Product Description
The Steelite Bead plate is a 230mm vitrified china side or starter plate, supplied in packs of twelve. The Bead range takes a classic approach to tableware design — a simple, defined rim profile that sits comfortably alongside both traditional and contemporary table settings without demanding attention. It is a practical choice for operators who want reliable, presentable crockery that works across a broad range of covers and service styles.
Vitrified china is the standard material for serious front-of-house tableware in commercial settings, and for good reason. It is significantly more resistant to chipping, crazing, and thermal shock than standard earthenware, which matters when plates are moving through a busy kitchen pass, commercial dishwashers, and stacking racks on a daily basis. The Bead range is well suited to high-turnover environments where crockery takes considerable handling across multiple sittings.
From an operational standpoint, the Bead plate offers several practical advantages:
- Vitrified china construction resists chipping and crazing under repeated commercial use
- Classic rim profile presents dishes cleanly across a wide range of cuisines
- Consistent sizing supports efficient plating and portion control
- Dishwasher safe and compatible with standard commercial warewashing cycles
- Supplied in a pack of twelve, suited to incremental stock building or topping up existing sets
At 230mm, this plate sits comfortably in the side plate or starter plate category and is a common choice for bread, salads, amuse-bouches, and plated starters. It is worth considering how this size fits within your existing tableware mix — particularly if you are building a coordinated Bead set across multiple plate sizes.
If you are equipping a new opening or refreshing an existing cover count and would like guidance on quantities or how the Bead range fits together, our team is happy to help you work through it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- At 230mm, this plate sits in the side plate or starter plate category and works well for bread, salads, and plated starters. The Bead range is available in multiple sizes, so it is worth reviewing your full cover requirements to ensure you have the right plate for each course across your menu.
- Yes. Vitrified china is the material of choice for busy commercial front-of-house operations, offering greater resistance to thermal shock and everyday handling than standard earthenware. The Bead range is well established in hotel and restaurant settings where crockery is cycled through multiple sittings and commercial warewashing on a daily basis.
- A common working rule is to hold two to three times your seated cover count in each plate size to allow for plates in service, in the wash, and in reserve. For example, a 40-cover restaurant would typically carry between 80 and 120 side plates. If you are unsure what quantities make sense for your operation, we can help you work through it.
