Product Description
The Dudson Harvest Norse Nova Plate is a 178mm side or starter plate finished in grey vitrified fine china. It sits within the Harvest Norse range, which draws on the aesthetic of Nordic craft traditions — the surface carries minimal radial lines designed to suggest hand-carved marks, and the hand-glazing process gives each piece a slightly irregular, artisan quality that suits informal and contemporary table settings.
Vitrified fine china is a reliable choice for professional front-of-house use. It is denser and more resistant to chipping than standard earthenware, and the in-glaze decoration means the surface pattern does not sit proud of the glaze where it could wear or scratch through repeated washing cycles. At roughly 332g per plate, the Norse Nova sits in a practical weight range — substantial enough to feel considered on the table without being cumbersome to handle during service.
The 178mm format is well suited to:
- Side plates and bread plates in a full table setting
- Amuse-bouche and small starter presentations
- Dessert or cheese course plating in casual dining
- Sharing and mezze-style service
This plate is a practical option for restaurants, bistros, hotel dining rooms, and event catering operations looking for a consistent rustic aesthetic without the fragility of actual pottery. It will perform reliably through commercial dishwasher cycles. The textured surface requires no special handling, though as with all fine china, avoiding stacking at excessive heights in storage will prolong rim condition over time.
The Norse range is suited to mid-volume operations where tableware needs to hold its appearance over a full season of service. Operations with very high plate turnover or casual-format venues may want to consider whether a heavier-gauge option better matches their throughput demands.
If you are specifying tableware for a new opening or refreshing an existing range, we are happy to talk through the options before you commit to a quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Vitrified fine china is designed to withstand the temperatures and detergents used in commercial dishwashers. The in-glaze decoration sits within the glaze layer rather than on top of it, which means it is less prone to fading or scratching through regular machine washing than on-glaze printed designs.
- The hand-glazing process is intentional to the Norse range's aesthetic, so there will be a degree of natural variation in tone and texture from piece to piece. This is a design characteristic rather than a quality defect, and it contributes to the handcrafted appearance the range is built around. If you need very uniform colour matching across a large cover count, it is worth requesting a sample before committing to your full order.
- The Norse Nova plate works well in restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining rooms where a rustic or Nordic-inspired table setting is part of the concept. It is a practical everyday plate for mid-volume service rather than a high-throughput casual dining environment where heavier, more utilitarian china might be more economical over time.
