Delivery Information

Price Match

The Dudson Makers Finca Sandstone Nova Plate is a 178mm side plate produced in vitrified fine china, finished with a semi-matte, hand-dipped glaze that creates a multi-tonal, textured appearance. The Finca pattern is designed to evoke the worn surfaces of rustic architecture, giving each piece a natural variation in tone and texture. As part of the Makers collection, each plate carries individual makers marks on the reverse — a deliberate design choice that reinforces the handcrafted character of the range. Plates are sold in packs of twelve.

In commercial service, vitrified fine china offers a practical balance between visual quality and durability. The in-glaze decoration means the pattern is fired into the surface rather than applied on top, which resists fading and wear through repeated dishwasher cycles — a relevant consideration for any operation running high cover volumes. The semi-matte glaze finish suits contemporary plating styles and works well in settings where operators want to move away from standard bright-white china without sacrificing robustness.

At 178mm, this plate sits comfortably as a side plate, bread plate, or small starter plate depending on your menu format. The earthy sandstone tones work particularly well alongside natural materials — slate, wood, linen — and suit the kind of informal yet considered presentation found in independent restaurants, gastropubs, and hotel dining rooms with a rustic or artisan aesthetic.

This plate is well suited to operators building or refreshing a tableware range with a handcrafted, textured look. If your operation requires a larger plate as the primary setting piece, or if you need a more neutral colourway, there are other sizes and finishes within the Makers Finca range worth considering alongside this piece.

If you are putting together a full table setting or need guidance on which pieces work together within the Finca range, the team is happy to help you plan a cohesive selection before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Is this plate suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?

Yes. Vitrified fine china is well suited to commercial dishwasher use, and the in-glaze decoration means the pattern is fired into the surface rather than applied as a transfer, which significantly improves resistance to fading and wear over time. Most operators find this type of china holds up well through high-frequency wash cycles.

How does the 178mm size work in a table setting?

At 178mm, this plate is most commonly used as a side plate, bread plate, or small starter plate. It is not intended as a main course plate. If you are building a full cover, you would typically pair it with a larger plate from the same Finca range for mains and a bowl for soups or desserts.

Will the texture and tone be consistent across all twelve plates in a pack?

The Finca range is designed with deliberate variation in mind — the semi-matte hand-dipped glaze means each piece carries its own slight differences in tone and texture. This is an intentional characteristic of the collection rather than a quality inconsistency, and it contributes to the handcrafted aesthetic the range is known for.
