Blue stoneware inspired by water and nature

The Lazur collection is distinguished by its varied colour palette, featuring shades of blue and deeper blues. The varied colour saturation and natural-looking surface ensure that every piece serves as a decorative setting for your food.

The blue background works well with:

• fish and seafood,
• light-coloured meats,
• sushi, sashimi and Asian dishes,
• pasta, risotto and dishes with light sauces,
• vegetables and fresh herbs,
• cheeses and small snacks,
• desserts with fruit, creams and chocolate.

The cool shades of Lazur create a striking contrast with orange, red, yellow and green ingredients. They can also highlight light-coloured sauces, creams and delicate garnishes.

An uneven and partly rough surface

The surface of Lazur tableware is neither completely smooth nor uniform. The partly rough texture and varied colouring give the stoneware a natural, handcrafted look.

The more glazed areas may reflect light subtly, whilst the more matt or rough sections create a calmer backdrop for the ingredients. As a result, the appearance of the dish changes depending on the lighting and how the food is arranged.

This finish goes well with:

• signature cuisine,
• modern plating,
• Asian and fusion cuisine,
• dishes inspired by water and nature,
• tasting menus,
• dishes based on contrasting colours and textures.

Hand-finished and glazed

Every piece in the Fine Dine Lazur 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 to, amongst other things:

• the saturation of the blue and azure colours,
• 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 vessel’s rim.

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

Selected stoneware composite

Fine Dine Lazur 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.

The stoneware is fired in two stages at temperatures of 850°C and 1320°C. The tableware is heat-resistant up to 150°C.

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

Three colour variants that can be mixed and matched

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

• Beryl – with a predominantly green hue,
• Lazur – with a predominantly blue and azure colour scheme,
• Topaz – in sunny shades of orange.

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

The different colours can be used to:

• highlight successive courses on a tasting menu,
• match the tableware to the colour scheme of the dish,
• create contrasting table settings,
• categorising tableware by the type of dishes served,
• creating seasonal table settings,
• combining plates and bowls in different colours.

How to combine Lazur with Beryl and Topaz?

• Lazur and Beryl – a harmonious blend of blue and green, inspired by water, vegetation and natural landscapes,
• Lazur and Topaz – a striking contrast between cool blue and warm, sunny orange,
• Beryl and Topaz – a combination of green and orange suitable for natural and seasonal arrangements,
• all three colours – a varied table setting that maintains a common style and character of the surface.

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

Japanese-inspired design

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

Lazur fits well within this aesthetic thanks to its uneven colouring, partially rough surface and organic forms. It can serve as a cooler, blue complement to the orange Topaz collection and the green Beryl collection.

The collection is ideal for serving, amongst other things:

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

An extensive collection for various stages of service

Fine Dine Lazur includes tableware designed for main courses, soups, salads, appetisers, desserts, side dishes and service inspired by Asian cuisine.

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,
• a conical bowl – for salads, soups and bowl-style dishes,
• round and oval bowls – for side dishes and dishes served in the centre of the table,
• Asian-style 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 Lazur plates

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

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

Bowls for ramen, salads and Asian dishes

Lazur 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 blue surface complements a less formal 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

These 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 items are stackable

Selected Fine Dine Lazur products are stackable. The ability to stack 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 serviceings,
• preparing a larger number of place settings,
• sorting tableware after washing,
• transporting tableware between the kitchen and the dining room,
• organising 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 Lazur 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 washing or a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle

For the Fine Dine Lazur collection, hand washing or use of a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle is recommended. A gentler cleaning method helps to protect the distinctive surface and the 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 Lazur 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:

• do not exceed the temperature specified by the manufacturer,
• do not use the tableware in a microwave oven,
• 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 Lazur for restaurants and signature cuisine

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

Fine Dine Lazur is ideal for, amongst others:

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

How can you match Lazur to your table setting?

Blue stoneware goes well with natural materials and simple accessories. You can pair it with:

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

The set can be based on shallow and deep plates, complemented by bowls, serving bowls and platters. For serving sauces and side dishes, 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 the microwave,
• items from the Beryl and Topaz collections that are intended to complement the tableware.
