Steelite Off Grid Studio Fire Deep Coupe Plates Smoke 280mm 12 Pack
£229.00(£274.80 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Fire collection from Steelite's Off Grid Studio range is the work of potter Sam Gordon, developed to bring the character of hand-thrown, wood-fired ceramics into a commercially viable tableware format. The Smoke colourway delivers an earthy, muted tone with the kind of organic surface variation — subtle colour shifts, reactive highlights, softened edges — that signals considered table presentation without relying on decoration or pattern. These are deep coupe plates at 280mm, suited to main course plating with good well depth for sauced dishes.
In service, the porcelain body performs reliably under the conditions a busy kitchen demands. The semi-matte glaze resists the staining that can quickly degrade the appearance of lighter tableware in high-turnover environments, and the construction is robust enough to handle repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without the glaze crazing or the rim chipping prematurely. Oven and microwave compatibility also means these plates can be used in warming or finishing applications, which is useful in kitchens where plated dishes move through more than one stage before reaching the pass.
- Reactive glaze finish gives each plate individual character without hand-finishing costs
- Semi-matte surface resists staining under repeated use and dishwashing
- Compatible with freezer, oven, microwave, and commercial dishwasher
- Deep coupe profile suits sauced mains, pasta, and composed plating styles
- Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for stocking a section or building a full table cover
These plates suit restaurants, boutique hotels, and independent dining operations where tableware is part of the overall aesthetic rather than purely functional. The 280mm format positions them as a main plate for most service styles, though operators running larger tasting portions or more generous mains may want to consider a larger format. The pack of 12 works well as a starting point for a single section; higher-volume sites may want to order in greater quantity to allow for attrition over time.
If you're building a full table cover around the Fire collection or want to discuss what quantities make sense for your covers and service style, the team is happy to help you work through it.
Frequently asked questions
How many plates do I need to order to cover a full restaurant section?
As a working guide, most operators plan for two to three times their seated cover count per plate size to allow for plates in use, plates in the wash cycle, and a buffer for breakages. A pack of 12 is a practical starting point for a small section, but higher-volume sites typically need multiple packs to run service comfortably without shortfalls during peak periods.
Will these plates hold up in a commercial dishwasher over time?
The Fire range is built on a durable porcelain body specifically intended for commercial use, and the semi-matte glaze is designed to withstand repeated dishwasher cycles without crazing or significant dulling. That said, rim chipping is the most common cause of attrition in any tableware used in busy kitchens, so handling practices and rack loading are worth reviewing alongside the quality of the plate itself.
Is the Smoke colourway consistent across packs, or will there be variation between orders?
The reactive glaze process that defines the Fire collection means individual pieces will always carry some natural variation in tone and surface character — that is intentional to the design. Across packs, the Smoke colourway will sit within a consistent range, but operators who need a very closely matched set should order their full quantity in a single purchase where possible.
