Textured porcelain with a modern feel

The name ‘Line’ refers to the decorative lines and texture visible on the surface of the tableware. The texture breaks up the uniform appearance of the light-coloured porcelain, yet remains subtle enough not to compete with the food being served.

This finish can:

• emphasise the shape of the tableware,
• introduce rhythm to the table setting,
• create a delicate interplay of light and shadow,
• provide a backdrop for simple plating,
• add variety to a classic, light-coloured table setting,
• and complement both traditional and modern tableware.

A creamy white colour scheme

A warm shade of white gives the tableware a softer character than cool, snow-white porcelain. It is neutral, so it can be adapted to different kitchen styles, food colours and seasonal changes to the menu.

The Porland Line can provide the perfect setting for:

• colourful vegetables and fresh herbs,
• fish and seafood,
• meats and dark sauces,
• pasta, risotto and broth-based dishes,
• breakfast dishes,
• desserts featuring fruit, chocolate or cream,
• minimalist compositions of signature cuisine.

The Porland Line for spectacular feasts and banquets

The manufacturer presents the Line as a collection suitable for creating eye-catching feasts. The wide range of shapes allows for a consistent table setting throughout the entire event – from starters and main courses to dessert, coffee and table accessories.

The collection can be used for:

• weddings and special occasions,
• hotel banquets,
• formal dinners,
• conferences and business meetings,
• gala evenings and corporate events,
• coffee breaks,
• catering services.

Tableware for casual dining and fine dining

Line combines a decorative surface with a versatile colour, which is why it can be used in venues of varying degrees of formality. In a casual dining restaurant, it creates an aesthetic yet unpretentious table setting. In fine dining, its texture can serve as a subtle complement to more precise plating.

This tableware is ideal for serving:

• cold and hot starters,
• main courses,
• soups, pasta and dishes with sauce,
• fish and seafood,
• signature dishes,
• restaurant desserts,
• subsequent courses of a tasting menu.

The full range of the Porland Line collection

The manufacturer’s range includes several dozen items designed to complete tableware and drink service sets. The available categories include, amongst others:

• shallow and serving plates,
• deep plates,
• oval plates and platters,
• bowls for soups and side dishes,
• small dishes for butter, jam and dips,
• coffee and tea cups,
• jugs and teapots,
• milk jugs and sugar bowls,
• salt and pepper shakers and other table accessories.

Porland Line plates

The plates form the basis of the collection and allow the collection’s structural motif to be carried through to subsequent stages of the table setting. Depending on their size, they can be used for starters, main courses, bread or desserts.

When choosing a model, it is worth considering:

• portion size,
• the number of ingredients and accompaniments,
• the amount of space required for plating,
• the type and quantity of sauce,
• the part of the surface that is to remain exposed,
• the nature of the service – restaurant or banquet.

Bowls and deep plates

Deeper dishes allow for the serving of dishes containing stock, sauce or liquid accompaniments. The decorative texture maintains the collection’s consistent character, even in the case of tableware for soups, salads and bowl-style dishes.

They can be used for:

• soups and creams,
• pasta and risotto,
• salads,
• rice dishes,
• bowl-style dishes,
• vegetables and side dishes,
• fruit and desserts.

Oval and serving dishes

Oval plates and serving dishes allow you to create elongated presentations and serve dishes intended for sharing.

They are ideal for serving:

• fish and seafood,
• meat and vegetables,
• cheeses, cold meats and antipasti,
• bread,
• cold snacks,
• desserts consisting of several elements.

Cups and drinkware

The full collection also includes cups, jugs and other items needed to create a cohesive coffee and tea service.

They can be used for:

• serving espresso and black coffees,
• serving cappuccino and milky coffees,
• serving tea and infusions,
• hotel breakfasts,
• conference breaks,
• dessert service.

Accessories for a complete table setting

Small dishes for butter, jams and accompaniments, as well as milk jugs, sugar bowls and spice containers, help to maintain consistency even in the finer details of the table setting.

Complementary items can be used to serve:

• butter and olive oil,
• jams and preserves,
• sauces and dips,
• sugar and sweeteners,
• milk and cream,

Alumilite porcelain

The Porland Line is made from Alumilite porcelain designed for professional catering. The material combines an aesthetic finish with the properties required for intensive use in restaurants, hotels and catering companies.

The production process involves firing at two temperatures:

• 1050°C,
• 1350°C.

Heat resistance up to 180°C

Line porcelain is heat-resistant up to 180°C. It can be used to serve hot dishes and in applications appropriate to the specific product.

How to put together a Porland Line collection?

The set can be based on shallow plates in two or three sizes, complemented by deep plates and bowls. Oval serving dishes are ideal for dishes intended to be shared, whilst cups, jugs and milk jugs allow you to prepare a full drinks service.

When planning your tableware, it is worth considering:

• the types of dishes on the menu,
• standard portion sizes,
• the number of seats in the restaurant or banquet hall,
• the frequency of events,
• the demand for serving ware,
