Product Description
The Steelite Carnaby oval platter is a vitrified stoneware serving piece in a distinctive teal reactive glaze. Reactive glazing means each item carries subtle individual variation in tone and finish — consistent enough to work as a matched set, yet with enough character to add visual interest to the table. At 305x202mm, the oval format sits comfortably between a side plate and a full serving board, making it a practical choice for plated starters, sharing portions, or composed dessert presentations.
Vitrified stoneware is well suited to busy foodservice environments. It is denser and more chip-resistant than standard earthenware, and the material holds its weight and feel through repeated service cycles without the glaze dulling or the body weakening. At 666g per piece, these platters have a reassuring presence on the pass without being unwieldy for front-of-house staff to handle at pace.
- Reactive teal glaze gives each piece individual character while maintaining a coherent set aesthetic
- Vitrified stoneware construction resists chipping and crazing under regular commercial use
- Oval format suits plated starters, sharing plates, and structured dessert presentations
- Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround during and between service periods
- Supplied in a 12-pack, practical for stocking a full section or supplementing an existing range
These platters are dishwasher safe and are straightforward to integrate into existing rack systems. The teal colourway works well as a standalone table statement or layered with neutral crockery across the rest of the cover.
The Carnaby range suits operators looking to move away from plain white without committing to highly decorative or themed crockery. It fits well in bistros, wine bars, boutique hotels, and casual dining venues where a considered, contemporary aesthetic matters. If your service volume requires significantly larger sharing platters or a more robust rim profile, it is worth reviewing whether a different format within the Steelite range would be a better fit.
If you are unsure whether this size and format suits your menu style or cover count, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Carnaby range uses a reactive glazing process, which means each piece will have subtle variations in tone and finish — this is a deliberate characteristic of the range rather than a quality issue. The pieces read as a coherent matched set in service, but you will see gentle differences up close. If absolute uniformity is a priority for your table setting, this style may not be the right fit.
- Vitrified stoneware is fired at high temperatures to reduce porosity, making it denser and more resistant to chipping and crazing than standard earthenware. It performs reliably in commercial dishwashers and handles the knock and movement of a busy pass well. Porcelain can offer a finer, lighter finish, but stoneware is often preferred where durability and weight are valued over delicacy.
- At 305mm in length, this platter works well for structured starters, composed sharing portions, and dessert presentations. It can accommodate a main course depending on your plating style, but operators serving generous main plates or requiring a clear border for sauce work may find it a closer fit for starter and sharing use. If you need a larger format for main course plating, it is worth checking whether a bigger oval or round option would serve you better.
