Delivery Information
Price Match
The Off Grid Studio Fire collection is designed by potter Sam Gordon and produced by Steelite Performance. The range takes its cues from wood-fired ceramics — a process where the kiln atmosphere directly shapes the character of each piece — and translates that aesthetic into a durable porcelain body built for commercial service. The result is a plate that reads as genuinely handcrafted without the fragility or inconsistency that hand-thrown pottery would bring to a busy kitchen environment.
Each plate in the Fire range is intentionally reactive, meaning the semi-matte glaze responds during firing to produce subtle colour variation, tonal shifts, and edge detail that differ slightly from piece to piece. This is a deliberate design characteristic rather than a quality control variable, and it gives the Timber colourway a natural, organic quality that works well on rustic, contemporary, and farm-to-table covers alike. In a service context, the variation reads as considered rather than mismatched.
From a practical standpoint, the porcelain construction is well suited to the demands of restaurant and café service. The plates are compatible with freezer, oven, microwave, and dishwasher use, which supports straightforward movement through prep, service, and the pot wash without special handling. The body is designed to resist everyday wear, staining, and the kind of minor knocks that accumulate in a busy pass.
- Reactive glaze gives each plate a distinct, natural character
- Porcelain body handles repeated dishwasher cycling reliably
- Timber colourway suits a wide range of cover styles and cuisines
- Supplied in a pack of 24, practical for standard section restocking
This plate is a good fit for independent restaurants, bistros, boutique hotels, and any operation where the tableware is expected to contribute to the overall dining experience rather than simply carry food. If you are building a full table setting from the Fire range or want to discuss cover counts and pack quantities before ordering, the team is happy to help you work through the numbers.
Frequently asked questions
Are the colour variations between plates consistent enough for restaurant table settings?
Yes — the reactive glaze is designed so that variation between pieces is intentional and controlled rather than random. Individual plates will differ in tone and highlight, but they share the same Timber colourway and finish, so they read cohesively when laid together on the same table. This is a design feature of the Off Grid Studio range rather than an inconsistency.
How does the porcelain hold up to heavy commercial dishwasher use?
Steelite's porcelain body is formulated for commercial service and is suitable for repeated dishwasher cycling. The semi-matte glaze is more susceptible to surface marking over time than a fully vitrified high-gloss finish, so operators running very high cycle volumes should be aware of this when assessing long-term appearance. For most restaurant and café environments, the durability is well suited to the service demand.
Is a pack of 24 the right quantity for a typical restaurant section?
For a section covering 20 to 30 covers, a single pack of 24 provides a working set with limited contingency for breakages. Most operators purchasing for full restaurant use will want to consider at least two packs to allow for normal attrition and ensure consistent cover availability during busy service. If you are unsure of the right quantity for your operation, we are happy to talk it through.
