The Dudson Harvest range really nails that authentic, earthy vibe that's so in demand. The Linen colour is beautifully understated, letting the food do all the talking. What I truly appreciate is that while they look delicate and handmade, they're tough as old boots – proper commercial-grade porcelain that won’t let you down during a hectic service.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Walled Garden Bistro in York wanted to refresh their tableware to better match their new locally-sourced, seasonal menu. They felt their old, plain white plates didn't reflect the quality and story of their food.
"We needed plates that felt as authentic as our ingredients. The Dudson Harvest Linen plates are stunning; they look handcrafted and our customers constantly comment on them. They make every dish look like a piece of art."
Robert Finch – Head Chef
The new presentation has directly contributed to a 15% increase in food-related social media shares from diners, boosting their online visibility significantly.
Why a 'Hand-Sponged Rim' Makes All the Difference
You might see 'hand-sponged rim' and wonder what it really means. It's a traditional finishing technique where the coloured edge is applied carefully by hand with a sponge before the plate's final firing. This manual process means the colour density and the line itself will vary ever so slightly from piece to piece within the same batch.
Think of it like a painter's signature on a canvas. While the main plate is perfectly formed and consistent, that final, hand-applied touch makes each one subtly unique. It's the crucial difference between a mass-produced print and a limited-edition piece of art, giving your service a genuinely personal and crafted feel that diners absolutely notice and appreciate.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any signs of transit damage.
- Run all plates through a hot wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use.
- When stacking, ensure they are stable. For long-term storage, consider using felt or foam plate separators to protect the glaze.
Keeping It Going
- Always rinse off heavy food debris before loading into the dishwasher to ensure a perfect clean.
- Use a professional-grade, non-abrasive detergent to maintain the matte finish and prevent clouding over time.
- Avoid using harsh scourers or steel wool, as these can scratch the beautiful porcelain surface.
- Handle with care when clearing tables and stacking to minimise the risk of chipping the edges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates sold individually or as a set?
A: These are supplied in a trade pack of 12 plates, perfect for kitting out a professional service environment or updating your current collection.
Q: Is the colour and finish consistent across all plates?
A: The base Linen colour is highly consistent. However, the hand-sponged rim is intentionally designed to have slight variations, which is what makes each piece unique.
Q: Can these plates withstand regular use of steak knives?
A: Yes, the vitrified porcelain body is fired at high temperatures, making it highly durable and resistant to cutlery scratches under normal, everyday use.
Q: What exactly does 'vitrified' porcelain mean?
A: It means the porcelain has been fired to the point where it becomes glass-like and non-porous. This makes it much stronger, more chip-resistant, and hygienic.

A: Absolutely. Being fully microwave and heat-safe, they are designed for serving everything from piping hot starters to freshly cooked main courses.
Q: How heavy is each individual plate?
A: Each plate weighs approximately 620g. This gives it a quality, substantial feel that signals quality to the diner without being overly cumbersome for staff.
Q: Do they stain easily from colourful sauces like tomato or turmeric?
A: The vitrified glaze makes the surface non-porous and highly resistant to staining. A proper wash cycle will remove any food residue effectively.
Q: What is the main benefit of a Harvest Linen chefs serving plate?
A: Its key benefit is its rustic, handcrafted appearance, which instantly elevates food presentation and helps you tap into the popular 'farm-to-fork' dining trend.
