Steelite Vesuvius Coupe Plates Burnt Emerald 153mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Vesuvius range is a collection of porcelain coupe plates finished in reactive glazes, each one producing naturally varied surface tones that differ subtly from piece to piece. The Burnt Emerald colourway sits within a trio of glazes — alongside Amber and Lapis — that are designed to work both individually and together across a table setting. At 153mm, these plates function as a side plate, a bread plate, or a considered amuse-bouche or pre-dessert course plate depending on how your menu is structured.

Porcelain is the standard material of choice in professional front-of-house tableware for good reason. It withstands the repeated thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers, handles stacking and daily operational use reliably, and maintains its appearance over a long service life when handled properly. The reactive glaze on the Vesuvius range is fired into the surface rather than applied as a coating, which means the finish holds up well under regular use without fading or flaking in the way some decorative finishes can.

In practical terms, the Burnt Emerald glaze provides a strong visual contrast against most food presentations and works particularly well with natural, earthy plating styles that are common across contemporary British and European menus. The coupe profile — flat with a shallow, clean rim — keeps the focus on the food and suits modern plating aesthetics without overpowering the dish.

These plates are supplied in packs of 12, which suits operators looking to introduce the range or supplement existing covers. For higher-volume operations or larger table programmes, multiple packs can be ordered to build sufficient cover counts with adequate backup for breakages.
