Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rowan Tree Kitchen in Keswick, Lake District, decided to refresh their entire tableware collection to better reflect their new, locally-sourced menu. They needed something that felt authentic and high-quality, and chose the Dudson Harvest range.
"The moment we unboxed these plates, we knew we'd made the right choice. The deep ink colour makes our food look incredible, and our customers constantly comment on them. They feel special, which is exactly the impression we want to make."
Alistair Finch – Head Chef
The change has led to a noticeable increase in social media engagement, with more diners photographing and sharing their meals online.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
First Use & Handling
- Upon delivery, give the plates a thorough wash with detergent to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
- To prevent thermal shock (which can cause cracking), avoid moving plates directly from a hot dishwasher to a cold surface.
- If pre-warming plates for hot food, do so gently in a plate warmer rather than a searing hot oven.
Keeping Them Perfect
- These plates are designed for commercial dishwashers, but avoid overcrowding racks to ensure a perfect clean.
- For any stubborn marks, use a soft cloth or non-abrasive cream cleaner. Avoid using steel wool or harsh scourers.
- Stack carefully. While the glazed base prevents scratching, proper stacking reduces the risk of chipping the edges.
- Regularly check for any small chips or cracks, and remove any damaged items from service to maintain safety standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'coupe' style mean?
A: A coupe plate is a modern, rimless design. This gives you a slightly larger, uninterrupted surface area, which is perfect for creative food presentation.
Q: Are these plates genuinely handmade?
A: While formed by machine for consistency, each Dudson Harvest FE348 plate is glazed by hand, which is what gives each one its unique finish and character.
Q: Can they handle a busy commercial dishwasher?
A: Absolutely. They are specifically designed and tested to withstand the high temperatures and potent detergents of professional dishwashing cycles.
Q: Is it safe to put these plates in the microwave?
A: Yes, they are fully microwave safe, making them brilliant for quickly and safely reheating food items.
Q: What's the main benefit of a 'fully glazed base'?
A: It's a premium feature that prevents the base from scratching other plates when stacked or your tabletops. It also improves hygiene as the surface is non-porous.
Q: Is the Dudson 165mm coupe plate durable enough for daily restaurant use?
A: Yes, it's crafted from a high-quality, vitrified porcelain body that is very resistant to chips and built for the rigours of a busy catering environment.
Q: What kind of dishes work best on this size of plate?
A: At 165mm (6.5 inches), they are the perfect size for serving starters, side dishes, individual desserts, or small cakes and pastries in a café setting.
Q: Will the colour and pattern be identical on every plate?
A: Due to the hand-applied glaze, you should expect slight, subtle variations in the colour and pattern. This is a deliberate feature that enhances their authentic, rustic charm.
Q: What does 'Box Qty: 12' mean?
A: This means the plates are priced and shipped in boxes containing 12 individual plates, making it convenient for professional purchasing.

Ever stacked plates and heard that horrible grating sound? That’s often caused by an unglazed, rough base – known as a 'bisque footring' – grinding against the plate below. This porous ring can not only scratch other crockery and your tabletops, but it can also absorb moisture and odours over time, which isn't ideal for hygiene.
Think of it like the difference between a sealed, varnished floor and raw, unfinished wood. The Dudson Harvest plate's fully glazed base is like that perfectly sealed floor. It’s completely smooth, non-porous, and hygienic. This means when you stack them, they glide smoothly without causing damage, and there’s nowhere for water or bacteria to hide. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference to the lifespan and cleanliness of your tableware.
