Tablekraft Artistica Reactive Red

A reactive glaze changes colour and tone during firing, so each piece varies slightly in shade and pattern. That variation is intended rather than a fault, which means two plates from the same range will not look identical.

The Tablekraft Artistica Reactive Red range covers round and oval plates, dishes, deep bowls, ramekins and a platter. All pieces share the same reactive red finish so they can be combined across a single service.

Rack reactive-glaze pieces so faces do not grind against each other in the wash, as with any commercial crockery. Check the individual product listing for specific care guidance before putting a new range through a commercial dishwasher.

A bowl is deeper with steeper sides and holds liquid-heavy food such as soup, pasta and grain dishes. A dish is shallower and wider, suited to sides, tapas, sharing plates and anything served for the table rather than per person.

Coloured crockery gives a dining room a stronger visual identity than plain white and photographs distinctively for menus and social media. Many venues run coloured pieces for sides and shared dishes while keeping white for main plates.
