The Maham Studio Spice Cardamon plate is part of a vitrified stoneware collection designed by chef and food stylist Maham Anjum in collaboration with Steelite. The range takes visual cues from hand-thrown terracotta — an unglazed exterior finish paired with a reactive coloured glaze on the interior — giving each piece a natural, artisan quality while retaining the structural integrity expected of commercial tableware.
Vitrified stoneware is a practical choice for busy front-of-house environments. It is denser and less porous than standard earthenware, which helps resist chipping and crazing under the thermal cycling and repeated mechanical handling that comes with professional dishwasher use. The reactive glaze finish means no two pieces are entirely identical, which suits operators looking to add character to a table setting without resorting to heavily decorative or fragile pieces.
These plates work well across a range of service styles — from plated restaurant starters and mains through to small plates, sharing dishes, and bar food. The flat, shallow profile makes them straightforward to plate on and practical to stack and store in a busy pass or back-of-house shelving.
A few practical points worth considering: reactive glazes can show mineral deposits over time in hard water areas, so a quality rinse aid and appropriate dishwasher chemistry will help maintain the finish. As with any artisan-style glaze, slight tonal variation between pieces is normal and part of the design intent rather than a defect.
This range is well suited to independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and casual dining operators wanting to bring a more considered aesthetic to the tabletop without compromising on durability. If you are unsure whether the size or finish is the right fit for your service style, the team is happy to talk it through.
Frequently asked questions
Are these plates suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?
Yes. Vitrified stoneware is designed to withstand the thermal and mechanical demands of commercial dishwasher cycles. In hard water areas, using an appropriate rinse aid will help protect the reactive glaze finish over time and prevent mineral build-up dulling the surface.
How should I account for breakage when ordering for a restaurant cover count?
A common approach in professional settings is to hold a par stock of roughly 20–25% above your peak cover requirement to allow for breakage and pieces rotating through the wash cycle simultaneously. Ordering in multiples of 12 makes it straightforward to build up to the right quantity for your service.
Is the variation in glaze colour between pieces a quality issue?
No — tonal variation is an inherent and intentional characteristic of reactive glazes. Each piece will differ slightly, which is part of the design intent for this collection. If absolute uniformity across covers is important for your table setting, this style of glaze may be worth discussing with the team before committing to a full order.
