Dudson Harvest Indigo Coupe Plates 220mm (Pack of 12)
£117.00(£140.40 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Dudson Harvest Indigo coupe plate is part of a tableware range built around a deliberately artisan aesthetic. Each piece is individually hand-glazed, producing a sponged rim finish that runs slightly differently on every plate. The result is a collection where no two pieces are identical — a quality that suits operators whose front-of-house concept leans toward natural, hand-made or farm-to-table presentation. A maker's mark on the reverse acknowledges the handcraft process rather than concealing it.
Beneath the handworked glaze, the plates are produced in England using Dudson's vitrified ceramic body. Vitrified ware is a practical choice for busy covers: the dense, low-porosity construction resists staining and holds up to the repeated thermal cycling of a commercial dishwasher without the surface degradation that affects softer ceramics over time. For a plate that is handled, stacked and washed dozens of times per service, this matters more than appearance alone.
In practical terms, the range offers a number of operational advantages worth noting:
- Dishwasher safe and microwave safe for flexible kitchen use
- Vitrified body resists chipping and crazing under daily commercial use
- Hand-finished glaze creates a consistent aesthetic variation across a full table setting
- Made in England under Dudson's established manufacturing standards
- Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for building par stock in stages
These plates are well suited to independent restaurants, boutique hotels, gastro pubs and café-dining operations where the tableware is expected to reinforce a relaxed, artisan atmosphere. The 220mm diameter works comfortably as a starter or side plate, or as a main plate for lighter dishes. Operators with high-volume covers or a preference for a more uniform glaze finish may want to consider a different range — the handcrafted variation, while intentional, is not suited to every front-of-house brief.
If you are specifying tableware across a new opening or adding to an existing cover count, it is worth talking through your full requirements before ordering. We are happy to help.
Frequently asked questions
Are these plates durable enough for daily use in a busy restaurant?
Yes. The vitrified ceramic body is a practical choice for commercial environments — it is denser and less porous than standard earthenware, which means it resists staining, handles thermal shock better, and holds up to repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. That said, no ceramic plate is immune to breakage under heavy stacking or rough handling, so sensible storage and handling practices still apply.
Does the hand-finished glaze look consistent across a full table setting?
The variation is intentional — each plate is individually glazed, so the sponged rim finish and glaze tone will differ slightly between pieces. In practice, this reads as a cohesive artisan aesthetic across a table rather than inconsistency, but it is worth bearing in mind if your front-of-house concept requires a perfectly uniform appearance. Operators who need a tighter, more controlled finish may find a standard glazed range a better fit.
How many packs would a typical restaurant need to order?
As a rough guide, most operators aim for two to three times their cover count to allow for items in service, items in the wash cycle, and breakage buffer. A 40-cover restaurant would typically hold 80 to 120 plates of a given size as a working par. Ordering in stages is straightforward with the 12-pack format, and we can advise on quantities if you share your cover count and service style.
