Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm Plates 190mm (Pack of 12)

The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm plates are hand-finished porcelain side plates, each produced with slight natural variation in colour and surface finish. That variation is intentional — it reflects the artisan process behind the range and gives each cover a degree of individuality whilst the collection reads consistently across a table setting.

In service, porcelain of this type handles the demands of a professional kitchen well. The plates are dishwasher safe and built to commercial durability standards, so they hold up through repeated wash cycles without the glaze deteriorating in the way you might see with lower-fired earthenware. The Storm colourway — a deep, moody blue-grey — tends to read particularly well under the warmer lighting common in restaurant dining rooms, and photographs cleanly for menu and social content.

Practically, the 190mm diameter positions these as a side plate or starter plate rather than a main course plate. They work well as:

• Bread and butter plates at a set table
• Starter or small plates in a sharing or tasting format
• Plating for desserts or small snack courses
• Accompaniment plates alongside larger serving pieces in the same collection

Because each piece differs slightly, operators should be aware that two plates from the same pack will not be identical. For venues where absolute uniformity is required, this range may not be the right fit. For restaurants where a handcrafted, artisanal aesthetic is part of the dining offer, that variation is a positive quality.

The plates are sold in packs of 12, which suits initial trialling or supplementing an existing collection. Higher-volume operations covering multiple sections may want to consider purchasing in greater quantity to ensure consistency across the full set.
