Porland Dove – creamy white restaurant porcelain (28)
Porland Dove is a collection of catering porcelain in a perfectly balanced, creamy white shade. Elegant plates, bowls and glassware form a versatile base for presenting dishes, creating a simple yet striking effect on the table.
The traditional character, timeless design and durability of the porcelain make Dove well-suited to the needs of banquets, hotels and professional catering.

Cream-white porcelain for versatile serving
The most distinctive visual feature of Dove is its warm, creamy shade of white. The colour remains neutral and easy to pair with various dishes, but may appear softer than cool, snow-white porcelain.
The creamy white surface showcases:
- colourful vegetables and fresh herbs,
- fish and seafood,
- light and dark meats,
- pasta, risotto and dishes with sauce,
- breakfast dishes,
- desserts with fruit, chocolate or cream,
- minimalist compositions of signature cuisine.
The neutral colour scheme does not dictate a specific culinary style. It allows the same tableware to be used for seasonal menu changes and different presentation concepts.
A simple yet striking way of presenting dishes
Dove is designed for establishments seeking tableware with a minimalist design, yet wishing to retain an elegant table setting. The smooth surface and harmonious proportions leave room for the colours, textures and decorations on the plate.
The collection can be used for:
- classic dish arrangement in the centre of the plate,
- modern asymmetrical compositions,
- serving several tasting portions,
- presenting dishes with sauce or emulsion,
- creating a cohesive banquet table setting,
- combining restaurant and coffee service.
Porland Dove for banquets and events
The wide range of products and properties of Alumilite porcelain make Dove a suitable choice for banquet service. The collection allows for a uniform table setting and a consistent presentation of large numbers of portions.
The tableware can be used for:
- weddings and special occasions,
- hotel banquets,
- conferences and business meetings,
- formal dinners,
- gala events and corporate functions,
- coffee breaks,
- catering services.
When putting together tableware for events, it is worth taking into account not only the number of guests, but also the extra set required whilst the tableware is being washed and re-set.
Tableware for casual dining restaurants
Simple shapes and a creamy white colour are well suited to less formal restaurants that require aesthetic and versatile tableware for everyday service. Dove can be used in bistros, hotel restaurants, breakfast venues and modern family restaurants.
The collection is ideal for serving:
- breakfasts and brunches,
- starters,
- soups and salads,
- main courses,
- dishes designed for sharing,
- cakes and desserts,
- coffee, tea and hot drinks.
Porland Dove in fine dining restaurants
Dove’s timeless design is also well-suited to more elegant restaurants. The neutral finish does not compete with precise plating and allows guests to focus their attention on the ingredients and the preparation of the dish.
The porcelain can serve as a backdrop for:
- tasting starters,
- signature dishes,
- fish and seafood,
- dishes with decorative sauces,
- modern interpretations of classic dishes,
- desserts with complex textures,
- and the successive courses of a tasting menu.
Alumilite porcelain for professional catering
Porland Dove is made from Alumilite porcelain. The material has been developed with professional use in mind, combining a warm colour with the properties required for the demanding environment of the catering industry.
The production process involves firing at two temperatures:
- 1050°C,
- 1350°C.
The two-stage firing process results in a dense structure and a finish suitable for regular use in restaurants, hotels and banqueting.
Heat resistance up to 180°C
Dove porcelain is heat-resistant up to 180°C. It can be used to serve hot dishes and in applications appropriate to the specific item’s intended use.
During use, avoid sudden changes in temperature. Hot tableware should not be placed on wet or very cold surfaces, as a sudden temperature difference may increase the risk of damage.
Porland Dove plates
The full collection includes plates designed for various stages of the meal service. The Fine Dine range features, amongst others, selected models with a flat rim and deep plates.
Depending on their size, the plates can be used for:
- bread and small accompaniments,
- starters,
- breakfasts,
- main courses,
- soups and dishes with sauce,
- cakes and desserts.
The flat rim creates a neat frame around the dish and leaves extra space that can be used when garnishing the dish.
Dove bowls and deep dishes
The bowls complement the collection with shapes designed for dishes requiring greater depth. Depending on their size, they can be used for individual portions or for serving side dishes together.
They are ideal for serving:
- soups and creams,
- salads and raw vegetable salads,
- pasta and rice dishes,
- vegetables and side dishes,
- breakfast items,
- fruit and desserts,
- snacks served in the centre of the table.
Cups, mugs and saucers
An important part of the Dove range is its extensive range of drinkware. The manufacturer’s full collection includes various styles of cups and mugs, whilst Fine Dine offers a selection of stackable and elegant models, along with matching saucers.
These items can be used for:
- espresso,
- black coffee,
- cappuccino and milk-based coffees,
- tea and infusions,
- hot chocolate,
- drinks served at breakfasts and conferences.
Jugs, milk jugs and tableware
The collection is complemented by tableware enabling the preparation of a complete table setting. Items available or featured in Dove’s full range include, amongst others, jugs, milk jugs, sugar bowls and spice pots.
These accessories allow for a consistent design when serving:
- milk and cream for coffee,
- tea and hot drinks,
- sauces and dressings,
- sugar and sweeteners,

How to put together a Porland Dove tableware set?
