Price Match

The Dudson Makers Urban Nova Plate is a 203mm flat plate finished in Lamp Black, supplied in packs of twelve. It is part of the Urban range, which takes its design cues from industrial textures and worn, man-made surfaces. The decoration is applied under a semi-matte glaze, giving the plate a distinctive muted finish that sits well against both rustic and contemporary table settings.

Made from vitrified fine china, these plates are built to hold up in professional service environments. Vitrified china is a practical choice for busy operations — it resists chipping better than standard porcelain and maintains its appearance through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. The semi-matte glaze finish is fired rather than surface-applied, which means it does not wear back to a base colour under regular use.

From an operational standpoint, the Urban Nova works well in kitchens where the table aesthetic is as considered as the food. The 203mm size positions it as a starter, side, or small plate — useful for sharing boards, amuse-bouche, or plated starters in a tasting menu format. Key practical points worth noting:

  • Vitrified fine china construction for durability in commercial dishwasher use
  • Under-glaze decoration that does not fade or peel with regular washing
  • 203mm diameter suited to starter, side, and small plate applications
  • Lamp Black finish compatible with both light and dark table linen
  • Supplied in packs of 12 to support standard cover counts and breakage allowances

The Urban range is well suited to independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and casual dining operations where a raw, industrial aesthetic is part of the interior concept. For high-volume canteen or contract catering environments, a more utilitarian plate range may offer a better cost-per-cycle outcome over time.

If you are building out a full table setting or need to match plates across multiple courses, the team is happy to talk through the range and help you arrive at a consistent look across covers.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Lamp Black finish likely to fade or wear with regular commercial dishwashing?

Because the decoration is applied under the glaze rather than on top of it, the finish is well protected against the alkaline detergents and high temperatures used in commercial dishwashers. Fade or peeling is not a typical concern with vitrified fine china finished this way, though as with all tableware, avoiding stacking too heavily will prolong the surface condition.

What service format is the 203mm size best suited to?

At 203mm, this plate sits comfortably in the starter, side, or small plate category. It works well for plated starters, amuse-bouche, sharing dishes, or desserts in a more casual format. Operators running a tasting menu or small-plate concept will likely find it among the most useful sizes in the Urban range.

Can the Urban Nova plates be mixed with other shapes or sizes in the same range?

The Urban range is designed with a consistent glaze finish and colour palette, which means different shapes and sizes within the range can generally be used together on the same table without looking mismatched. If you are building a full cover across multiple courses, it is worth checking that all the pieces you are considering carry the same Lamp Black colourway, as some ranges offer more than one finish option.
