Pioli Crockery - Frequently Asked Quesetions

Why choose Pioli crockery?

Pioli combines eye-catching design with the durability needed for professional hospitality. Its distinctive reactive-glazed finish gives every piece a unique, artisan-inspired appearance, helping chefs create memorable table settings and showcase dishes beautifully. Made from durable Alumina Vitrified porcelain, Pioli is designed to withstand the demands of busy commercial environments while bringing a premium, contemporary feel to the table.

Does every piece of Pioli crockery look the same?

No — and that's part of what makes Pioli so unique. Each piece from the Oliva and Sakura ranges features a reactive glaze that creates natural variations in colour, tone and pattern during the firing process, meaning no two pieces are exactly alike. This gives every plate and bowl its own individual character, creating an authentic, artisan-inspired look that makes every table setting distinctive.

What's the difference between reactive glazed and digitally printed crockery?

Reactive glazing creates a unique finish by allowing the glaze to react during the firing process, meaning no two pieces look exactly the same. This creates a handcrafted, artisan-style appearance with natural variations in colour and pattern. Digitally printed crockery, on the other hand, uses advanced printing technology to apply a consistent design to each piece, making it ideal when a more uniform look is preferred. Pioli Oriental, Smoky, Sol and Reflect feature digitally printed designs.

What are the benefits of Alumina Vitrified porcelain?

Alumina Vitrified porcelain offers an excellent combination of strength, durability and professional performance. It is designed to withstand the demands of busy hospitality environments, with high resistance to chipping, cracking and thermal shock. Its non-porous surface also makes it hygienic and easy to clean, while maintaining a premium appearance through everyday use.

What types of hospitality venues is Pioli crockery suitable for?

Pioli is ideal for a wide variety of hospitality venues, including restaurants, hotels, pubs, bars, cafés, bistros and contract catering environments. The reactive-glazed Oliva and Sakura ranges are particularly suited to venues looking for a contemporary, rustic or artisan-inspired feel, with each piece offering its own unique character. For a more uniform finish, the digitally printed Oriental, Smoky, Sol and Reflect ranges offer striking patterns and finishes that work well across modern, contemporary and creative dining settings.

Do you offer an edge chip warranty?

Yes, all Pioli crockery comes with a 5 Year Edge Chip Warranty, giving you added peace of mind when investing in tableware for busy hospitality environments. Designed for professional use, Pioli combines distinctive designs with the durability needed for everyday service.
