🤍 Crockery Sauce Dish White 4" (9.8 cm × 2.5 cm) — Clean, Compact & Hospitality-Grade

Elevate your plating with the Crockery Sauce Dish White 4" (9.8 cm × 2.5 cm) — a classic white ramekin that delivers chef-level presentation and commercial durability in a compact footprint. Designed for New Zealand cafés, restaurants, caterers, food trucks and design-savvy homes, this dish frames dips and condiments with crisp clarity, standardises portions, and stacks neatly for fast turns.

From soy and ponzu at a Wellington sushi bar to tartare and lemon aioli in Auckland seafood houses, this vitrified ceramic piece keeps sauces tidy, boosts perceived value, and survives the rigours of daily service.

✨ Product Description: Small Dish, Big Payoff

Purpose-built for single-serve condiments and tasters, the 4" dish (top Ø 9.8 cm, height 2.5 cm) features a shallow, gently curved basin that allows sauces to pool with a glossy finish. A smooth, pinch-friendly rim makes it easy for FOH to lift from tight plate clusters, while a flat, stable base sits securely on boards, bento trays, and entrée plates.

Hospitality-grade crockery

Fired at high temperature and fully vitrified, the ceramic body is dense, chip-resistant, and non-porous. The high-gloss white glaze resists stains and odours, tolerates commercial dishwashers, and shrugs off cutlery contact and bus-tub knocks.

Brand-neutral white that flatters food

Neutral white communicates hygiene and makes colour pop — think vibrant chimichurri, glossy chilli oil, bright pickled ginger, or creamy tartare. It pairs with white porcelain, black stoneware, timber boards, and slate without clashing with venue palettes.

Built to stack and store

A consistent rim and true-flat base allow dishes to nest with minimal wobble, saving shelf space and travelling safely in crates for catering and events across Aotearoa.

Heat guidance: Suitable for hot/cold foods and warming cabinets/heat lamps typical of crockery; avoid direct flame and extreme thermal shock (e.g., oven to cold rinse).

🌿 Benefits for NZ Venues & Homes

1) Presentation that sells

Clean white crockery amplifies colour and texture, lifting perceived value on sushi, dumplings, burgers, seafood, charcuterie and plant-based boards.

2) Portion control = cost control

A consistent 4" footprint helps standardise ramekin fills (imported sauces, aioli, relishes), reducing over-portioning and tightening food cost.

3) Real-world durability

Vitrified ceramic withstands daily stacks, passes, and dish cycles better than light porcelain and feels more premium (and wind-stable) than plastics.

4) Faster resets, cleaner passes

The non-porous gloss glaze releases sticky sauces easily, delivering quick wipe-downs and reliable dishwasher results during service peaks.

5) Space-efficient stacking

Nesting geometry keeps stacks tight and stable, maximising shelf and crate density for event kit and small sculleries.

6) Brand-agnostic white

Works with every interior—from coastal and Scandi to industrial and classic hotel dining—so reorders and multi-site rollouts stay simple.

7) Outdoor friendly

Weighted ceramic resists toppling on decks and beer gardens across Aotearoa, reducing slosh and accidental knock-offs.

8) Sustainable in practice

A long-life crockery piece cuts single-use plastic ramekins and frequent replacements—good for the planet and your P&L.
