£301.00(£361.20 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Off Grid Studio Fire collection is designed by potter Sam Gordon and produced by Steelite Performance. The range draws on the aesthetic of wood-fired ceramics — a process where the kiln demands constant attention and the results are inherently unpredictable — to create tableware that carries genuine visual character. Each piece is intentionally reactive, meaning no two items are identical. Subtle colour variation, tonal shifts, and uneven edge detail are part of the design rather than a quality concern.
In a service environment, that handcrafted appearance works well on plates where visual presentation matters. The Timber colourway sits in a warm, earthy palette that complements a range of plating styles, from rustic and casual to more considered fine-casual dining. At 170mm, this is a side plate or small starter plate size — useful as a bread plate, a small sharing dish, or a dessert plate depending on the cover style.
Practically, the porcelain body is built to Steelite's commercial durability standards, which means it is designed to withstand the stacking, handling, and repeated dishwasher cycles that characterise busy restaurant or hotel operations. The glaze resists staining and is suited to freezer, oven, and microwave use, which gives kitchen teams flexibility during prep and service without needing to transfer food between vessels.
- Supplied as a case of 24, reducing per-unit cost and providing adequate cover for a standard section
- Dishwasher safe and suitable for oven, microwave, and freezer use
- Reactive glaze finish — natural variation between pieces is inherent to the design
- Semi-matte glaze with a tactile, craft-influenced surface
This plate size is well suited to smaller covers, side servings, or as part of a wider Off Grid Studio table setting. If you are building a full cover from the range or need to confirm case quantities against your projected covers, the team is happy to talk through what makes sense for your operation.
Frequently asked questions
Are the colour variations between plates a defect or part of the design?
The variation is intentional. The Fire range is designed to replicate the unpredictable results of wood-fired kiln ceramics, so tonal shifts, highlights, and edge detail will differ between individual pieces. This is consistent with the Off Grid Studio design language and is not a quality issue.
Is a 24-piece case sufficient for a busy restaurant section?
For most sections running 20 to 40 covers, a single case provides adequate working stock alongside a reasonable breakage buffer. Higher-volume operations or those using this plate across multiple courses may benefit from holding two cases to maintain cover without shortfalls during peak service.
Can these plates go straight from a freezer or oven into a dishwasher?
The plates are rated for freezer, oven, and dishwasher use, but as with all ceramic tableware it is good practice to allow extreme temperature differentials to stabilise before washing, as rapid thermal shock over time can affect glaze integrity. Standard commercial kitchen handling should present no issues.
