William Edwards Celestine Coupe Butter Dishes 80mm (24 Pack)
£383.00(£459.60 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The William Edwards Celestine butter dish is part of a fine bone china tableware collection designed for formal and premium casual dining environments. The coupe profile keeps lines clean on the table, and the 80mm diameter is a practical size for individual service — large enough for a portion portion of butter or accompanying condiment, compact enough not to crowd a place setting.
Celestine's defining characteristic is its pinstriped decoration combined with a subtle iridescent glaze that shifts tone under different light conditions. This gives the collection a considered, distinctive appearance without relying on heavy pattern work — a balance that tends to sit well in contemporary fine dining rooms and hotel restaurants where tableware needs to be visually coherent across a full cover.
Fine bone china is the right material choice where chip resistance and a lighter weight are both priorities. The high-temperature glaze firing produces a hard, smooth surface that holds up well through repeated dishwasher cycles and resists staining from common table condiments. Operationally, this translates to a longer service life and lower replacement frequency compared with lower-fired earthenware alternatives. The dishes are also microwave safe, which broadens their usefulness in service. Supplied in a pack of 24, the quantity suits a single dining room refresh or stock rotation without over-committing on storage.
These dishes are well suited to hotels, fine dining restaurants, private members' clubs, and similar venues where tableware presentation is taken seriously. For higher-volume operations running multiple sittings across a large dining room, it is worth reviewing the full Celestine range to ensure cover numbers and breakage allowances are properly accounted for.
If you are building out a full table scheme or mixing pieces across a collection, the team is happy to talk through what works well together before you place an order.
Frequently asked questions
Are these butter dishes suitable for fine dining restaurant use?
Yes — the Celestine collection is designed with premium hospitality environments in mind. The iridescent glaze and pinstripe decoration give a refined appearance that holds up well in formal dining settings, and fine bone china is a well-established choice where presentation and durability both matter.
How well do fine bone china dishes hold up through commercial dishwasher cycles?
Fine bone china fired at high temperature produces a dense, hard glaze that is more resistant to the thermal and chemical stresses of commercial dishwashing than lower-fired ceramics. That said, like all tableware, longevity depends on correct racking, avoiding overcrowding, and using dishwasher detergents at appropriate concentrations.
Is a pack of 24 the right quantity for my operation?
For a restaurant running up to around 40 covers per sitting, 24 pieces gives reasonable working stock with some allowance for breakage. Larger dining rooms or operations running back-to-back sittings with limited time between service will typically want a higher quantity on hand — it is worth factoring in your full cover count and how quickly pieces cycle through the wash before ordering.
