Product Description
The William Edwards Quanta collection is a range of fine bone china tableware featuring a distinctive white-on-white aesthetic, combining subtle geometric embossment with copper mica detailing. The result is a plate with quiet visual depth — understated enough not to compete with the food, but refined enough to elevate a formal table setting or tasting menu presentation.
Produced from bone china with a 47% bone ash content, these plates carry the translucency and lightness that characterises quality bone china whilst offering genuine durability for regular commercial use. In practice, that means better chip resistance than you might expect from a fine china product, which matters when plates are moving through a busy wash cycle multiple times per service. The scratch-resistant glaze also holds up well against repeated machine washing, helping the presentation stay consistent over time.
Practically, the Quanta plates work well in a range of front-of-house settings:
- Functionally stackable, making storage and plating station setup straightforward
- Dishwasher safe, with a glaze designed to resist scratching and dulling under regular commercial washing
- Light enough for comfortable front-of-house handling without sacrificing a substantial feel at the table
- The 220mm diameter suits starter and side plate presentation as well as compact main course plating
At 220mm, this is a versatile plate size — appropriate for starters, desserts, or as a side plate alongside a larger main course piece. Operators building a full table setting may want to consider whether companion pieces from the Quanta range are needed to complete a cohesive look across courses.
The Quanta collection is well suited to fine dining restaurants, hotel restaurants, private dining rooms, and any operation where table presentation is part of the guest experience. It is less suited to high-volume casual dining environments where a more robust everyday china range would be a more practical choice.
If you are building out a full table setting or have questions about how the Quanta range fits alongside other William Edwards pieces, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Quanta collection is designed with commercial durability in mind — the chip-resistant bone china and scratch-resistant glaze perform well in regular service environments. That said, it is primarily positioned as a fine dining range, and very high-volume operations with heavy plate turnover may find a more robust everyday china better suited to the pace and handling involved.
- Yes, the Quanta plates are dishwasher safe and the glaze is formulated to resist the dulling and scratching that can occur with repeated commercial machine washing. As with all fine bone china, avoiding stacking too heavily and using appropriate rack systems will help extend the life of the ware.
- The Quanta collection extends beyond the 220mm plate, with companion pieces available to build a cohesive table setting across courses. If you are specifying tableware for a full cover, it is worth discussing the full range to ensure consistency in finish and proportion — we can help with that conversation.
