The special use properties of this item

With a size of 20.5 cm in diameter, a plate fulfills the serving capability for many different dishes, for example, as a bread plate, breakfast plate, appetizer plate, cake plate, dessert plate, etc. The special feature of a plate with a high rim additionally increases the multifunctional application diversity. Basically, a much larger serving surface is available on plates with a high rim than on classic dessert plates with a rim. This nearly 21 cm wide porcelain plate offers a 19 cm serving and serving surface. In comparison: a conventional 21 cm flag plate - e.g. from the Harmonie series - only offers a serving surface of 14 cm. Thus, the space gain of proud 5 cm or 35% of such a plate with its almost 90 ° rising edge compared to classic cake plates is really enormous and corresponds, in terms of pure serving area - even a full-grown 27er main dining plate.

The dish plate thus provides sufficient space for medium to large appetizers, sandwiches, burgers and many other snacks, which are also served in the lunch business. This functional property provides the plate with high edge - technically correct, by the way, plate with high edge - a concise independence and the special character of modernity. In urban environments, space is becoming increasingly important and with a diameter of 20.5 cm, this plate can even still be used on small bistro tables up to 4 people. This fits the zeitgeist.

Also in terms of food variety, this serving plate surpasses the classic flat plate. Half plate half bowl it may well also be called bowl plate. Its depth is not enough for a soup, but gives especially sauce-heavy dishes a good stability. Whether a masterfully arranged fish appetizer or two large cookies, muffins or hot dogs, everything can be served perfectly in the bowl plate.

When choosing a food plate with a high edge, you should pay attention to the consumption comfort . Executed too high, such an "edge" can quickly become an obstacle when cutting and picking up the food. The guest should still be able to guide the knife at least at a 45° angle. This is particularly important in its function as a breakfast plate and cake plate, because otherwise it is hardly possible to pleasantly spread a piece of toast or a roll. We have paid attention to this comfort of enjoyment and dimensioned this bowl plate accordingly.

This just under 21 cm large food plate with a high edge is a trend article of the 2020s and especially popular with the younger connoisseurs. The presentation of food differs from serving on a classic flag plate and represents the modern zeitgeist through its color and shape like no other serving item. Although the trend of this food plate is more dedicated to the younger generation, this plate is even suitable for the elderly and for all connoisseurs who are limited by impaired vision or motor disorders. The raised rim easier to pick up the food and the edge protects against slipping. This benefits the small bowl plate especially with particles and cakes, because these delicacies are usually eaten only with a fork and the edge fulfills here the practical function of counterholding. The same is true, of course, for toddlers - but they probably like rather Pocahontas or Maya the Bee.

In handling before and after the meal, the bowl plate is somewhat more difficult to handle than a classic food plate. The bowl plate should not be stacked high. Unlike many other manufacturers, we at Holst Porcelain manufacture this plate with a high rim from genuine hard porcelain. This gives it the advantage of high stability and durability. With the design claim of the modern trend, this plate - with the exception of the stackability - includes all the advantages of a gastronomy-suitable, resilient serving plate.

The design and character of the porcelain series Granito
The Spanish name "Granito" comes from the magmatic granite, which like the porcelain, gets its enormous hardness from the fusion of feldspar and quartz. Holst Porcelain's 7th reactive glaze development on genuine Alumina hard porcelain is dedicated to this primary rock, which stands for natural stability and durability. Hardly any other earthen base material could represent the good qualities of porcelain better than granite. We have dedicated the color of Granito porcelain to the gray sedimentary granite that reflects the character of neoarchaic granite with its infinite brown reactive pigments on the cut-resistant matt glaze.The matte glaze has a noble appearance and only reveals its membership in the reactive porcelain family upon close inspection. The rims are finished with a hand-applied brown brush band, bridging the gap to Holst Porcelain's other reactive series.



Reactive porcelain nature-based colors, such as the bold gray of the Granito series, create a modern and trendy setting for the presentation of food, reinforcing the feeling of sustainability, nature and health. This is precisely where the culinary success of reactive glazes lies. The food presented appears quieter and more subtle than on bright white porcelain, and can each be combined into unique arrangements in a large composition of reactive colors. This is the perfect platform for combining visual perception with culinary enjoyment, thus stimulating two crucial senses. In this way, tables can be reinvented again and again, and the handcrafted porcelain emphasizes the individuality of the kitchen.

The outstanding feature of the reactive glazes from Holst Porzellan is their variety of combinations with each other. Thus, Granito, Coral, Musgo, Carbon, Arena, Moreno and Tierra can be combined to exciting and always new, homogeneous serving combinations as "Mix & Match porcelain". Above all, they are not only combinable with themselves, but also blend harmoniously with all white porcelain series as a deliberately arranged highlight.

