Product Description
The Dudson Makers Urban Nova plate is a 203mm side or starter plate produced in vitrified fine china and finished in Steel Grey under a semi-matte glaze. The Urban range takes its visual cues from industrial textures — worn surfaces, raw finishes, and muted tones — making it a considered choice for contemporary dining rooms where the tableware is expected to complement a broader interior aesthetic rather than disappear into it.
Vitrified fine china is a well-established material in professional table service. It offers good resistance to chipping and crazing under the thermal and mechanical stresses of commercial dishwashing cycles, and the semi-matte glaze on the Urban range is applied beneath the surface rather than over it, which helps it hold up through repeated service without the finish degrading or becoming patchy over time.
In practical terms, this plate works well as a side plate, bread plate, or starter course plate in a plated service environment. The 203mm format is a standard size for this role and stacks efficiently for storage and pass presentation. Sold in packs of 12, the quantities suit most restaurant and bistro operations, and the consistent colourway makes it straightforward to maintain a matched table setting as pieces are replaced over time.
- Vitrified fine china construction for durability in commercial dishwasher use
- Semi-matte glaze applied under the surface for long-term finish retention
- Steel Grey colourway suits contemporary and industrial-themed dining rooms
- 203mm format appropriate for side, bread, and starter plate applications
- Pack of 12 supports standard restaurant cover counts and stock rotation

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Vitrified fine china is well suited to the thermal and mechanical demands of commercial dishwashers. The under-glaze semi-matte finish on the Urban range is applied specifically for professional use, which helps it maintain its appearance through repeated wash cycles better than surface-applied decorative finishes.
- At 203mm, this plate sits in the standard side and starter plate bracket. It is commonly used for bread, amuse-bouche, small starters, or as a side plate alongside a larger main course plate. If your menu requires it to carry a full starter portion, it is worth considering whether a slightly larger format would give your kitchen more plating flexibility.
- The Urban Nova Steel Grey is a current line within the Dudson Makers range, so replacements should remain available and consistent in colour and finish. That said, glaze tones can vary marginally between production runs, so buying sufficient stock upfront for your full cover count is generally the more reliable approach.
