Product Description
The Finca Flint rectangular plate is part of Dudson's The Maker's Collection — a range designed to bring a more tactile, artisan aesthetic to professional table settings without compromising on the durability that commercial use demands. The 270 x 160mm format makes it a practical choice for plated starters, sharing dishes, and dessert presentation, offering a generous surface for chefs who want to dress a plate with care.
The semi-matte, hand-dipped glaze gives each plate a subtly individual quality — tonal variation is part of the design intent rather than a fault, which suits operators looking to move away from uniformly clinical tableware. In a busy service environment, that character holds up well; the fully vitrified body resists chipping and moisture absorption under the repeated handling, stacking, and washing cycles that hospitality tableware routinely takes.
From an operational standpoint, a few features are worth noting:
- Fully glazed foot reduces scratching when plates are stacked between services
- Dishwasher safe, suitable for commercial warewashers running on standard cycles
- Microwave safe, which supports plating workflows where dishes are finished or held briefly before service
- Vitrified body minimises porosity, keeping hygiene standards straightforward to maintain
- Supplied in a pack of 12, reflecting standard cover-count purchasing for most professional kitchens
These plates are well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and private members' clubs where tableware is expected to carry some visual weight alongside the food. They are equally practical in event catering settings where consistent presentation across covers matters. For very high-volume operations with rapid turnaround and heavy stacking demands, it is worth considering whether a more utilitarian range would offer a better cost-per-cycle profile over time.
If you are selecting tableware across multiple plate sizes or building a coordinated range, our team is happy to talk through which pieces from The Maker's Collection work together in practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The vitrified body and dishwasher-safe construction make them a practical choice for busy services, and the glazed foot helps reduce wear when stacking between covers. That said, for operations with very high throughput and aggressive warewashing cycles, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty utilitarian range might offer a better long-term cost profile.
- Yes — tonal and surface variation is an intentional part of the Finca Flint design. Individual plates will differ slightly in glaze depth and colour tone, which is characteristic of the Maker's Collection aesthetic. Most operators find this suits informal fine dining and contemporary restaurant settings well, though it is worth bearing in mind if your service requires a highly uniform table presentation.
- These plates are confirmed microwave safe, which supports brief heat retention before service. They are not suitable for direct use under a salamander or on induction surfaces — for finishing work of that kind, you would need to look at oven-to-table or cast iron serving solutions rather than standard vitrified tableware.
