and  lunches.

"We needed something that looked the part but could handle a relentless cycle of washing and  serving. These Royal Porcelain plates were just the ticket. They feel substantial, the white is brilliant, and  they’ve barely shown a scratch since we got them. Our food looks better than ever."

Robert Davies – Proprietor

The investment led to a noticeable drop in breakages, cutting their crockery replacement budget by nearly 25% in the first year.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Give the plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust or residues from manufacturing and  packing.
  • Ensure you have adequate, stable shelving for storage that can handle the weight of stacked plates.

Keeping It Going

  • Stack plates of the same size together. Avoid creating tall, unstable towers to prevent toppling and  chipping.
  • When using a dishwasher, place plates in the correct racks to ensure they don't knock against each other.
  • Avoid extreme temperature changes, like taking a plate from the freezer directly into a hot oven, to prevent thermal shock.
  • Use non-abrasive detergents and  cloths to clean, as harsh scourers can eventually dull the glaze.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Not sure what fits best? Choosing the right plates can make a huge difference to your service. Here are a few key things to think about.

Material Matters

Porcelain is a classic for a reason: it's strong, bright, and  non-porous. For ultimate durability in a commercial setting, always look for 'fully vitrified' porcelain like these Royal Porcelain CG008 plates.

Consider the Rim

A wide rim, as seen on these plates, is brilliant for framing food and  creating an upscale feel. A coupe-style plate (with no rim) offers more usable surface area. Think about your plating style.

Size and  Purpose

A 240mm plate is a versatile size for mains. Make sure you have a range of sizes for sides, starters, and  desserts to create a cohesive and  practical tableware set.

Durability is Everything

In a busy kitchen, plates get knocked about. Look for features like rolled edges and  a vitrified body, which are designed to resist chipping and  extend the life of your crockery.

Stacking and  Storage

Before you buy in bulk, check your storage. How high can you stack them? Will they fit in your plate warmer and  dishwasher racks? Practicality is just as important as appearance.

The Hidden Strength: What Does 'Vitrified' Actually Mean?

You see the word 'vitrified' a lot with commercial porcelain plates, but what does it mean for your kitchen? In simple terms, vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature (over 1200°C). This intense heat causes the clay and  feldspar within it to fuse and  turn into a glass-like, non-porous material.

Think of it like the difference between a normal brick and  an engineering brick. The normal brick is porous and  absorbs water, while the super-heated engineering brick is dense and  water-resistant. Because vitrified porcelain absorbs almost zero water, it’s much more hygienic, far more resistant to chipping, and  won't be stained by colourful sauces or spices. It's this hidden process that gives these plates their strength for daily commercial use.
