The Playground Shells range brings texture, colour, and individuality to contemporary dining environments, making it a popular choice for restaurants, hotels, and premium caterers.

Playground Shells takes its inspiration from nature, with flowing forms and a reactive glaze finish that mimics the intricate textures and tones of seashells. The result is a collection that feels handcrafted and artistic—ideal for chefs who want their dishes to stand out from the crowd. From seafood starters to delicate desserts, these plates and bowls provide a unique backdrop that elevates every course.

Each item in the Playground Shells range is made from high-quality vitrified stoneware, offering excellent durability, chip resistance, and suitability for busy hospitality settings. The pieces are dishwasher and microwave safe, ensuring practicality and ease of use in commercial kitchens. The reactive glaze process ensures no two items are exactly alike—delivering a bespoke look while maintaining consistency across your table setting.

The collection includes a carefully curated selection of bowls, and serving dishes in a variety of shapes and sizes. The glazed surfaces have a striking metallic bronze colour for dramatic presentation. This earthy, coastal theme makes the collection an ideal match for seafood restaurants, beachside venues, and modern casual dining.

Whether you're plating a pan-seared scallop, presenting a shellfish sharing platter, or showcasing a seasonal salad, the tactile finish and organic forms of Playground Shells help turn food into theatre. These plates do more than serve; they spark conversation and help define your brand’s identity at the table.
