Product Description
The Steelite Asteria Nordic Coupe Plate is a 165mm rimless plate produced in alumina vitrified ceramic, finished in white with a deep black band around the outer edge. The coupe profile — flat, with no raised rim — gives the full surface over to the chef, leaving nothing to interrupt or crowd the plating area. The black band frames the presentation without competing with it, directing attention to the food itself.
In a restaurant environment, consistency of presentation matters as much as the food that sits on the plate. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a practical choice for front-of-house tableware: it holds its glaze well under repeated commercial dishwasher cycles and resists the minor impacts and handling that come with busy service. The Asteria Nordic range is built to remain visually consistent across a table setting over time, which matters when you are running the same covers night after night.
This plate works well for starters, desserts, and smaller composed dishes where the chef wants a clean canvas and a defined visual edge. The rimless format suits modern plating styles where food is placed centrally with space around it, and the 165mm diameter is appropriate for a single-portion first course or a sharing element rather than a main plate.
Plates are supplied in boxes of 12, which supports straightforward stock management and allows kitchens to build or replace covers in consistent quantities. If your operation requires a larger plate for main courses within the same Asteria Nordic aesthetic, the range extends to larger diameters.
If you are specifying tableware across a new opening or refreshing an existing cover, our team is happy to talk through the range and help you select the right sizes and quantities for your service style.

Frequently Asked Questions
- At 165mm, this plate is best suited to starters, desserts, or smaller composed dishes rather than a full main course. For main course covers within the Asteria Nordic range, a larger diameter would give chefs the plating area they typically need for a full portion.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-established material for commercial tableware precisely because it tolerates repeated high-temperature dishwasher cycles without significant glaze deterioration. It is not indestructible, but it performs reliably in professional service conditions when handled and racked correctly.
- The Asteria Nordic range is designed as a cohesive collection, so the white and black-band aesthetic can run consistently across multiple plate sizes and shapes within the range. It can also complement neutral or all-white tableware from other collections, though we would recommend reviewing samples together before committing to a full cover specification.
