The Black Lotus colourway provides a deep, textured appearance and a strong, neutral contrast that works across a range of plating styles. Available in three sizes: 177mm, 228mm and 254mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from super vitrified ceramic and manufactured in the UK, these plates are built to withstand the demands of regular commercial service. Super vitrified ceramic offers a harder, more chip-resistant body than standard porcelain, which matters in busy kitchens where plates go through high-volume wash cycles and everyday handling. The finish holds up consistently over time, which helps maintain a uniform look across a table setting even after extended use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperationally, the Stone Quartz range offers a few practical advantages for front-of-house teams:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent glaze and pattern from piece to piece, supporting a uniform table presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChip-resistant super vitrified body reduces breakage rates over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishwasher safe for high-volume wash cycles without significant finish degradation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral colourway suits a wide range of menu styles and plating approaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in packs of 12 for straightforward stock management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoosing a size:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e177mm: a smaller plate format, well suited to side dishes, starters and dessert presentation.
