How Art De Cuisine Rustics Snug Tableware Works

Wonder what makes Rustics Snug so special in professional settings? It starts with premium stoneware clay, carefully formed and kiln-fired at extremely high temperatures to create extraordinarily durable pieces. This process produces tableware that's resistant to chipping and scratching—essential for busy restaurant service. Each piece features reactive glazes that create subtle variations in colour and finish, making every plate, bowl, and cup uniquely characterful while maintaining a cohesive collection. The high-fired finish ensures exceptional heat retention, keeping food warmer for longer than standard ceramics—perfect for those slow-to-eat customers!
