Product Description
The Dudson Makers Urban Nova plate is a 152mm side or starter plate finished in Lamp Black, produced in vitrified fine china and sold in packs of twelve. The Urban range draws on industrial textures and surfaces, giving each piece a tactile, semi-matte finish that sits well against contemporary plating styles without requiring elaborate presentation.
In a busy service environment, durability matters as much as appearance. Vitrified fine china is a practical choice for professional use — it fires at high temperatures to produce a dense, low-porosity body that resists chipping and crazing better than standard earthenware. The decoration is applied under the glaze, which means the Lamp Black finish holds up through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without significant fade or surface wear.
The Urban collection is a good fit for operators who want a confident, design-led look without the fragility concerns that come with some artisan-style ceramics. The 152mm format works well as a side plate, a small starter, or a component in a multi-course plated menu. Practical points worth noting:
- Semi-matte underglaze finish resists fading through commercial dishwasher use
- Vitrified fine china body offers good chip resistance for everyday service
- Lamp Black colourway complements a wide range of food presentation styles
- 152mm size is a versatile format for sides, amuse-bouche, or light starters
- Sold in packs of twelve to suit standard par stock planning
At 152mm, this plate sits at the smaller end of the range, which is worth bearing in mind if you are building a full table setting — larger Nova formats are available within the Urban collection if you need a main course or sharing plate to match. For high-volume operations running multiple sittings, it is worth considering pack quantities carefully against your cover count and wash cycle frequency.
If you are putting together a full Urban Nova setting or mixing pieces across a wider table concept, our team is happy to help you work through quantities and format options before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The Lamp Black decoration on the Urban Nova range is applied under the glaze rather than on top of it, which gives it significantly better resistance to fading and surface wear than on-glaze decorated ware. In normal commercial dishwasher conditions the finish should remain stable through regular daily cycles, though as with all coloured ceramics, using manufacturer-recommended dishwasher chemicals and avoiding excessively harsh detergents will extend the life of the finish.
- At 152mm, the Urban Nova plate is well suited to side servings, bread, amuse-bouche, or a compact starter portion. If you are planning a full multi-course table setting, it is worth pairing it with larger formats from the Urban Nova range for mains and sharing plates to maintain a consistent look across the cover.
- A common planning guide is to hold three times your cover count in each plate format to allow for one sitting on the pass, one in use, and one in the wash cycle. For a 40-cover restaurant using this plate as a side or starter, that typically means five or six packs as a working minimum, though this depends on your sitting frequency and wash cycle speed. It is worth discussing your full requirements with us if you are equipping a new operation.
