Porcelain designed for professional kitchens

Cream-coloured, speckled porcelain with a brown rim

The Vanilla collection is characterised by a warm, cream shade, which offers a softer alternative to classic white porcelain. The irregular speckled pattern adds depth to the surface, whilst the brown rim emphasises the shape of the pieces and gives them a natural, handcrafted character.

The creamy colour scheme complements both light, subtle arrangements and dishes with intense colours. It provides a neutral backdrop for fresh herbs, vegetables, fruit, sauces, meat, fish, pasta and desserts.

Fine Dine Vanilla can be paired with, amongst other things:

• natural wood,
• linen napkins and tablecloths,
• transparent or delicately tinted glass,
• stainless steel, black, gold or copper cutlery,
• accessories in shades of beige, brown and green,
• other colours from the same porcelain range.

Hand-decorated – every piece is unique

Fine Dine Vanilla tableware is decorated and finished by hand. For this reason, no two pieces are exactly alike. Individual items may differ in:

• the shade of the cream colour,
• the intensity of the colouring,
• the arrangement and size of the speckles,
• the pattern of the brown rim,
• the saturation of the decoration on the surface.

These differences do not constitute a product defect. They are a natural result of hand-decoration and give each piece a less repetitive, more individual appearance.

Five colours that can be freely combined

Vanilla belongs to the Fine Dine range of hand-decorated porcelain, available in five complementary colour variants:

• Vanilla – cream,
• Dahlia – orange,
• Iris – blue,
• Arando – grey,
• Olive – olive.

The individual collections can be freely mixed and matched. The colours have been chosen to complement one another and allow for the creation of cohesive yet unexpected table settings.

The creamy Vanilla variant can serve as a neutral base for the table setting, whilst the orange, blue, grey and olive elements can be used as colour accents. You can combine different colours within a single table setting, choose a separate variant for individual courses, or pair plates, bowls and cups in contrasting shades.

How can you combine Vanilla with other colours?

• Vanilla and Dahlia – a warm combination of a cream background with an orange accent, suitable for vibrant and seasonal table settings,
• Vanilla and Iris – a contrast between a warm cream colour and a cool blue, creating a fresh and light table setting,
• Vanilla and Arando – a calm combination of cream and grey, suited to minimalist and natural interiors,
• Vanilla and Olive – a harmonious combination of cream porcelain and olive green, suitable for rustic and organic table settings,
• all five colours – a varied tableware set with a shared aesthetic, allowing individual dishes and menu items to stand out.

Cream-coloured porcelain for food presentation

The warm cream colour creates a versatile backdrop for many types of dishes. It is softer than cool white, yet remains neutral enough not to compete with the colours of the ingredients.

The speckled surface adds depth to the composition, whilst the brown rim visually frames the arrangement. As a result, the dish forms part of the presentation but does not distract from it.

Fine Dine Vanilla is ideal for serving:

• starters and tasting dishes,
• main courses,
• pasta, risotto and dishes with sauce,
• soups and creams,
• salads and bowl-style dishes,
• breakfasts and snacks,
• desserts,
• coffee, tea and other hot drinks.

An extensive collection for the entire menu

Fine Dine Vanilla comprises a wide selection of tableware designed for various stages of service. This allows you to create a complete table setting in a creamy colour scheme or use selected items as a neutral base combined with other variants from the collection.

The collection includes, amongst other items:

• shallow plates – for main courses, breakfasts, starters and desserts,
• plates with a raised rim – for modern presentations and professional plating,
• deep plates – for soups, one-pot meals and dishes with a generous amount of sauce,
• pasta plates – for pasta, risotto, cream soups and dishes with sauce,
• rectangular and serving plates – for snacks, desserts and dishes intended to be shared,
• organically shaped plates – for creative and less formal serving,
• bowls, soup bowls and salad bowls – for soups, salads, side dishes, desserts and bowl-style dishes,
• cups, mugs and saucers – for serving coffee, tea and other hot drinks,
• milk jugs, pitchers, bowls and platters – to complement a cohesive tableware set.

Fine Dine Vanilla plates

Available in various sizes and shapes, these plates allow you to tailor your tableware to the character of your menu. Classic shallow plates can form the basis of an everyday service, whilst plates with a raised rim, in rectangular or organic shapes, allow you to highlight selected dishes.

The cream-coloured background showcases both subtle, minimalist compositions and dishes with intense colours. The brown rim emphasises the shape of the plate and can act as a natural frame for the ingredients.

Bowls, soup bowls and salad bowls

Vanilla bowls, soup bowls and salad bowls can be used to serve soups, salads, side dishes, desserts and dishes inspired by cuisines from around the world. The various sizes allow you to choose a bowl for a single portion or a dish intended for sharing.

When choosing a dish, it is worth considering:

• capacity and portion size,
• depth and diameter of the dish,
• the type of dish being served,
• the amount of sauce or liquid ingredients,
• the space required for decoration,
• whether a particular model is stackable.

A cohesive coffee and tea service

The Vanilla collection also includes cups, mugs, saucers, milk jugs and teapots designed for serving hot drinks. This allows you to maintain a cohesive look for your table setting from breakfast and the main course through to dessert and coffee.

The warm cream colour looks good in hotel restaurants, cafés, bistros and venues that use natural materials and a calm colour scheme.

Fine Dine Vanilla for classic and natural interiors

This creamy, speckled porcelain suits classic, rustic, Scandinavian, Mediterranean and modern interiors. It blends well with wood, stone, linen, glass and metal accessories.

The collection is ideal for, amongst others:

• à la carte restaurants,
• hotels and hotel restaurants,
• bistros and cafés,
• establishments serving signature cuisine,
• restaurants with a natural or rustic décor,
• catering companies,
• banquet halls,
• and at parties and special events.

How to put together a Fine Dine Vanilla tableware set?

The basis of the tableware set can consist of shallow plates in several sizes, complemented by deep plates, bowls, soup bowls and pasta plates. For a more creative presentation, it is worth choosing rectangular and organic-shaped plates, as well as larger dishes for serving dishes communally.

When putting together your tableware set, it is worth considering:

• the types of dishes available on the menu,
• standard portion sizes,
• how dishes are presented and decorated,
• the number of place settings required for a full service,
• whether individual items can be stacked,
• the amount of storage space available in the back of house,
• items required for serving coffee and tea,
• the colours of other collections to be combined with Vanilla.

Washing and using Vanilla tableware

Fine Dine Vanilla tableware is dishwasher-safe, which makes it easy to use on a daily basis in professional catering. The tableware is also suitable for washing in industrial dishwashers.

To minimise the risk of damage, it is advisable to:

• place the tableware securely in the dishwasher racks,
• avoid the rims knocking against other items of tableware,
• do not overload stacks of tableware,
• stack only models designed for stacking on top of one another,
• check the condition of the rims regularly,
• use cleaning products intended for professional tableware.

Use in microwave ovens

Fine Dine Vanilla tableware can be used in microwave ovens. This allows you to reheat selected dishes without having to transfer them to another container.

During reheating, both the food and the porcelain itself may become very hot. The dish should be removed carefully, using suitable oven gloves or handles.
