Green stoneware inspired by nature

The Beryl collection is characterised by a deep, mottled green. The varied colour saturation and natural-looking surface mean that the tableware complements dishes based on seasonal ingredients, fresh herbs, vegetables and foods with a distinctive texture.

The green background can highlight, amongst other things:

• light-coloured meats and fish,
• seafood,
• root vegetables and seasonal vegetables,
• cheeses and fermented products,
• pasta, ramen and dishes with sauce,
• desserts with fruit, chocolate or cream,
• compositions featuring edible flowers and fresh herbs.

The colour of the tableware can provide a subtle backdrop for light-coloured ingredients or create a stronger contrast with red, orange, yellow and creamy sauces.

An uneven and partially rough surface

The surface of Beryl tableware is neither completely smooth nor uniform. The partially rough texture and varying colouration give the tableware a more natural, handcrafted look.

The varied surface also affects the way light is reflected. Smoother, glazed sections may have a subtle sheen, whilst areas with a more matt or rough texture provide a calmer backdrop for the food.

This finish goes well with:

• signature cuisine,
• modern plating,
• nature-inspired dishes,
• Asian cuisine,
• tasting menus,
• dishes with several distinctly different textures.

Hand-finished and glazed

Every piece in the Beryl collection is hand-finished and glazed. As a result, individual pieces may vary in shade, colour intensity, texture and the arrangement of decorative effects on the surface.

Differences may relate, amongst other things, to:

• the saturation of the green colour,
• transitions between lighter and darker areas,
• the degree of surface gloss,
• the intensity of the glazing,
• the perceptibility of a partially rough texture,
• the appearance of the tableware’s rims.

Natural variations do not constitute a product defect. They are a characteristic result of the hand-finishing process and give each piece of tableware its own unique appearance.

Selected stoneware composite

The Fine Dine Beryl tableware is made from a selected stoneware composite. This material allows for the creation of distinctive, non-uniform surfaces and a colour scheme that differs from classic white porcelain.

Stoneware is fired in two stages at temperatures of 850°C and 1320°C. The tableware has a heat resistance of up to 150°C.

When using the tableware, avoid exceeding the temperature specified by the manufacturer and sudden changes in temperature. Do not place a hot piece of tableware directly on a wet or very cold surface.

Three colour variants that can be mixed and matched

Beryl belongs to the stoneware tableware range, available in three complementary colour variants:

• Beryl – with a predominantly green hue,
• Lazur – with a predominant blue hue,
• Topaz – in sunny shades of orange.

The collections share a common style, uneven colouring and a partially rough surface. This allows them to be mixed within a single place setting without losing the cohesion of the overall arrangement.

The different colours can be used to:

• highlighting successive courses on a tasting menu,
• matching tableware to the colour scheme of the dish,
• creating contrasting table settings,
• grouping tableware according to the type of dish served,
• creating seasonal table arrangements,
• combining plates and bowls in different colours.

How to combine Beryl with Lazur and Topaz?

• Beryl and Lazur – a combination of green and blue inspired by water, vegetation and the natural landscape,
• Beryl and Topaz – a striking contrast between cool green and warm, sunny orange,
• Lazur and Topaz – a contrast between blue and orange that can emphasise modern and bold compositions,
• all three colours – a varied table setting that retains a common style and surface character.

Beryl can serve as the dominant colour of the tableware, whilst Lazur and Topaz can be used as accents. Each variant can also be assigned to a different stage of the meal service or type of dish.

Design inspired by Japanese style

The style of the collection, particularly the Topaz variant, draws on the Japanese approach to tableware, which values natural forms, irregularity and the visible effects of handcrafting.

Beryl can be used as a calmer, green complement to the orange Topaz range. Its uneven surface, organic shapes and variations between individual pieces harmonise well with tableware inspired by Japanese aesthetics.

The collection is ideal for serving, amongst other things:

• ramen and other Asian soups,
• sushi and sashimi,
• rice and noodle dishes,
• vegetables, fish and seafood,
• small portions and side dishes,
• dishes intended for sharing.

An extensive collection for various stages of the meal

Fine Dine Beryl includes tableware designed for main courses, soups, salads, appetisers, desserts, side dishes and Asian-inspired dining.

The collection includes, amongst other items:

• shallow plates – for main courses, starters and desserts,
• deep plates – for soups, creams and dishes with more sauce,
• an organically shaped plate – for creative and less formal plating,
• a serving platter – for starters, tasting dishes and sharing,
• conical bowl – for salads, soups and bowl-style dishes,
• oval bowl – for side dishes and dishes served in the centre of the table,
• ramen or salad bowl – for Asian dishes and larger compositions,
• Asian bowl – for rice, noodles, soups and dishes inspired by Asian cuisines,
• ramekin and dip dish – for sauces, side dishes, condiments and small portions.

