Delivery Information
Price Match
The Fire collection from Steelite's Off Grid Studio is a range of porcelain tableware designed by potter Sam Gordon. Drawing on the aesthetic of wood-fired ceramics, each piece is produced with an intentionally reactive glaze that creates natural variation in colour, surface highlights, and edge detail. No two plates look identical, which is the point — the collection is intended to bring a handcrafted, artisan quality to plated service without sacrificing the durability expected in a commercial environment.
These deep coupe plates are supplied in a case of 24 and finished in a Smoke colourway — a muted, earthy tone that works well as a neutral backdrop for a broad range of cuisines. The semi-matte glaze and organic surface variation suit contemporary casual dining, independent restaurants, and any operation where the visual presentation of tableware is part of the overall guest experience.
From an operational standpoint, the porcelain construction is practical for busy service:
- Suitable for dishwasher use, supporting a fast turnaround between covers
- Oven and microwave safe, allowing flexibility in how plates are used during service
- Freezer safe for operations that pre-plate desserts or cold starters in advance
- Resistant to staining and everyday wear from repeated commercial use
- The deep coupe profile provides a defined well suited to sauced dishes and composed plating
As with any reactive-glaze ware, buyers should be aware that colour and surface variation between pieces is a deliberate characteristic of the range, not a quality inconsistency. This is worth considering when planning table settings where a uniform appearance is expected.
If you're building a tableware scheme and would like to talk through how Fire sits alongside other elements of your cover — or whether the depth and diameter suit your menu style — we're happy to help you work through that before you order.
Frequently asked questions
Is the colour variation between plates consistent enough for formal table settings?
The Fire range uses a reactive glaze process that intentionally produces variation in colour tone and surface detail between individual pieces — this is a defining characteristic of the collection rather than a production inconsistency. For formal or high-end settings where a very uniform appearance is required, it is worth viewing samples before committing to the range. For casual dining, contemporary restaurants, and operations where a handcrafted aesthetic is part of the concept, the variation tends to be a strength.
How does the deep coupe profile work in practice for plating?
The deep coupe shape provides a shallow but defined central well, which works well for dishes with a sauce component or where controlled, composed plating is important. It is a versatile profile commonly used across starter and main course applications. If your menu leans heavily on dry or stacked presentations, a flatter coupe or standard rim plate may give chefs more working surface.
Are these plates suitable for high-volume operations running multiple sittings?
The porcelain construction and full dishwasher compatibility make the Fire range practical for busy service, and the case quantity of 24 is a useful unit for building adequate par levels across covers. For very high-volume operations running back-to-back sittings with heavy daily cycles, it is worth ensuring your total stock allows sufficient plates in service while others are being washed and dried — we can help you think through the right quantities if needed.
