Steelite Off Grid Studio Fire Plates Ember 170mm (24 Pack)

Delivery Information
Price Match
The Off Grid Studio Fire collection is a collaboration with potter Sam Gordon, designed to bring the aesthetic of hand-thrown, wood-fired ceramics into a format that works in professional service environments. Each plate carries intentional reactive glaze effects — subtle colour variation, tonal shifts, and natural edge detail — so no two pieces are exactly alike. The Ember colourway sits within that palette: earthy, warm, and well suited to contemporary plating styles.
These are 170mm plates, practical for starter portions, small plates, desserts, or as part of a sharing concept. Supplied in packs of 24, they give operators a working service set from a single purchase. The porcelain body provides everyday resilience — resistant to chipping, staining, and the general wear of repeated service and warewashing. Being suitable for freezer, oven, microwave, and dishwasher use, they move through the full cycle from prep to pass to wash without issue.
For operators, the practical advantages include:
- Consistent reactive glaze finish that reads as handmade without the fragility of studio pottery
- Porcelain construction resists staining and surface wear over prolonged service use
- Compatible with freezer, oven, microwave, and commercial dishwasher
- Pack of 24 provides a workable service quantity in a single order
- Distinctive presentation well suited to small plates, sharing menus, and tasting formats
There are no specialist installation or storage requirements beyond standard tableware handling. As with any reactive glaze, minor variation between pieces is a feature of the design rather than a defect — worth bearing in mind when briefing front-of-house staff.
These plates are a sensible choice for restaurants, hotels, and casual dining venues looking to add visual character to their table settings without compromising on serviceability. If you are building out a full table setting or want to discuss quantities, our team are happy to help you work through the options.
Frequently asked questions
Are these plates suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?
Yes, the porcelain construction is rated for dishwasher use, which makes them practical for high-turnover service environments where crockery cycles through the wash multiple times per shift. The reactive glaze is designed to retain its character under repeated warewashing rather than fading or degrading with use.
Will the reactive glaze look consistent across the full pack of 24?
Not exactly, and that is intentional. The reactive process means each piece carries its own tonal variation and edge detail — no two are identical. For most operators this is the design appeal, but it is worth briefing front-of-house staff so they understand the variation is a feature rather than a quality issue.
What service format are these plates best suited to?
At 170mm, these work well for starters, amuse-bouche, desserts, or small plates within a sharing or tasting menu format. They are less suited as a main course plate for full portions, where a larger diameter would typically be more practical.
