Maham Studio Spice Sea Salt Deep Plate 160mm 285ml by Steelite

The Maham Studio Spice collection is a line of vitrified stoneware tableware designed by chef and food writer Maham Anjum. This deep plate in the Sea Salt colourway measures 160mm across and holds 285ml, making it a practical choice for small plates, starters, bar snacks, and sharing portions. The range draws its aesthetic from hand-thrown terracotta — an unglazed exterior finish sits alongside a reactive coloured glaze on the interior, giving each piece a degree of natural variation that reads well on the table.

Vitrified stoneware is a well-regarded material for commercial tabletop use. It is denser and more resistant to chipping than standard ceramics, and the vitrification process reduces porosity, which matters for hygiene in busy foodservice environments. The reactive glaze on the interior is food-safe and designed to hold up through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without significant fading or crazing over time.

This plate works well across a range of dining formats:

• Small plates and tapas-style menus where presentation carries weight
• Bar and gastropub snack service where robustness matters
• Hotel dining and à la carte starters needing a defined aesthetic
• Sharing boards and multi-course tasting formats

As with any reactive-glaze piece, the natural variation between plates is part of the character of the range rather than a quality concern. Operators running large covers should consider this when ordering — buying in a single batch helps achieve visual consistency across a table set.

Sold in boxes of 12, the Sea Salt colourway suits neutral and earthy table schemes. If you are building a full cover or mixing pieces across the Maham Spice range, the team is happy to talk through quantities and colour combinations before you place an order.
