Product Description
The Dudson Makers Finca Sandstone Nova Plate is a 203mm side or starter plate designed for commercial table settings where a considered, artisan aesthetic matters. Part of the Makers Collection, Finca takes its character from rustic architectural textures and worn interior surfaces, rendered through a multi-tonal print and a semi-matte, hand-dipped glaze finish. Each piece carries original makers marks on the reverse — a deliberate design choice that reinforces the handcrafted feel of the range.
Despite its artisan appearance, this plate is built for professional use. Vitrified fine china construction gives it the mechanical strength needed for regular commercial service, including the rigours of high-volume clearing, commercial dishwashers, and stacking in a busy back-of-house environment. The decoration is applied in-glaze rather than on-glaze, which means the finish is embedded into the surface and holds up considerably better to repeated washing and the general wear of a working kitchen.
From an operational standpoint, the Finca range suits restaurants, bistros, and hospitality venues that want tableware with visual warmth and texture without compromising on durability. The 203mm format works well as a side plate, bread plate, or starter course plate, and its neutral sandstone colouring is flexible enough to sit alongside a range of food styles and plating approaches.
Sold in packs of 12, which is a practical quantity for building or supplementing cover counts. For high-turnover sites or larger banqueting operations, stocking multiple packs to allow for attrition over time is worth planning for.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The vitrified fine china body and in-glaze decoration make this plate well suited to commercial dishwasher use. In-glaze application means the finish is integral to the surface rather than sitting on top of it, so it is considerably more resistant to the temperature and chemical exposure of a commercial wash cycle than on-glaze alternatives.
- At 203mm, this plate sits comfortably in the side plate, bread plate, or starter course role. It is a common size for table settings where a smaller format is needed alongside a larger main course plate, and it works well in casual dining and bistro environments where sharing and multi-course service is part of the experience.
- That depends on your cover count and service volume, but for most commercial operations it is worth holding a buffer above your working cover requirement — typically an additional 20 to 30 percent — to account for breakage over a normal service period. If you are unsure what quantity makes sense for your site, our team can help you work through it.