Please allow us to point out that there are only a few porcelain manufacturers in the world who can produce reactive glazes on high-fired hard porcelain above 1,320 °C, like our articles of the "Reactive Trend Series". More than 90% of tableware of this type offered on the market is produced on stoneware, earthenware or similar ceramic tableware.

Product benefits and special features of Alumina porcelain

Alumina porcelain was designed as an improved form of hotel porcelain and contains only natural, mineral components. The addition of Al2O3, a mineral oxide extracted from a high-fired kaolin-mineral mixture, increases the needle mullite formation in the porcelain firing, enhancing the physical consistency of the body. Like classic feldspathic porcelain, Alumina porcelain is composed of a majority of kaolin, feldspar and quartz. The special enrichment and formulation of mineral additives increases the stability of our Alumina porcelain without the glaze losing hardness and resistance. German technology combined with our German quality management and constant laboratory monitoring of production ensure a consistent level of quality of this porcelain for commercial use.



Mechanical Resistance & Edge Impact Resistance
The combination of hard porcelain, aluminum oxide in combination with eight other enrichments of quartz crystalline minerals and the high firing temperature give the porcelain body an extremely high resistance and resistance to mechanical impact. The edge impact resistance of our Alumina porcelain is significantly higher than conventional hotel porcelain.

Under laboratory supervision and in application of DIN-EN-12980, we have determined a load increase of 155% on average. Accordingly, Holst's Alumina porcelain is 2.55 times more resistant to impact and mechanical load than conventional hard porcelain.


This stability and durability stands out especially at critical points such as plate rims, cup edges, mouth rims, snouts and handles. This results in a significantly reduced breakage rate. Thus, Alumina porcelain is characterized by a longer life and higher sustainability.

Thermal Resistance & Thermal Shock

Conventional hotel porcelain and restaurant tableware is not thermal shock resistant! Our Alumina porcelain, however, is resistant to thermal shock and this is one of the outstanding differences from other brands! +- 180 °C temperature differences can not harm the Alumina porcelain and this increases many times the use and functional properties in commercial use. This thermal resistance exists against both circulating heat and direct radiant heat. This means use without hesitation in all types of ovens and also a stress load under the salamander, as impressively shown in this video.

This special thermal resistance, which is completely superior to conventional catering porcelain & canteen dishes, gives Alumina porcelain very unique functional properties for use in the hotel industry, catering and communal catering. These are all industries in which the tasks of staff shortage, F. & B., use of goods, hygiene guidelines and the service offer lead to the majority of commercial kitchens to prepare food in the Cook & Chill process. Alumina porcelain is perfect for direct regeneration in all types of ovens, especially in pre-cooled storage, e.g. from -20 °C to + 120 °C. lumina porcelain is perfect for Cook and Chill and the regeneration of food from the refrigerator to the table! Also, in banquet business and patient care with conventional warming carts and food distribution systems, this thermal stability allows for a better result and ultimately hotter food for guest and patient. On a porcelain without interruption from refrigeration directly into the oven! Only Alumina and High Alumina porcelain from Holst can do this.

Glaze Hardness & Cut Resistance

The Alumina (Al2O3) added to our porcelain is of extreme purity and grade and is produced by only one manufacturer in the world. Due to the special enrichment and recipe of other mineral additives, the Alumina porcelain is fired at the same high to higher than the hard porcelain. This also makes the Alumina porcelain from Holst so unique! This allows us to increase the stability of our Alumina porcelain without losing glaze hardness and resistance. Like all other high-quality types of hotel porcelain or hard porcelain, our Alumina porcelain basically has a glaze hardness of 6 Mohs. Depending on the measuring point, number or arrangement of pinholes, the surface hardness of Alumina porcelain - as with all other types of porcelain - can drop by up to 1 Mohs.

All porcelain manufacturers who still describe their surface or glaze hardness with 8 Mohs are unfortunately not familiar with the change of the DIN standard EN 15771 since the year 2010! 8 Mohs at normal hard porcelain for kitchen, table and table does not exist.

The price-performance ratio

We of Holst Porcelain have always put a favorable price before a perfectly flawless appearance in our porcelain. This above all with the knowledge that the true quality characteristics of a commercial porcelain are not defined by a flawless external appearance, but by the high use properties such as stability, durability, multifunction and long-term use.
All forms of commercial catering must calculate cost-consciously! Catering trade, hotel trade and above all the health service, the care and system supply must act cost-consciously and lastingly. With it we mean by no means cheaply, but the budget of the catering accordingly. That is why we do not consider the odd pinprick, minimal dents or a small bump on the edge as a reason to increase the price of the goods by more precise grading, as some others do. Our porcelain is really good, but just not 100% perfect, just like us, like our food and our habits and nature. This article of our Alumina porcelain collection offers the intended use the optimal intersection of the highest usability at a really good price!

This product Porcelain Plate 20 cm "Granito" with high rim made from high quality hard porcelain has, of course, even more versatile uses and applications. Equally a good online offer at a reasonable price.
