Product Description
The Terrace Truffle range from Steelite is a line of vitrified stoneware tableware designed to give the appearance of hand-worked stone without sacrificing the durability required in a professional setting. These 240mm coupe platters use a semi-matt glaze that pools into the surface embossment, creating natural tonal variation across each piece. The result is a consistent aesthetic that reads as artisan without being fragile or precious to handle.
In practice, coupe platters of this size work well for starter presentations, sharing plates, and composed desserts where the flat, rimless profile gives the kitchen team a clean canvas. The embossment is arranged to draw attention to the centre of the plate, which tends to frame food naturally and reduces the need for elaborate garnishing to fill space. Because the finish varies slightly between pieces, the range holds its character even as individual items age through repeated service cycles.
From an operational standpoint, the vitrified stoneware construction is relevant to kitchens that put tableware through heavy dishwasher use. Vitrified ware is significantly more resistant to chipping and crazing than standard earthenware, which helps maintain a consistent front-of-house presentation over time. The polished foot reduces the risk of scratching adjacent pieces during stacking and storage, which matters when you are handling twelve covers or more per service.
- Dishwasher, microwave, oven and freezer safe — suitable for most service workflows
- Polished foot reduces surface damage when stacking
- Semi-matt glaze pools into embossment, giving each piece natural tonal variation
- Coupe profile works well for composed starters, sharing plates and desserts
These platters are sold in packs of twelve, which aligns reasonably with a small to mid-sized cover count. For larger operations running multiple sittings, it is worth considering how many packs would be needed to maintain flow through a busy dishwasher cycle without running short on the pass.
If you are building out a full table setting or want to check compatibility with other pieces in the Terrace Truffle range, the team are happy to talk through what quantities and shapes tend to work for different service styles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- This depends on your cover count and how quickly you can turn tableware through the dishwasher. As a rough guide, most kitchens aim to hold enough covers to run two full sittings without relying on a mid-service wash cycle, so a site doing 30 covers per sitting would typically want at least five to six packs as a working stock. If you are unsure, it is worth factoring in breakage allowance from the outset.
- The semi-matt glaze is designed to produce controlled tonal variation rather than a uniform flat finish, which gives each piece a degree of individuality. This works well in informal fine dining, modern brasserie and sharing-plate environments where a natural, tactile aesthetic is part of the concept. For settings that require a very uniform, high-gloss presentation, a vitrified porcelain range may be a more appropriate choice.
- The platters are rated as freezer and oven safe, but as with most stoneware it is good practice to avoid extreme rapid temperature changes, such as moving a frozen piece directly into a very hot oven, which can stress any ceramic body over time. In normal plating workflows — where a plate moves from ambient storage to a heated pass or a moderate oven — they perform reliably.
