Steelite Performance
Steelite Off Grid Studio Fire Deep Coupe Plates Ember 160mm (Pack of 24)
£279.00(£334.80 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Fire collection from Steelite's Off Grid Studio range is designed by potter Sam Gordon to bring the character of hand-crafted, wood-fired ceramics into commercial table settings. Each piece is intentionally reactive, meaning no two plates are identical — subtle colour shifts, tonal highlights, and natural edge variations are part of the design, not inconsistencies to be avoided. The Ember colourway sits in warm, earthy tones that complement a wide range of food styles and table presentations.
In practical service terms, these 160mm deep coupe plates are sized well for starters, side dishes, small plates, and sharing portions. The deep coupe profile contains sauces and dressings without the formality of a traditional lipped plate, which suits casual dining and contemporary plating styles equally well. Despite their artisan appearance, the porcelain body is built to withstand the demands of a busy service operation — resisting chipping, staining, and the thermal stress of repeated dishwasher cycles. They are suitable for use in freezers, ovens, and microwaves, which simplifies both prep workflows and mise en place.
- Reactive glaze gives each plate a distinctive, individual finish
- Dishwasher, microwave, oven, and freezer safe — suited to full-cycle kitchen use
- Deep coupe profile works well for starters, sides, and small plate menus
- Durable porcelain construction helps resist everyday wear and chipping
- Supplied in a pack of 24, practical for initial cover builds or supplementing existing stock
The 160mm diameter is a considered size — useful for smaller courses but not a substitute for a main plate. Operators building a full cover set will want to assess whether additional sizes from the Fire range are needed alongside this plate.
The Fire collection is well suited to restaurants, bistros, hotel dining rooms, and wine bars where the tableware is expected to contribute to the overall aesthetic. It sits comfortably in settings that lean towards a natural, artisan, or farm-to-table identity, though the quality of the porcelain means it holds its own in more polished environments too.
If you are putting together a full table setting or want to discuss quantities for a specific cover count, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.
Frequently asked questions
Are the colour variations between plates a quality issue or intentional?
The tonal shifts, highlights, and edge details are intentional and central to the Off Grid Studio design concept. Inspired by wood-fired ceramics, the reactive glaze means each plate will look slightly different from the next. Operators should factor this in when presenting the tableware — it reads as handcrafted character rather than inconsistency, but it is worth briefing front-of-house staff so they can speak to it confidently if guests comment.
Is a 160mm plate the right size for a main course cover?
At 160mm, these plates are sized for starters, side dishes, sharing plates, or small plate menus — not as a primary main course plate. If you are building a full cover set around the Fire collection, you would typically use these alongside a larger main plate from the same range.
How well does this porcelain hold up in a high-turnover environment?
The porcelain body is manufactured to Steelite's commercial durability standards, which are designed for repeated dishwasher cycles, thermal stress, and the everyday knocks of a busy service. That said, no tableware is indestructible, and operators running very high covers should factor in a realistic breakage allowance when planning stock quantities.
