The natural and raw form of stoneware

The Fine Dine Moon design draws inspiration from raw materials, natural surfaces and the irregular textures found in nature. The tableware does not resemble classic, perfectly smooth tableware, but has a more distinctive and artisanal character.

This finish complements dishes based on natural, seasonal ingredients, as well as presentations where the texture of the food is visible. Stoneware can complement both minimalist plating and more elaborate compositions.

A matt, textured surface

The most distinctive feature of the Moon collection is its matt surface with a tactile texture. The texture of the tableware reduces intense shine and creates a calm, natural backdrop for the dish being served.

The textured finish can emphasise:

• the contrast between smooth and crunchy ingredients,
• the sheen of sauces and glazes,
• the colour of fresh vegetables and herbs,
• the natural texture of meat, fish and seafood,
• the layered appearance of desserts,
• asymmetrical and free-form compositions.

The matt finish is in itself a significant decorative element, so the tableware does not require many additional table decorations.

Brown stoneware for an eye-catching presentation of dishes

The deep brown colour evokes earth, wood, rocks and natural materials. It can create a striking contrast to light-coloured ingredients or provide a harmonious backdrop for dishes in earthy tones.

Fine Dine Moon looks particularly good with, amongst other things:

• light-coloured meats and fish,
• seafood,
• root vegetables and seasonal produce,
• green herbs and lettuces,
• cheeses and fermented products,
• dishes with light or intensely coloured sauces,
• desserts with cream, fruit, caramel or chocolate.

A dark surface can showcase white, green, yellow, orange and red particularly well, helping to draw the guest’s attention to the centre of the composition.

Artisanal style in professional catering

The Moon collection is designed for establishments wishing to move away from classic white porcelain and introduce tableware with a more raw, authentic look. Textured stoneware can emphasise the individual style of the cuisine and the character of the interior.

The collection is ideal for, amongst others:

• à la carte restaurants,
• fine dining restaurants,
• establishments serving signature cuisine,
• premium bistros,
• hotels and hotel restaurants,
• restaurants with a natural or industrial décor,
• catering companies serving elegant events,
• during cookery demonstrations and photo shoots.

Fine Dine Moon gourmet bowl

The gourmet bowl provides a generous surface area for the creative presentation of dishes. It can be used for dishes with sauce, cream soups, pasta, risotto, salads, desserts and tasting platters.

Its shape allows you to:

• place the main element of the dish in the centre,
• leave free space around the composition,
• drizzle sauce along the surface of the dish,
• create dishes with varying heights,
• highlight the contrast between the dish and the brown background,
• create asymmetrical arrangements.

Moon oval serving plate

The oval serving plate allows you to create elongated compositions and serve dishes intended for one or several people. It can be used to present starters, main courses, snacks, desserts and tasting sets.

It is ideal, amongst other things, for serving:

• meat and fish,
• vegetables and side dishes,
• cheeses and regional specialities,
• finger food,
• multi-component desserts,
• dishes intended for sharing.

The elongated shape allows the composition to be arranged along the length of the plate, whilst maintaining a clear spacing between individual components.

Tableware for signature cuisine and gourmet dining

Fine Dine Moon fits well into a setting where the appearance of the tableware is an integral part of the dish’s concept. Its natural texture can emphasise the seasonality of the ingredients, the simplicity of the recipe, or the nature-inspired character of the menu.

The collection can be used for:

• tasting menus,
• creative plating,
• dishes based on local ingredients,
• plant-based and seasonal cuisine,
• rustic-style dishes,
• modern interpretations of traditional recipes.

How can Fine Dine Moon be combined with other elements?

Brown stoneware goes well with natural materials and calm, neutral colours. It can be paired with:

• wooden tables, boards and trays,
• linen napkins and tablecloths,
• stone, concrete and raw metal,
• clear or smoked glass,
• black, steel, copper or gold cutlery,
• cream and light-coloured porcelain,
• green floral decorations.

Pairing Moon with lighter tableware creates a contrasting table setting, whilst combining it with wood, linen and stone enhances its natural, rustic character.

Selected stackable items

Selected Fine Dine Moon tableware items are stackable. The ability to stack items on top of one another helps make better use of shelf space and streamlines the organisation of tableware in the back of house.

Stacking can make it easier to:

• storing tableware between serviceings,
• preparing a larger number of place settings,
• sorting tableware,
• organising the serving station,
• transporting tableware between the kitchen and the dining room.

Always check the product information sheet for the specific model to confirm whether it is stackable. Tableware should be stacked securely and without forming piles that are too high.

Do not use in a microwave oven

Fine Dine Moon tableware must not be used in microwave ovens. Dishes requiring reheating should be prepared in a container suitable for the appliance in question, and then transferred to stoneware before serving.

This restriction should be taken into account when planning kitchen workflows, particularly in establishments that use microwaves to regenerate or reheat individual portions.

Care of textured stoneware

Washing and care instructions should be followed as set out on the specific product information sheet. The textured surface may require thorough removal of sauce, cream and other food residues from the dish’s uneven surfaces.

During use, it is advisable to:

• remove food residues as soon as possible after serving,
• avoid highly abrasive sponges and accessories,
• use cleaning products designed for catering tableware,
• rinse detergent thoroughly from the textured surface,
• avoid knocking the rims against other tableware,
• dry the tableware thoroughly before stacking.
