Product Description
The Steelite Bead range is a well-established vitrified china collection designed for professional table service. These 285mm plates carry the distinctive maroon band detailing that defines the Bead Bands series — a considered design choice that adds a clear visual structure to the place setting without overpowering the food presentation. The bead edge profile and colour band work together to frame dishes with a sense of proportion that suits both formal and contemporary dining environments.
Vitrified china is the practical standard for high-volume restaurant and hotel service. It fires at a higher temperature than standard ceramics, producing a denser, less porous body that resists chipping, crazing, and staining better over extended daily use. These plates are well suited to the demands of regular dishwasher cycles, stacking, and the general handling pressures of a busy pass or plate store.
- Maroon colour band provides consistent, branded presentation across covers
- Vitrified china construction handles repeated commercial dishwasher cycles reliably
- 285mm diameter gives a practical platform for main course plating
- Bead edge profile adds structural detail without affecting stackability
- Sold in packs of six, supporting phased purchasing or replacing breakages
As with all tableware, consider your existing collection before ordering. The maroon band is a specific design commitment — it works best when carried consistently across the table, so mixing with other band colours or plain white can look unintentional. The pack-of-six format is useful for building stock gradually or supplementing an existing Bead Maroon service.
These plates are best suited to restaurants, hotels, and private dining operations where a coordinated, branded table setting is part of the dining offer. If you are setting up a new tableware scheme or extending an existing Steelite Bead Maroon service, the team is happy to help you work out quantities and coordinate with other pieces in the range.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Vitrified china is the standard material for professional table service precisely because it withstands repeated high-temperature dishwasher cycles without significant crazing or colour degradation. The maroon band is fired into the glaze rather than applied as a surface decoration, which helps it hold up under regular commercial washing.
- The Bead Maroon range includes multiple piece types — side plates, bowls, and serving items — all carrying the same band specification. These 285mm plates are designed to sit consistently within that scheme. If you are coordinating across a full cover, it is worth confirming the pieces you need with the team to make sure everything aligns.
- That depends entirely on your cover count and table turn. For most operations, tableware stock is held at two to three times the maximum seated cover number to allow for dishwasher cycles and breakage. The pack-of-six format is practical for topping up existing stock or trialling the range before committing to larger quantities.
