Dudson Makers Urban Nova Plate Grey 178mm (Pack of 12)

The Dudson Makers Urban Nova plate is a 178mm side or starter plate finished in Steel Grey, produced in vitrified fine china and sold in packs of twelve. The Urban range takes its design cues from industrial textures and worn surfaces, with decoration applied under a semi-matte glaze that gives the piece a raw, considered appearance without looking unfinished. It sits within Churchill's Dudson Makers collection, which is aimed squarely at professional foodservice rather than domestic use.

Vitrified fine china is a well-established choice for busy operations. It offers a reasonable balance between weight and durability, and the vitrification process reduces porosity, which matters for hygiene and resistance to staining over time. At roughly 330g per plate, the Urban Nova sits at a practical weight for front-of-house handling without feeling insubstantial on the pass.

The semi-matte glaze finish is worth noting from an operational standpoint. It gives the plate its distinctive aesthetic but does mean that surface appearance may show minor wear differently from a high-gloss equivalent over extended commercial use. That said, under-glaze decoration is generally more resistant to fading and cutlery marking than on-glaze alternatives.

• Consistent grey tone that works with a range of contemporary plating styles
• Under-glaze decoration for improved durability in daily service
• Vitrified construction reduces porosity and supports hygiene standards
• Practical 178mm size suitable for side plates, bread, or small starters
• Sold in twelves, making restocking and stock rotation straightforward

This plate is best suited to restaurants, bistros, hotels, and cafés where a contemporary, industrial-influenced aesthetic is part of the interior concept. It works particularly well alongside darker or natural-material table settings. For operations needing larger main course plates or additional pieces within the Urban range, compatible sizes and forms are available within the same collection.

If you are building a full cover or matching across multiple plate sizes, it is worth checking compatibility across the range before ordering in volume. Our team is happy to talk through what works together.