Fine Dine Beryl plates

Shallow and deep plates allow you to put together a basic set of tableware for starters, main courses, soups and desserts. The green surface creates a striking backdrop for light-coloured ingredients and warm hues.

The organically shaped design allows you to move away from classic, symmetrical plating. It works well for compositions arranged along the length of the dish or those utilising ingredients of varying heights.

Bowls for ramen, salads and Asian dishes

Beryl bowls are available in various shapes and capacities. They can be used for soups, ramen, salads, pasta, rice dishes, bowl-style meals and desserts.

When choosing the right bowl, it is worth considering:

• the size and volume of the portion,
• the amount of stock, sauce or liquid ingredients,
• the depth of the bowl,
• the diameter of the rim,
• the space required for toppings and garnishes,
• whether a particular model is stackable.

Serving platters and bowls for sharing

Serving platters and larger bowls can be used for dishes intended for sharing, such as salads, vegetables, starters, fish, meat and tasting platters.

The irregular green surface complements a more casual style of serving, where several dishes are placed in the centre of the table and guests help themselves to the various elements of the meal.

Ramequins and dip bowls

Small dishes complement larger plates and bowls, helping to maintain a cohesive look even when serving sauces, dips, condiments and small accompaniments.

They can be used to serve:

• sauces and dips,
• olive oil and bread accompaniments,
• flavoured butter,
• pickled vegetables,
• nuts and small snacks,
• mini desserts,
• tasting portions.

Selected stackable items

Selected Fine Dine Beryl products are stackable. The ability to stack the dishes on top of one another helps to minimise the space required on shelves and streamlines the organisation of tableware in the back of house.

Stacking can facilitate:

• storing tableware between service periods,
• preparing a larger number of place settings,
• sorting tableware after washing,
• transporting tableware between the kitchen and the dining room,
• the organisation of the serving station.

Not all products and organic shapes are necessarily designed for stacking. Please check the information on the specific model’s product sheet each time.

Do not use in a microwave oven

Fine Dine Beryl tableware must not be used in microwave ovens. Dishes requiring reheating should be prepared in a suitable cooking vessel and then transferred to stoneware immediately before serving.

It is worth bearing this restriction in mind when planning kitchen operations, particularly in establishments that use microwaves to reheat or warm up individual portions.

Hand wash or machine wash on a low-temperature cycle

For the Fine Dine Beryl collection, we recommend hand washing or using a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle. A gentler cleaning method helps to protect the distinctive surface and hand-applied glaze.

When washing, it is advisable to:

• remove food residues as soon as possible after serving,
• avoid rough sponges and highly abrasive cleaning products,
• use mild detergents,
• select low-temperature wash programmes,
• position the tableware securely and at appropriate intervals,
• avoid the edges knocking against other items of tableware,
• dry the items thoroughly before stacking them.

Heat resistance up to 150°C

Fine Dine Beryl tableware is heat-resistant up to 150°C. However, this does not mean that it can be used in any heating appliance or exposed to sudden changes in temperature.

When using the tableware, please ensure that:

• you do not exceed the temperature specified by the manufacturer,
• you do not use the tableware in a microwave oven,
• you avoid rapidly cooling heated stoneware,
• do not place hot cookware on a wet or very cold surface,
• use appropriate protection when handling hot items.

Fine Dine Beryl for restaurants and signature cuisine

The collection is suitable for establishments where the appearance of the tableware is an essential part of the dish’s presentation. The green, mottled surface complements both modern restaurants and interiors inspired by nature or Japanese aesthetics.

Fine Dine Beryl is ideal for, amongst others:

• à la carte restaurants,
• fine dining restaurants,
• establishments serving signature cuisine,
• Asian and fusion restaurants,
• hotels and hotel restaurants,
• premium bistros,
• catering companies,
• cooking demonstrations and photo shoots.

How can you match Beryl to your table setting?

Green stoneware goes well with materials and accessories inspired by nature. It can be paired with:

• wooden tables, boards and trays,
• linen napkins,
• stone and raw ceramics,
• clear or smoked glass,
• black, steel or gold cutlery,
• natural plant decorations,
• Lazur and Topaz tableware.

Due to its distinctive texture and uneven colouring, it is best to exercise restraint when adding extra decorations. The stoneware surface itself is a key element of the table setting.

How to put together a Fine Dine Beryl tableware set?

The set can be based on shallow and deep plates, complemented by bowls, serving bowls and platters. For serving sauces and accompaniments, it is worth choosing ramekins and small dip bowls.

When putting together the collection, it is worth considering:

• the types of dishes on the menu,
• standard portion sizes,
• the amount of free space required for plating,
• the colours of the most commonly used ingredients,
• the number of place settings required for a full service,
• whether selected models can be stacked,
• the washing facilities available in the back-of-house,
• the fact that the tableware cannot be used in a microwave,
• items from the Lazur and Topaz collections that are intended to complement the tableware.
