Yellow stoneware in warm, sunny colours

The Fine Dine Topaz collection is characterised by its mottled colouring, featuring shades of yellow, gold and warm orange. The colour is neither completely flat nor uniform, giving the tableware a natural look that changes depending on the light.

The warm colour scheme can bring to the table:

• a sunny and energetic touch,
• a nod to the natural colours of the earth and spices,
• a contrast to cool, green and blue ingredients,
• a warmer setting for light-coloured and neutral dishes,
• a more relaxed, artisanal character to the table setting.

Topaz can be used as the dominant colour of the tableware or as a striking accent paired with more subdued pieces.

An uneven and partially rough surface

The surface of Fine Dine Topaz tableware is neither completely smooth nor uniform. The partially rough texture and varying colour saturation give the stoneware a natural, handcrafted look.

Areas with a higher glaze content may reflect light subtly, whilst sections with a more matt or rough texture provide a calmer backdrop for the food. The variation in the surface means the tableware is decorative even without additional embellishments.

This finish works well with:

• modern and asymmetrical plating,
• signature and gourmet cuisine,
• dishes inspired by nature,
• dishes based on seasonal ingredients,
• Asian and fusion cuisine,
• tasting menus,
• compositions utilising contrasts in colour and texture.

Hand-finished and glazed

Items in the Fine Dine Topaz collection are hand-finished and glazed. As a result, individual pieces may vary in shade, colour intensity, texture and the placement of decorative effects.

Differences may relate to, amongst other things:

• the saturation of the yellow and orange 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 rim of the piece.

Natural variations do not constitute a product defect. They are an intentional result of the finishing process and give each piece its unique character.

Japanese-inspired design

The design of the Fine Dine Topaz collection draws on Japanese aesthetics, which value natural forms, irregularity, simplicity and the visible traces of handcrafting. The varied surface and subtle differences between individual pieces are an integral part of the tableware’s appearance.

Topaz is ideal for serving:

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

Yellow stoneware can also be used beyond Asian cuisine – wherever a distinctive, natural-looking presentation of food is required.

A carefully selected stoneware composite

The Fine Dine Topaz tableware is made from a carefully selected stoneware composite. This material allows for distinctive shapes, uneven surfaces and deep colours that differ from traditional 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.

Topaz, Beryl and Lazur – three colours from the same range

Fine Dine Topaz is part of a stoneware tableware range available in three complementary colourways:

• Topaz – with a dominant yellow hue and warm, sunny tones,
• Beryl – with a dominant green hue,
• Lazur – with a dominant blue hue.

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

The different colours can be used to:

• distinguishing the different courses of a tasting menu,
• matching the tableware to the colour scheme of the dish,
• creating contrasting table settings,
• creating seasonal table settings,
• categorising tableware according to the type of dishes served,
• combining plates, bowls and platters in different colours.

How to combine Topaz with Beryl and Lazur?

• Topaz and Beryl – a natural combination of sunny yellow and green, suitable for seasonal and botanical arrangements,
• Topaz and Lazur – a striking contrast between warm yellow and cool blue,
• Beryl and Lazur – a more serene combination of green and blue inspired by water and vegetation,
• all three colours – a striking, varied table setting that retains a common character in its forms and surfaces.

Topaz can serve as the main colour of the tableware or as a sunny accent introduced amongst green and blue elements. The collections can also be assigned to different stages of the service.

A yellow background for a striking presentation of dishes

The warm hue of Fine Dine Topaz can harmonise with dishes in natural colours or create a contrast to cooler ingredients. The textured surface adds depth to the composition and offers an alternative to classic white tableware.

The collection showcases, amongst other things:

• green vegetables, lettuces and fresh herbs,
• fish and seafood,
• light and dark meats,
• dishes with purple or red ingredients,
• pasta, rice dishes and dishes with sauce,
• cheeses and small snacks,
• desserts with chocolate, fruit, cream or ice cream.

With dishes featuring yellow and orange colour schemes, the tableware can create a harmonious tonal combination. Green, blue, purple and dark ingredients will provide a stronger contrast.

Items from the Fine Dine Topaz collection

Topaz was developed as a broader collection encompassing tableware for various stages of a meal. Depending on current availability, the range may include, amongst other items:

• shallow plates – for starters, breakfasts, main courses and desserts,
• deep plates – for soups, cream soups, pasta and dishes with sauce,
• conical bowls – for salads, soups, bowl-style dishes and larger portions,
• ramen bowls – for Asian soups, noodles and broth-based dishes,
• platters – for starters, tasting platters and dishes intended for sharing,
• dip bowls – for sauces, accompaniments and small portions.

Current availability of the collection may be limited. Before planning a full service, please check the number of products available and the possibility of replenishing the tableware at a later date.

Fine Dine Topaz shallow plates

Shallow plates in various sizes can be used for starters, main courses, breakfasts and desserts. The warm, textured surface provides a decorative setting for the dish without the need for many additional elements.

When choosing the right plate, it is worth considering:

• the size of a standard portion,
• the diameter and usable surface area,
• the amount of free space needed for plating,
• the type and number of accompaniments,
• the amount of sauce,
• whether a particular model can be stacked.

Deep plates

Topaz deep plates can be used for soups, cream soups, pasta, rice dishes, desserts and dishes containing sauce or stock. The deep shape helps to keep liquid ingredients in the centre of the plate.

The yellow background effectively highlights the green of herbs, dark sauces, light-coloured creams and dishes featuring red, purple and white ingredients.

Conical bowls and ramen bowls

Larger bowls can be used to serve ramen, Asian soups, salads, pasta, rice dishes and bowl-style meals. The wide shape leaves room for accompaniments, fresh herbs and garnishes.

When choosing a bowl, it is worth considering:

• the capacity and depth of the bowl,
• the diameter of the rim,
• the amount of stock or sauce,
• the space required for accompaniments,
• the size of a standard portion,
• whether the chosen product is stackable.

Platters for starters and sharing

The Fine Dine Topaz platters allow you to create elongated arrangements and serve dishes intended for sharing. They can be used for starters, tasting menus, sushi, fish, meat, vegetables and desserts.

The irregular surface and warm colouring complement a less formal setting, where several pieces of tableware are placed in the centre of the table.

Dipping bowls and small side dishes

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

They can be used to serve:

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

Selected items are stackable

Selected Fine Dine Topaz products are stackable. The ability to stack the dishes on top of one another helps to make better use of shelf space 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,
• organising the serving station,
• transporting tableware between the kitchen and the dining room.

Not all items are designed to be stacked. Please check the specific product information sheet each time.

Do not use in a microwave oven

Fine Dine Topaz 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 workflows, particularly in establishments that use microwaves to reheat or regenerate individual portions.

Hand wash or machine wash on a low-temperature cycle

For the Fine Dine Topaz collection, hand washing or machine washing on a low-temperature cycle is recommended. 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 Topaz 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 cookware.
