Delivery Information
Price Match
The Fire range from Steelite's Off Grid Studio collection is designed by potter Sam Gordon to bring the character of hand-crafted, wood-fired ceramics into a professional tableware format. Each piece carries intentional reactive glazing, meaning no two plates are identical — subtle colour shifts, tonal highlights, and organic edge variation are part of the design rather than imperfections. The Ember colourway sits in warm, earthy tones that complement a broad range of plating styles.
In a busy service environment, the appeal of artisan-looking tableware often runs up against the practical demands of a commercial kitchen. The Fire plates address this directly. The porcelain body is built to resist the everyday wear of high-volume service — knocks, stacking, and repeated washing — while the semi-matte glaze holds its character without showing the premature dullness that affects lower-quality reactive finishes. Supplied in a pack of 12, they are sized at 280mm, making them a workable choice for main courses, sharing plates, or structured plating presentations.
From an operational standpoint, these plates are straightforward to integrate into existing service and cleaning routines. They are suitable for use in the freezer, oven, microwave, and dishwasher, which reduces handling complexity during prep and post-service cleaning.
- Compatible with freezer, oven, microwave, and dishwasher use
- Reactive glaze produces natural variation across each piece
- Porcelain body resists staining, chipping, and general wear
- 280mm diameter suits main course and contemporary plating formats
- Supplied in a pack of 12, suited to front-of-house par levels
These plates work well in casual-dining restaurants, gastropubs, and contemporary café environments where the visual texture of hand-crafted tableware contributes to the overall guest experience. For operations running very high covers or requiring larger pack quantities, it is worth discussing volume requirements with us before ordering.
If you are building out a tableware range or matching across a new menu concept, our team is happy to talk through what will work best for your service style and cover count.
Frequently asked questions
Are these plates suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?
Yes, the Fire plates are rated for commercial dishwasher use. The porcelain body and semi-matte reactive glaze are designed to withstand repeated commercial wash cycles without significant loss of finish or colour character.
How does the reactive glaze affect consistency across a matched table setting?
Reactive glazing is intentionally variable — each plate will carry its own tonal shifts and surface detail. Within a single pack the overall colourway remains consistent, but operators should expect visible variation between individual pieces. For most contemporary or casual-dining settings this is part of the aesthetic, though it is worth considering if your service style requires a very uniform table presentation.
Is a 280mm plate the right size for our menu format?
At 280mm diameter, these plates sit comfortably in the main course range and work well for structured plating, sharing presentations, and most modern restaurant formats. If your menu leans toward smaller portions, starter plates, or larger sharing formats, it is worth discussing the broader Off Grid Studio range with our team to confirm the best fit.
