Essential Buying Considerations

Style and Presentation

  • Consider rim width—wide-rimmed for fine dining, coupe for contemporary settings.
  • Match plate sizes to your menu style—standard 27cm dinner plates for main courses.
  • Choose between bright white or cream tones to complement your restaurant's aesthetic.

Durability and Practicality

  • Look for fully vitrified porcelain for maximum chip resistance.
  • Check stackability—saves valuable storage space in busy kitchens.
  • Consider weight—heavier pieces feel premium but increase serving fatigue for staff.

How Lumina Fine China Tableware Works

Lumina Fine China isn't just about looks—it's engineered specifically for commercial environments. The secret lies in its premium porcelain composition, fired at exceptionally high temperatures (typically 1200-1400°C) to create a vitrified finish that's remarkably dense and non-porous. This high-temperature firing process creates tableware that's simultaneously lightweight yet incredibly strong, with excellent thermal properties that keep hot food warm longer while remaining comfortable to handle. The brilliant white finish serves as the perfect canvas for food presentation, allowing chefs' creations to truly shine against the pristine background—transforming ordinary meals into memorable dining experiences.

Safety Guidelines

  • Inspect For Chips Check edges regularly—prevents cuts to staff and customers.
  • Heat Awareness Plates can retain heat—warn servers when using plate warmers.
  • Stack Carefully Prevent toppling towers—keep stacks moderate height.
  • Proper Handling Never use tableware to scrape food waste—causes microscopic damage.
  • Storage Care Store on cushioned surfaces—prevents edge chips.
  • Avoid Thermal Shock Don't move directly from freezer to oven—prevents cracking.

Top Tips for Using Lumina Fine China Tableware

For maximum longevity, avoid stacking pieces too high during busy service periods—aim for 12-15 plates maximum per stack to prevent pressure chips. When washing, skip the pre-rinse if possible as immediate cleaning prevents staining. For storage, consider plate stackers with protective edges or quality cabinet shelving. We recommend having at least 20% more pieces than your maximum cover count to account for breakages and busy periods, particularly with popular items like side plates and coffee cups.
