Premium Vitrified Crockery Construction

Each bowl is kiln-fired at extremely high temperatures, producing a vitrified, non-porous body that’s resistant to chips, cracks, and stains. The glossy glaze finish locks in strength and shine, preventing dullness even after years of heavy use.

It’s oven-safe, microwave-safe, and dishwasher-safe, providing professional durability with everyday convenience. Unlike ordinary ceramic tableware, vitrified crockery is built to handle commercial kitchen environments, ensuring consistent quality meal after meal.
