Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Olive Branch, a bustling bistro in York, recently undertook a menu and interior refresh. They wanted their food presentation to match their new, vibrant direction and chose the Dudson Harvest Moresque plates to replace their plain white tableware.
"The moment we started serving on these plates, the reaction was instant. Customers were commenting on them, taking photos... it just lifted the whole feel of the dining room. They’re incredibly tough too, which was a huge relief."
Michael Davies – Head Chef
The bistro reported a noticeable 25% increase in customer photo tags on social media, giving their marketing a significant organic boost.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any transit damage.
- Before first use, run the plates through a full cycle in your commercial dishwasher to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing.
- Stack them in a dedicated, easy-to-access area to minimise unnecessary handling during service.
Keeping It Going
- Although dishwasher safe, avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh metal utensils which can scratch the glaze over time.
- Stack plates of the same size together. Avoid creating tall, unstable stacks to prevent toppling and chipping.
- While extremely durable, try to prevent severe thermal shock (e.g., moving directly from a hot dishwasher to a cold surface).
- Rinse off acidic or colourful food residues promptly to keep the vibrant blue pattern looking its best for years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates microwave safe?
A: Yes, the vitrified stoneware construction makes them safe for use in a commercial microwave, which is great for reheating.
Q: How resistant are they to chipping?
A: They are very chip-resistant. The vitrification process makes the entire body of the plate extremely dense and durable, designed for the knocks of a professional kitchen.
Q: Will the blue pattern fade after many washes?
A: The pattern is applied under the glaze, protecting it from fading or wearing off, even with frequent use in a commercial dishwasher.
Q: What does 'coupe' style mean?
A: A coupe plate has a gentle, continuous curve upwards from the base with no separate, flat rim. This gives you a larger, uninterrupted surface area for plating.
Q: Is the glaze surface perfectly smooth?
A: Yes, the plates have a smooth, high-quality glaze that is hygienic and easy to clean, preventing food from sticking.
Q: How well do these plates stack?
A: They are designed to be fully stackable, creating a stable, space-saving pile which is essential for any busy kitchen.
Q: Are they heavy?
A: As they are made from robust stoneware, they have a reassuring weight that feels premium without being overly heavy for staff to carry.
Q: Is the blue colour consistent across the whole pack?
A: Yes, Dudson maintains high manufacturing standards to ensure colour consistency, so all 12 plates in the pack will match beautifully.

Explore more from DudsonWhy 'Vitrified Stoneware' is a Kitchen's Best Friend
Ever wondered what 'vitrified' actually means? Think of it as giving stoneware superpowers. During manufacturing, the plates are fired at incredibly high temperatures, which causes the clay particles to melt and fuse together. This process creates a single, glass-like body (that’s what 'vitrified' means) that is no longer porous. For you, this means it won't absorb water, oils, or odours from food, which prevents staining and makes it far more hygienic. It’s the difference between a regular paving slab that soaks up rain and a glazed tile that water just rolls off. This is why vitrified stoneware is so much tougher and more chip-resistant than standard earthenware, making it the top choice for demanding commercial environments.
Who Should Buy This?
- Mediterranean & Tapas Restaurants: The Moresque design perfectly complements Spanish, Moroccan, or Greek culinary themes, enhancing authenticity.
- Boutique Hotels: Ideal for in-room dining or hotel restaurants aiming for a unique, high-end guest experience.
