Dinnerware Materials Guide

Dinnerware Materials Guide


Every material is thoughtfully chosen by experts to guarantee product quality and safety. Whether you're selecting tableware for a restaurant, hotel, home, or special occasion, knowing the differences in material is key — each one serves a unique purpose for various dining experiences.

Bone China

Bone China

Bone china is a high-quality ceramic made primarily from 45% bone ash (typically cow bone ash), blended with kaolin, quartz, and other natural minerals. It is twice fired at 1,320°C to achieve a vitrified, semi-translucent finish with a jade-like purity. Its high hardness, low water absorption, and elegant translucency make it an ideal choice for luxury hotels, upscale restaurants, and refined home settings.

Exceptional Durability for Commercial Use

  • High Hardness & Wear Resistance
    Twice as hard as standard ceramics, highly impact-resistant, and difficult to chip — perfect for high-frequency use in demanding hospitality environments.
  • Heat-Resistant & Densely Vitrified
    Fired at 1,320°C for a dense structure with a smooth, scratch-resistant surface and extended product life.
Safe & Eco-Friendly
  • Zero Harmful Substances
    Lead- and cadmium-free. Certified by FDA, LFGB, CE, CQ, SASO, and other global standards — fully compliant with international food safety regulations.
  • Ultra-Low Water Absorption (0.2%)
    Far below the international standard (0.5%). Its dense glaze resists water penetration.

Color Glazed Porcelain

Color glazed porcelain has become an ideal material for modern dining spaces, thanks to its vibrant visual appeal and excellent functional performance. With advancements in production technology, it can now support inkjet printing combined with a protective coating, allowing for brighter colors and more intricate patterns.

Fired at a high glaze temperature of 1280°C, color glazed porcelain offers the following advantages:

  • High impact resistance and anti-cracking, making it suitable for high-frequency commercial use
  • Rich, vivid colors that enhance visual presentation
  • Smooth and delicate glaze surface for a comfortable hand feel
  • Low water absorption, ensuring hygiene and easy cleaning

Glazing techniques are adapted to the shape and size of each product:

  • Manual glazing: Ideal for irregular, large, or sculptural pieces
  • Automatic line glazing: Best for standardized shapes and mass production

Color glazed porcelain is widely used in hotels, restaurants, buffets, and theme dining venues. It not only elevates the presentation of dishes but also enhances the overall tabletop style, bringing a unique charm to the dining experience.

Royal White Porcelain

PITO Royal White Porcelain tableware also strikes a perfect balance between aesthetics, functionality, and long-lasting performance. Royal White Porcelain is a premium category within traditional Chinese whiteware. It is made using high-quality kaolin and mineral materials, precisely formulated and fired twice:

  • First Firing (Bisque Firing): 700–800°C
  • Second Firing (Glaze Firing): 1320°C

These firing stages eliminate organic materials and moisture, break down carbonates and sulfates prior to glazing, and greatly enhance the hardness, density, and thermal stability of the final porcelain.

Material Advantages

  • Smooth and refined surface: Offers a sleek, silky feel that is both elegant and easy to clean.
  • Low water absorption: The dense body structure ensures minimal porosity, making it more hygienic and stain-resistant.
  • Royal white finish: Also known as European White, this unique glaze finish is achieved through exclusive high-temperature techniques, giving the porcelain a timeless and sophisticated look.
  • High-strength body: Engineered to withstand frequent use in commercial settings, with reinforced durability.
  • Elegant pattern options: Available in a variety of classic and contemporary designs to match any dining aesthetic.
  • Bone china appearance at a competitive cost: Achieves a premium look similar to bone china, while remaining more cost-effective for large-scale hospitality use.
