Product Description
The Steelite Bead range is a well-established tableware collection built around a classic beaded rim profile. In the Truffle colourway — a warm, muted grey-tone glaze — the range takes on a quieter, more contemporary character that sits comfortably alongside both traditional and modern table settings. These 165mm plates are proportioned for use as side plates, bread plates, or smaller dessert presentations.
Vitrified china is the standard choice for busy food service environments for good reason. It fires at high temperature to produce a dense, low-absorption body that resists chipping, staining, and the repeated thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers. In day-to-day service this translates to crockery that holds its appearance across a full season of heavy use rather than showing wear within the first few months.
Practically, this plate works well across a range of settings:
- Side plate or bread plate cover for table d'hôte and à la carte service
- Sharing boards and small accompaniment presentations
- Dessert plating at smaller portion sizes
- Café and bistro all-day covers where a versatile side plate is needed throughout service
At 283.5g per plate the Bead is a considered weight — substantial enough to feel quality in the hand without being cumbersome for front-of-house staff handling multiple covers. Sold in packs of 12, quantities suit both initial range trials and ongoing stock replenishment.
If you are building out a full table setting and want to confirm the Bead Truffle range extends across the plate sizes, bowls, and serving pieces you need, the team is happy to walk through the full collection with you before you place an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Bead range does extend across multiple plate sizes and tableware pieces beyond this 165mm side plate. If you are specifying a full cover, it is worth confirming availability across the sizes you need before committing to the range — the team can advise on what is currently in stock.
- Vitrified china is the standard material for commercial tableware precisely because it withstands repeated high-temperature dishwasher cycles without absorbing moisture or degrading the glaze. It will not perform like lighter earthenware, which tends to chip and stain more readily under the same conditions.
- Steelite maintains tight production standards, but as with any fired glaze there can be minor tonal variation between batches. If you are matching to an existing Bead Truffle table setting, it is worth ordering replacements from the same batch where possible, or contacting the team to check batch availability.
