Product Description
The Dudson Makers Finca Limestone Nova Plate is a 179mm side plate finished in a semi-matte, hand-dipped glaze that replicates the worn, multi-tonal character of rustic stonework and aged interior surfaces. Each piece carries intentional variation in tone and texture, and individual makers marks are left on the reverse — a deliberate design choice that reinforces the handcrafted aesthetic of the Makers collection. Sold in packs of 12.
Made from vitrified fine china, these plates are built for the demands of professional service rather than purely decorative use. The decoration is applied in-glaze, which means the pattern is fused into the surface during firing rather than sitting on top of it. In practical terms, this provides considerably better resistance to cutlery marking, repeated dishwasher cycles, and the general wear that comes with busy restaurant service.
The Finca range is well suited to operators who want to move away from standard white tableware without committing to bold colour. The Limestone finish sits comfortably across a range of menu styles — small plates, bread, accompaniments, and sharing portions — and works particularly well in environments with a natural, artisan, or farm-to-table positioning.
- In-glaze decoration resists scratching and fading through repeated commercial dishwasher use
- Semi-matte glaze finish adds visual texture without being impractical to clean
- Individual character variation suits informal or artisan dining concepts
- Vitrified construction supports durability in high-turnover table service
At 179mm, this is a versatile side plate size, though operators running high-cover services should consider whether pack quantities align with their par levels before ordering.
If you are building out a full table setting or want to discuss how the Finca range fits alongside other Makers pieces, we are happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The Finca range is manufactured from vitrified fine china with in-glaze decoration, which means the pattern is fused into the surface during production rather than applied as an overglaze. This makes them well suited to the repeated thermal and mechanical stress of commercial dishwasher cycles, with good resistance to fading and surface marking over time.
- Variation is a deliberate feature of the Makers collection. The semi-matte, hand-dipped glaze process means individual pieces will differ slightly in tone and texture, and makers marks on the reverse are unique to each item. For most operators, this adds to the character of the range, though it is worth bearing in mind if your concept requires a very uniform table presentation.
- A useful starting point is to calculate two to three times your maximum cover count to allow for items in service, in the wash, and held in reserve. For a 40-cover restaurant, that typically means stocking 80 to 120 side plates as a minimum. If you are unsure how the Finca range fits alongside other pieces in the Makers collection, we can help you work through the quantities before you order.
