Product Description
The Robert Gordon Forager plate is a mid-sized oval plate produced in vitrified stoneware with a reactive glaze finish. Because the glaze is applied and allowed to flow freely during firing, no two pieces carry exactly the same surface pattern — each plate has a subtly individual appearance while remaining consistent enough in form and colour to work cohesively as a matched set. The exposed, unglazed base reinforces the raw, handmade character of the collection.
Vitrified stoneware is a practical choice for commercial service. It is denser and less porous than standard earthenware, which means it resists moisture absorption, chips less readily under daily handling, and holds up well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. The finish suits modern plating styles where the plate is intended to be part of the presentation rather than a neutral backdrop.
This piece works particularly well for composed starters, small sharing plates, or desserts where the organic surface adds to the overall aesthetic without competing with the food. The reactive glaze palette lends itself to earthy, natural, or foraged menu concepts — though its practical durability means it can work across a range of dining styles.
- Each piece carries a unique reactive glaze pattern while remaining set-consistent
- Vitrified stoneware construction supports regular commercial dishwasher use
- Unglazed base adds to the handmade, artisan presentation
- Well suited to modern, ingredient-led plating styles
Sold in boxes of 24, which suits initial table cover requirements for smaller restaurants or acts as a top-up quantity for larger operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Each piece is individually unique due to the free-flowing glaze application, but the variation is subtle enough that plates read as a cohesive set in service. This is an intentional design characteristic of the Forager collection rather than a quality inconsistency, and most operators find it adds to the overall presentation.
- Vitrified stoneware is denser and less absorbent than standard earthenware, making it a practical choice for commercial service. It handles repeated dishwasher cycles well and is more resistant to chipping than unvitrified alternatives, though like all tableware it benefits from careful stacking and handling during washing and storage.
- For a 40-50 cover restaurant using this plate for one course, a single box of 24 is likely a starting point rather than a full complement — most operators factor in a buffer for breakage and dishwasher rotation. If you are planning a full tableware specification, it is worth discussing your cover count and menu format with the team to arrive at a realistic opening order quantity.
