How to choose the right Stoneware Plates

• Match plate size and shape to your menu, from compact 17.5 cm plates for starters to larger dinner plates for generous mains.
• Consider coupe versus rimmed designs depending on whether you focus on sharing plates, casual dining or more formal multi-course service.
• Select colourways such as Sand, Marina, Night or Graphite that complement your food style and existing tableware.
• Plan quantities based on peak covers, allowing for turnarounds, breakages and tasting menus that use multiple plates per guest.
• Check stackability and storage space in your pass or back of house to keep service fast and organised.
• Ensure the stoneware is compatible with your dishwashers and heating equipment for smooth kitchen workflows.

Care and maintenance

• Wash stoneware plates promptly after service using commercial dishwasher cycles recommended by your detergent supplier.
• Avoid sudden extreme temperature changes to reduce the risk of thermal shock and cracking.
• Use non-abrasive pads and detergents to protect the glaze and maintain colour depth and surface sheen.
• Stack plates carefully with even stacks and flat shelves to minimise edge chipping during busy service.
• Inspect regularly for chips or cracks and remove damaged pieces from service to maintain presentation and safety.
• Follow manufacturer guidance on microwave, oven or warming drawer use to extend the life of your plates.
