Nature-inspired design

The Silk collection draws inspiration from natural, imperfectly regular forms. Gentle lines, organic proportions and varied surfaces ensure that the tableware does not resemble classic, uniform tableware.

The collection’s design complements dishes based on seasonal ingredients, fresh herbs, vegetables, fish, meat and products with a distinct texture. The tableware can serve as a natural extension of the chef’s culinary creation.

The combination of glazed and matt surfaces

One of the collection’s key features is the juxtaposition of glazed sections with matt surfaces. The differences in sheen and texture lend the tableware depth and cause it to change appearance depending on the angle of the light.

The glazed sections reflect light and can emphasise the colour of sauces and fresh ingredients. The matt sections provide a calmer backdrop against which the details of the composition stand out clearly.

This finish is particularly well-suited to:

• minimalist plating,
• dishes consisting of several contrasting elements,
• compositions based on sauces and emulsions,
• dishes decorated with herbs and edible flowers,
• desserts with varied textures,
• signature tasting menus.

A carefully selected stoneware composite

Fine Dine Silk tableware is made from a selected stoneware composite. The material allows for distinctive shapes, striking surfaces and a colour palette that differs from traditional 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 cold or wet surface.

Tableware for professional gourmet kitchens

Fine Dine Silk is designed for establishments where the manner of presentation forms an essential part of the culinary experience. The variety of shapes and sizes allows the tableware to be tailored to the concept of the dish, rather than limiting the presentation to classic round plates.

The collection can be used, amongst other places, in:

• fine dining restaurants,
• à la carte restaurants,
• hotels and hotel restaurants,
• establishments serving signature cuisine,
• tasting menu restaurants,
• premium bistros,
• catering companies serving elegant events,
• during cookery demonstrations and food photography shoots.

Colours inspired by the landscape

Selected Fine Dine Silk tableware is available in various colour options, including shades of grey, blue, green and yellow. The colours can be matched to the nature of the dish, the restaurant’s décor or the seasonal menu.

Individual colour variants can serve different purposes:

• grey – creates a neutral backdrop for light and intensely coloured ingredients,
• blue – can highlight fish dishes, seafood and water-inspired compositions,
• green – complements plant-based cuisine, herbs and seasonal vegetables well,
• yellow – adds a warm touch and contrasts well with dark sauces and desserts.

Colour availability depends on the specific model and size of the plate.

Fine Dine Silk plates

The collection includes shallow and deep plates with modern proportions. They can be used to serve starters, main courses, soups, desserts and dishes with a generous amount of sauce.

When choosing a plate, it is worth considering:

• the size of a standard portion,
• the amount of free space needed for plating,
• the depth of the plate,
• the amount of sauce or liquid ingredients,
• the colour of the dish and the desired contrast,
• how it is carried and arranged on the table.

Gourmet bowls for creative plating

Gourmet bowls are characterised by their wide shape and large surface area designed for presenting dishes. They can be used for dishes with sauce, pasta, risotto, cream soups, desserts and tasting platters.

The generous surface area of the bowl allows you to:

• place the main element of the dish in the centre,
• drizzle sauce along the natural curve of the bowl,
• create compositions with plenty of negative space,
• showcase accompaniments of varying heights and textures,
• create asymmetrical arrangements,
• separate the individual elements of the dish from one another.

Presentation bowls

Silk presentation bowls are ideal for dishes where not only the capacity of the bowl is important, but also its shape and the way the contents are displayed. They can be used to serve main courses, salads, starters, desserts and bowl-style dishes.

When choosing a specific model, pay attention to the diameter, depth, usable surface area and how the dish will look when placed on the table.

Platters for elongated compositions

Rectangular platters allow you to create arrangements that run the length of the dish. They are ideal for several small items, tasting sets, starters and dishes intended for sharing.

They can be used to serve:

• starters and snacks,
• tasting platters,
• sushi and Asian cuisine,
• fish and seafood,
• cheeses and accompaniments,
• desserts consisting of several components.

Dipping bowls and ramekins

Small dipping bowls and ramekins complete the collection and ensure a consistent presentation even when serving sauces, accompaniments and small portions.

They can be used to serve:

• dips and sauces,
• flavoured butter,
• olive oil and bread accompaniments,
• spices and small ingredients,
• mini desserts,
• tasting portions.

Selected items are stackable

Selected Fine Dine Silk tableware items are stackable. The ability to stack them 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 serving stations.

Not all products and 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 Silk tableware must not be used in microwave ovens. Dishes requiring reheating should be prepared in a suitable cooking vessel and then transferred to the tableware 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 Silk collection, hand washing or machine washing on a low-temperature cycle is recommended. A gentler cleaning method helps to protect the transition between the glazed and matt surfaces.

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,
• arrange the crockery securely and at appropriate intervals,
• avoid the edges of items knocking against other pieces of crockery,
• dry the crockery thoroughly before stacking it.

Heat resistance up to 150°C

Fine Dine Silk 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,
• you avoid rapidly cooling heated tableware,
• do not place hot stoneware on a wet or very cold surface,
• use suitable protection when handling hot cookware.

How can you match Silk to your table setting?

Natural shapes and the combination of different types of surfaces allow you to pair Silk with materials of a similar character. The collection goes well with:

• wooden tables and boards,
• linen napkins,
• stone and concrete,
• clear or coloured glass,
• black and steel cutlery,
• natural floral decorations,
• simple accessories that do not compete with the form of the tableware.

With a more elaborate table setting, it is best to exercise restraint in the number of decorations. The distinctive shape and varied surface of the stoneware itself constitute an important element of the arrangement.

How to put together a Fine Dine Silk tableware set?

The set can be based on shallow and deep plates, complemented by gourmet bowls and presentation bowls. For starters, tasting platters and sharing dishes, it is worth choosing rectangular platters, ramekins and 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 needed for plating,
• the colours of the most commonly used ingredients,
• the number of place settings required for a full service,
• whether selected models are stackable,
• the washing facilities available in the back of house,
• the fact that the tableware cannot be used in a microwave.

What should you look out for before buying?

When choosing Fine Dine Silk tableware, it is worth checking:

• the type and dimensions of the product,
