Collection Overview
The Tuxton Santorini Collection is a Porcelain White square and rectangular presentation collection — drawing inspiration from the smooth-edged corners of the homes on Santorini, it brings a dinnerware collection that will inspire any Chef. Create magical flavors and breathtaking presentations to lure guests into a new culinary paradise. Santorini is pure geometry: square plates, rectangular plates, square bowls, and a square ramekin — all in bright porcelain white. It is Tuxton's modern presentation collection for chefs who want structure, angles, and a contemporary aesthetic. Backed by Tuxton's lifetime edge chip limited warranty.
Target Segment
- Fine dining and tasting menu restaurants — the square plates and long rectangular plate are tailor-made for composed, architectural plating
- Contemporary casual and modern American — the geometric aesthetic works in design-forward dining environments
- Modern Asian and fusion — square plates have strong affinity with Asian plating traditions; GSP-553 (16"×5½") works naturally for sushi and dim sum presentations
- Hotel restaurants and resort dining — the premium visual impact of square/rectangular china elevates hotel restaurant programs
Sales Tactics & Tips
- Bring pieces to every fine dining presentation — Santorini sells visually. Let the chef hold the square plate and the 16" rectangular plate. The geometry speaks for itself.
- 16"×5½" rectangular plate — GSP-553 is the conversation-starter. Most operators have never seen a format like this in commercial china. It closes for sushi, tasting menus, and grazing boards.
- Square bowl range — show GSP-040 (8oz) for amuse-bouche or sauces, then GSP-531 (24oz) for pasta, then GSP-532 (38oz) for family-style sharing. The progression closes multiple use cases.
- Photography sell — square and rectangular china photographs dramatically. Use this with operators who prioritize social media, menu photography, and visual identity.
- Position as the chef's collection — Santorini is about giving chefs a platform for architectural plating. Position it in the context of the chef's vision and creative expression.
Unique Selling Points
- Only Tuxton collection built entirely on square/rectangular geometry — Santorini is a distinct design vocabulary; it signals modern, architectural plating
- 16"×5½" long rectangular plate — GSP-553 is a dramatic presentation plate for sushi, multi-component tasting courses, and charcuterie; very few china collections offer a format like this
- 15½"×8" rectangular platter — GSP-552 is a large-format sharing platter in a contemporary shape; strong for sharing apps, grazing boards, and family-style service
- Square bowl range — four sizes from 8oz to 38oz cover everything from amuse to large sharing; the 38oz GSP-532 is a premium pasta/sharing bowl
- Photography impact — square and rectangular shapes create strong visual lines; food photographs dramatically against the geometric background; strong for social media and menu photography
