Steelite Bead Plates 285mm Vitrified China (Pack of 6)

The Steelite Bead plate is a flat dining plate in the Bead range, finished in white vitrified china and sold in packs of six. The Bead profile takes its name from the raised bead detail running around the rim — a simple, traditional design that reads well across formal dining, hotel restaurants, and brasserie-style covers alike.

Vitrified china is the standard material of choice for busy front-of-house tableware. The vitrification process produces a dense, non-porous body that resists chipping and crazing better than standard earthenware, and holds up reliably through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. The white glaze provides a clean, neutral background that works across a wide range of food presentations without competing with plating.

From an operational standpoint, the Bead range is practical to manage back of house. The classic round profile stacks predictably, making storage and retrieval straightforward during a busy service. The consistent sizing across the range also makes it easier to maintain cover counts and replace broken pieces over time.

• Neutral white finish suits a wide range of cuisines and presentation styles
• Vitrified china construction handles high-volume dishwasher use reliably
• Classic rim profile stacks cleanly for back-of-house efficiency
• Part of a broader Steelite Bead range, supporting consistent tableware programmes

The 285mm size is a practical main-course plate suited to most standard covers. For operations running lighter meals or side dishes, smaller plates within the Bead range may be worth considering. Higher-volume sites replacing tableware at scale may want to discuss case quantities before ordering.
