Product Description
The Steelite Performance Flora coupe plates are a 252mm round plate finished in a distinctive pink colourway, produced in high alumina vitrified ceramic. Coupe plates — characterised by their wide, flat surface and minimal rim — are a practical choice for modern plating styles, offering chefs a clean canvas for composed dishes without the visual interruption of a raised edge.
High alumina vitrified construction is well regarded in commercial tableware for its durability under the conditions of a busy dining operation. The material handles the thermal cycling of daily dishwasher use without crazing or stress cracking, and resists chipping better than standard vitrified china — a meaningful consideration when plates are stacked, racked, and handled at volume across multiple covers each service.
From an operational standpoint, these plates offer several practical advantages for front-of-house teams:
- High alumina vitrified body resists chipping during everyday service handling
- Retains heat effectively from pass to table, supporting accurate dish temperatures
- Handles thermal shock without damage, suited to dishwasher cycles at commercial temperatures
- Pink colourway adds a defined visual identity to table settings without requiring additional decoration
- Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for building or replenishing a matching set
The distinctive pink finish makes these plates well suited to venues where table presentation forms part of the overall dining experience — boutique restaurants, afternoon tea settings, brunch concepts, or event catering where a consistent colour palette is important. They are less likely to be the right choice for high-turnover casual dining environments where tableware attrition is a primary concern, though the high alumina body does offer above-average durability for the category.
If you are specifying tableware across a larger cover count, or weighing this finish against other options in the Flora range, the team is happy to talk through what will work best for your service style and volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
- High alumina vitrified ceramic contains a higher proportion of alumina in its composition, which increases density and hardness relative to standard vitrified china. In practice, this translates to better resistance to chipping at the rim and foot — the points most vulnerable to damage during stacking, racking, and general service handling. For venues running multiple sittings daily, this can meaningfully reduce replacement frequency over time.
- The colour in Steelite Performance Flora plates is integral to the glaze rather than applied as a surface decoration, so it is not susceptible to fading through normal commercial dishwasher use. That said, if you are expanding an existing set or mixing batches purchased at different times, it is worth confirming with the team that production runs are consistent, as glaze colours can show subtle variation between manufacturing batches.
- A general working rule for plated restaurant service is three to four times your seated cover count, which allows for plates in use on tables, in the wash cycle, and in transit between the two. A 40-cover restaurant would typically require 120 to 160 plates of a given size to sustain continuous service without bottlenecks. This pack of 12 is well suited to supplementing an existing set or establishing a smaller operation; larger volume requirements may be worth discussing directly to ensure you have adequate stock from a single production batch.
