Steelite Koto Iron Red Small Dish 70mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Koto small dish is a 70mm round ceramic dish finished in a deep Iron Red glaze, drawing on the aesthetics of traditional Japanese Tenmoku pottery. It is made from alumina vitrified ceramic, which is a denser, more durable grade of material than standard porcelain, giving it good resistance to the knocks and thermal stresses common in professional catering environments.

In service, these dishes are well suited to amuse-bouche, small sharing portions, condiments, and Asian-inspired small plates. The compact format works equally well on a tasting menu pass or as a table condiment vessel. The dark glaze hides minor staining between wash cycles and photographs well under restaurant lighting, which matters when presentation is part of the guest experience.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Alumina vitrified ceramic construction for improved chip and crack resistance under daily use
• Dishwasher safe, maintaining glaze integrity through repeated commercial wash cycles
• Oven and microwave safe, allowing pre-warmed service where required
• Lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite, reducing replacement cost over time
• Supplied in packs of 12, suited to bulk stocking for busy covers

These dishes are a practical choice for fine dining restaurants, contemporary casual venues, and hotel food and beverage operations where presentation detail matters. They are particularly well suited to menus with an Eastern or Japanese influence, though the format is versatile enough for broader use. If you are equipping a high-turnover site and need to assess quantity requirements or discuss the wider Koto collection, the team is happy to help you work that through.
