If you are looking to impress your dining guests, it would be hard to imagine a better dinnerware collection to do it with than Royal Crown Derby’s ART GLAZE. Royal Crown Derby’s ART GLAZE combines the hand-crafted, artisan aesthetic with the purity and whiteness of fine bone china. With the individual application of the reactive glaze, each piece obtains exceptional beauty through random and chance effects during kiln firing and glaze chemistry. The four colored glazes in smoke, sky, caramel and mulberry, have been developed to be stunning on their own, or in combination with one another. Delivering a refreshing, high-end presentation, this bone china provides the perfect presentation piece for any chef-driven menu.
In fact, the entire collection of Royal Crown Derby dinnerware is a range of delicate shapes in fine bone china, made in the heart of England. All of the company’s tableware has elegance fused with practical appeal, making it a great choice for fine dining operators of all types. From pure white bone china to artisan aesthetic reactive glazes, Royal Crown Derby delivers a refreshing high-end presentation and provides chefs with a beautiful canvas for their foodservice presentation. Both of the company’s artisan collections – ART GLAZE and its relaxed cousin collection, STUDIO GLAZE – offer the dining guest a tactile and sensuous experience that embodies the beauty of reactive glazes and sensational textures.

Steelite and Anfora Team Up to Bring New Handcrafted DENALI GRAY British fine bone china manufacturer, Royal Crown Derby, has extended its reach into the hospitality market with an exciting new partnership with iconic British tearoom and craft bakery, Bettys, (https://www.bettys.co.uk/) based in Yorkshire, England. The Derby, England-based company, which offers a personal bespoke service to high-end brand hotel and food service establishments, has supplied the world-renowned purveyor of afternoon tea with an exclusive tableware collection for its new reservation-only ‘Lady Betty Afternoon Tea’.
Christopher Oakes, Sales & Marketing Director of Royal Crown Derby commented: “With our shared British heritage, focus on artisanship and mission to deliver the experience of luxury and indulgence to our customers, there is a clear synergy between our two, established brands. Bettys is known and loved the world over and we are honoured to have been selected to provide the fine bone china collection for its exquisite ‘Lady Betty Afternoon Tea’. We worked closely with the team at Bettys throughout our bespoke programme, from design consultation and pattern development, to durability testing in our in-house laboratory. We are extremely proud of this new union between two established British heritage brands, whose foundations are rooted in skilled craftsmanship and look forward to developing this blossoming relationship.” The 3,300 piece order was produced at Royal Crown Derby's Osmaston Road factory in Derby, using techniques largely unchanged for centuries ensuring the very highest quality materials. Paula Kaye, Bettys Retail and Catering Operations Director, said: “When we were looking for a British manufacturer to produce a bespoke set of fine bone china for our new Lady Betty Afternoon Tea, one name stood out: Royal Crown Derby. Like Bettys, Royal Crown Derby have a long tradition of the finest craftsmanship and attention to detail in creating things of real beauty.” Kaye continued, “The stunning new design, commissioned especially for the Lady Bettys Afternoon Tea, was created by Bettys Creative Manager, Georgina O'Conner, and Royal Crown Derby Creative Director, Andrew Klimecki, inspired by archives from 1919, the year Bettys opened its first Cafe Tea Rooms.” So, if you are considering upgrading your afternoon tea service, Royal Crown Derby has a variety of creative solutions and the heritage of quality and design to help you achieve the proper tea experience for your guests.
