Collection: Tablekraft Core

Tablekraft Core — everyday white stoneware for high-volume foodservice

Core is Tablekraft's workhorse white crockery range — clean white vitrified stoneware designed for daily commercial service in cafés, restaurants, contract catering, and aged care. Where Soho and Urban Loft deliver design-led colour and finish, Core delivers reliable presentation in pure white that lets food take centre stage. The HC stock covers round plates, deep coupe plates, wide-rim pasta plates, walled-rim plates, footed bowls, rectangular dishes, and oval platters — every essential piece for a complete table set without the budget impact of premium ranges.

Range overview

• Round plates: walled-lip and coupe profiles in 200, 270 mm — the staple for entree and main service.
• Round deep coupe plates: 160, 200, 270 mm — for pasta, ramen, and saucy mains needing rim depth.
• Pasta plates wide-rim: 225, 270 mm with 48–60 mm rim for pasta and risotto presentation.
• Footed bowls: 150, 160, 200, 210 mm in stack-rim and walled profiles for soup, salad, and shared service.
• Rectangular dishes: 250 × 125 mm and 300 × 150 mm for sides and tasting-course pieces.
• Oval platters: 355 × 240 mm rim and 355 × 260 mm coupe for shared-main and roast presentation.

Material and use case

Core is vitrified stoneware — high-temperature fired for low porosity and high mechanical strength, rated dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe. The pure white finish is the most versatile choice for any cuisine and brand identity, working as a neutral canvas for colour and texture in the food rather than competing with it. Core also serves as the practical backbone in venues that mix premium ranges (Soho, Artistica, Urban Loft) with everyday white for high-volume service. Vitrified construction means Core is more durable than budget porcelain alternatives — chip resistance and rim integrity hold up across years of commercial wash cycles.

Working with our team

Hospitality Connect's catalogue depth in this category reflects 21+ years of supplying Australian commercial venues — single-supplier convenience across appliances, smallware, and consumables means fewer purchase orders, consolidated freight, and consistent specification advice from a team that's seen most operational scenarios before.

Specification matters more than buyers expect — undersized or oversized purchases waste both capital and operating cost. Our trade team spec'd thousands of fitouts across cafés, restaurants, hotels, function venues, and contract kitchens, and we'll match recommendations to your venue brief rather than push the catalogue.

Pair with

Use Core as the white-plate base layered with Tablekraft Artistica, Tablekraft Soho, or Tablekraft Urban Loft for design contrast. Coordinate with cutlery and Tablekraft Soho cutlery on the table; pair with display platters for service support.

Why buy Tablekraft Core from Hospitality Connect

• Pure white vitrified stoneware — the most versatile crockery choice across cuisines and brands.
• Box-of-3, 4, and 6 trade packs depending on piece size — replenish without minimum-order surprises.
• Vitrified construction outlasts budget porcelain alternatives across years of commercial dishwasher cycling.
• Sample pieces available on request before committing to a venue rollout.
• Stock held long-term so set top-ups across multi-year service don't drift between firings.
• Trade pricing scaled by volume; freight pooled with other Tablekraft picks for cost efficiency.

Core care and longevity

• Stack with felt or paper liners between large platters in storage — even vitrified glaze can scuff under heavy stack pressure.
• Pre-rinse before the dishwasher cycle — sugar and acidic dressings bake into the surface if left to dry on hot plates.
• Use rinse-aid in commercial dishwashers to prevent water spotting on the white finish.
• Inspect rims weekly — chipped rims are guest-injury risks and the piece should be retired immediately rather than continuing service.
• Avoid steel wool on the surface; even vitrified stoneware glaze scratches with abrasive contact.
• Audit Core inventory monthly across all sizes; high-volume venues lose pieces faster than expected and replacement budgets need to track that drift.
