Revol Basalt Rectangular Porcelain Plates 300x160mm (Pack of 6)

The Revol Basalt plate is a rectangular presentation plate made from 100% culinary-grade porcelain paste, finished to closely replicate the appearance of natural slate. The dark tone, textured surface, and angular form are all there — but the underlying material is fully vitrified porcelain, which behaves very differently to genuine stone in a working kitchen environment.

Natural slate has well-documented service limitations: it chips under repeated handling, scratches with metal cutlery, and — critically — absorbs fats and bacteria over time unless regularly sealed. The Basalt plate carries none of those concerns. The porcelain construction is non-porous throughout, which means it remains food-safe and hygienic regardless of service volume, and it handles mechanical dishwashing without any deterioration of the surface finish.

In front-of-house use, the rectangular format gives chefs a more structured canvas than a conventional round plate. It suits sharing boards, structured starter portions, and modern plating styles where presentation is part of the offer. The dark basalt finish provides strong visual contrast against pale sauces, fresh garnishes, and lighter proteins — a practical advantage when the plate is doing work as part of the dish, not just holding it.

• Non-porous surface that will not absorb fats, odours, or bacteria
• Holds up to repeated mechanical dishwashing without finish degradation
• Resistant to chipping and scratching under normal service conditions
• No sealing or specialist treatment required
• Consistent aesthetic across the Revol Basalt range for cohesive table builds

Sold in packs of six, these plates are practical for trialling the Basalt aesthetic or topping up an existing set. Operators building a full cover count from scratch should think through quantities against expected service volume and dishwash cycle times before ordering — running short mid-service is easily avoided with a little planning at the outset.

If you are putting together a new tableware specification or want to talk through quantities for an opening, the team is happy to work through it with you.
