Porcelain Tableware

How to choose the right Porcelain Tableware

• Match plate and bowl sizes to your menu portions, from tapas and sides to large pizza and gourmet mains.
• Decide between classic round plates and square or rectangular options depending on your style of food presentation.
• Select cup, saucer and mug capacities that suit your coffee and tea offer, from espresso to large lattes.
• Consider coloured beverage pieces or patterned collections if you want to differentiate bar, cafe or dessert service.
• Check stackability and storage space, especially for high-volume sites with limited shelving or back of house areas.
• Choose hard-wearing, commercial-grade porcelain that is fully dishwasher safe for fast turnaround and hygiene compliance.

Care and maintenance

• Wash porcelain in commercial dishwashers using non-abrasive detergents to protect the glaze and finish.
• Avoid sudden temperature shocks by not moving items directly from oven or salamander to cold surfaces.
• Stack plates, bowls and lids carefully to prevent rim chipping, using plate covers or separators where possible.
• Inspect regularly for chips or cracks and remove damaged pieces from service to maintain safety and presentation.
• Pre-soak heavily soiled items to reduce scrubbing and extend the life of the glaze.
• Store cups, saucers and accessories in dry, well-ventilated areas to keep them spotless and service ready.
