Ever wondered what makes Super Vitrified Ultimo tableware so special? The magic happens during manufacturing when the clay composition is fired at exceptionally high temperatures—reaching over 1200°C. This extreme heat creates a denser, less porous structure than standard porcelain, essentially vitrifying (turning to glass) more of the material. The result? A remarkably strong plate or bowl that resists chips, withstands thermal shock when moving between hot and cold environments, and maintains its pristine appearance even after thousands of washes in commercial dishwashers. It's science that delivers practical benefits every service!

To maximise your Ultimo tableware investment, avoid sliding pieces against each other during washing and storage—this prevents micro-scratches that dull the finish over time. When stacking, place paper napkins between plates for extra protection, and train staff to handle properly rather than scraping plates directly into bins. Our restaurant clients find that using proper storage racks rather than piling pieces haphazardly extends lifespan significantly, keeping your commercial crockery looking pristine for years.
We've supplied tableware to thousands of UK establishments over our 50 years in business, and Super Vitrified always impresses. 'It's the sweet spot between durability and elegance,' says Charlotte, our tableware specialist. 'Most restaurants see at least 40% fewer replacements compared to standard porcelain—a massive cost saving over time.'
The Swan Hotel in Northumberland switched to Ultimo tableware last year after constantly replacing their standard crockery. 'We were spending a fortune on replacements,' explains Head Chef Mark. 'Since switching to Super Vitrified, we've seen breakages drop by nearly 70%, while our food presentation has actually improved. We paired it with quality stainless steel cutlery and customers regularly compliment the tableware. It's been a win-win for our budget and our brand image.'
