Delivery Information

Price Match

The Steelite Carnaby oval platter is part of the Maham Studio range — a collection of vitrified stoneware tableware designed for operators who want a more considered, craft-influenced look on the pass without sacrificing durability. Each platter measures 305x202mm, making it a practical size for starter plates, sharing dishes, or plated mains where a round plate would feel too conventional.

Vitrified stoneware is a sensible choice for commercial use. It fires at a higher temperature than standard earthenware, producing a denser body that is less prone to chipping along rims and edges during the handling that comes with a busy service. The dove colourway works well as a neutral backdrop, allowing the food to lead, and because each piece is finished with a reactive glaze, no two platters are identical — which suits operators going for an artisan or independent restaurant aesthetic rather than a uniform, branded look.

From a practical standpoint, the Carnaby range holds up well in standard commercial dishwasher cycles, which matters when covers are high and turnaround is quick. At 666g per piece, the platters have a reassuring weight in service without being unwieldy for front-of-house staff to carry.

  • Suitable for starters, sharing plates, and plated mains
  • Reactive glaze gives each piece an individual character
  • Vitrified construction reduces chipping risk under daily use
  • Dishwasher safe for fast post-service turnaround
  • Neutral dove finish works across a range of cuisine styles

This pack of twelve is well suited to smaller independent restaurants, bistros, and private dining operations. For larger sites running higher covers, it is worth considering whether a bigger pack quantity would better suit your stock rotation and breakage budget.

If you are building or refreshing a tableware range and would like guidance on quantities or how the Carnaby platters sit alongside other pieces in the Maham Studio collection, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Is vitrified stoneware a practical choice for a busy restaurant environment?

Vitrified stoneware is fired at higher temperatures than standard earthenware, which produces a denser, less porous body. In commercial use this generally means better chip resistance along edges and rims, and the material handles the thermal cycling of dishwasher use well. It is a commonly used material in independent and casual dining operations where a craft feel is wanted alongside reasonable durability.

How does the reactive glaze affect consistency across a set?

Reactive glazes respond to kiln conditions during firing, so each piece comes out with slight variations in tone and texture. For operators who want a completely uniform table setting this is worth bearing in mind, but for those running an independent restaurant or bistro concept, the variation is typically seen as a positive — it reinforces a handmade, considered aesthetic rather than a mass-produced look.

How many packs would a restaurant typically need to order for a full service?

This depends on your cover count, menu structure, and how frequently you are running dishwasher cycles during service. A rough starting point is to hold two to three times your peak cover count per shape to allow for items in use, in the wash, and in reserve. If you would like help working out quantities for your specific operation, our team can advise based on your service pattern.
