How Super Vitrified Clyde Tableware Works

Super vitrified tableware gets its remarkable durability through an intensive firing process at temperatures above 1200°C—significantly hotter than standard ceramic production. This extreme heat transforms the clay into an exceptionally dense, glass-like material that's nearly impervious to chips and cracks. The Clyde collection combines this advanced manufacturing with hospitality-focused designs featuring reinforced edges on plates and ergonomic handles on cups. The non-porous surface prevents bacteria harbourage and staining, while maintaining its pristine appearance even after thousands of wash cycles. It's essentially giving your tableware superpowers—ready to withstand the daily battles of busy service!

Top Tips for Using Super Vitrified Clyde Tableware

To maximise the lifespan of your Clyde tableware, avoid stacking plates too high during service—four to six is ideal to prevent excessive weight pressure. Store in proper crockery racks rather than stacked directly on shelves. When washing, allow items to cool naturally before washing to minimise thermal shock, and ensure your dishwasher rinse aid is topped up to prevent water spots. Consider plate covers when transporting food to maintain temperature and protect from accidental knocks.
