Protégé™ Ceramic Poker Chips
The legacy returns in precision ceramic, proudly made in the USA.
The Protégé™ Poker Chip line is a revival of a Sidepot favorite. It has been reimagined in premium ceramic and continues the tradition of being manufactured in the USA. Originally created through a community design contest, it became a cult classic known for its vintage aesthetic and authentic feel. Today, it returns more vibrant, more durable, and rooted in the creativity that made it iconic.
Each chip features full-face and rolling edge graphics, printed on a satin-finished ceramic surface for exceptional detail and long-lasting performance. While the original Protégé™ line was known for its use of the Cigar & Snifter mold, that design remains exclusive to the clay edition. The new ceramic version has been reimagined with updated visual alignment and clarity, offering a modern aesthetic while honoring the legacy of the original.
With a complete 18-denomination lineup, the Protégé™ line offers unmatched flexibility for crafting customized sets for tournaments, cash games, or collector displays.
Built to casino specifications, the Protégé™ line is perfect for collectors, enthusiasts, and home game hosts who want professional-grade equipment with a rich backstory.

Customer Reviews
The color intensity of the dyes is lighter than I thought the website images presented. This apparent lighter color intensity gives the chips a slightly faded appearance, again compared to the sample images on the website. The edge color intensity/depth varies allowing the effect as if the underlying lighter ceramic base shows through, especially on the edge to top corners. The black of the $100 chips seems to be the most affected with the inability to cover the underlying lighter base ceramic. The lighter green color intensity of the $25 chips decreases the contrast of the darker green edge marker with the main body. The red $5 have the same edge color intensity/depth effect. Blue $1's look better. With the underlying lighter ceramic showing through on the edges and the edge to top corners the chips have a worn look. This might be common in ceramic vs clay chips but the edges of the archetype sample set you sent have a more consistent and intense appearance. I do really like the chip design and feel but was expecting a deeper color intensity and apparent opacity.

FAQs
What's the difference between ceramic and clay chips?
Ceramic poker chips are highly durable and less prone to chipping compared to traditional clay chips. They are crafted through an injection molding process that allows for detailed, full-face graphics and a smoother texture. This manufacturing technique not only enhances their aesthetic appeal but also prevents them from absorbing oils from players' hands, maintaining their quality and appearance over extended use. Ideal for frequent gameplay, ceramic chips offer both visual appeal and lasting durability.
How do I choose the right number of chips for my poker game?
The ideal number of chips depends on the number of players and the type of game. As a general rule, we recommend at least 50 chips per player for casual games and up to 100 chips per player for tournaments.
Is there a minimum order quantity for poker chips or custom designs?
For non-custom chips, the minimum order is 20 chips. For custom designs, the minimum order is 300 chips.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship internationally. Please be aware that international shipping rates can be very costly and are beyond our control.
What is your return policy?
