Durable Crockery for Everyday and Professional Use

Each plate is fired at extremely high temperatures to achieve vitrification, resulting in superior density, hardness, and chip resistance. This makes it ideal for both domestic kitchens and high-traffic commercial environments.

The non-porous glaze ensures the surface remains hygienic and stain-resistant, preventing the absorption of liquids or odours. It’s also oven-safe, microwave-safe, and dishwasher-safe, providing versatility and convenience for cooking, reheating, and cleaning.

From busy eateries to family dining tables, the Crockery Plate Oval White 8” stands out for its ability to withstand daily use while maintaining its pristine appearance.
