How Super Vitrified Counter Serve Crockery Works

Super vitrification isn't just a fancy term—it's the science behind these hardwearing dishes. The clay is fired at temperatures exceeding 1200°C, transforming the material into an incredibly dense, glass-like substance that's essentially non-porous. This process creates tableware that's remarkably stronger than standard porcelain or stoneware. The result? Counter serve plates that resist chips, scratches, and stains while maintaining their pristine appearance through thousands of dishwasher cycles. The sealed surface prevents bacteria buildup, making these dishes not just practical but hygienic for food service—perfect for meeting stringent health regulations in commercial settings.
