How New Horizons Colour Glaze Tableware Works
New Horizons Colour Glaze tableware earns its reputation through a two-stage firing process that permanently bonds vibrant glazes to durable ceramic bases. The technique creates a tough, non-porous surface that withstands intensive commercial use. Each piece undergoes a special edge-strengthening treatment to reduce chipping—crucial for busy kitchens handling hundreds of covers daily. The glaze itself is lead-free and food-safe, maintaining colour brilliance even after thousands of dishwasher cycles. This combination of aesthetic appeal and practical engineering ensures these plates continue looking fresh long after standard tableware would need replacing.

Safety Guidelines
- Inspect Regularly Check for chips or cracks that could harbour bacteria.
- Heat Carefully Allow proper warming time in plate warmers—prevents thermal shock.
- Handle With Care Train staff on proper stacking to prevent chips.
- Avoid Metal Utensils Use plastic or silicone scrapers when clearing—reduces scratching.
- Proper Storage Store upright in racks rather than stacked high—prevents pressure cracks.
- Cleaning Protocols Rinse food debris promptly—prevents staining on lighter colours.
Top Tips for Using New Horizons Colour Glaze Tableware
To maximise your investment, rotate your tableware regularly to ensure even wear across your inventory. Dark coloured plates can show scratches more visibly, so use felt separators when stacking. Though dishwasher-safe, avoid harsh chemicals that might dull the finish over time. Pair with matching serving boards for a coordinated look, and consider contrasting napkins to create eye-catching table settings that enhance the dining experience. Remember that coloured plates affect food perception—blues and greens can enhance seafood presentation while subduing appetite slightly.
