Steelite Performance
Steelite Off Grid Studio Fire Timber Presentation Plates 280mm 12 Pack
£198.00(£237.60 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Fire range from Steelite's Off Grid Studio collection is designed by potter Sam Gordon, drawing on the visual character of traditional wood-fired ceramics. Each plate carries intentional reactive glazing — subtle colour variation, tonal shifts, and edge detail that give individual pieces a handcrafted quality while being produced to the consistent standards a commercial operation requires. The Timber colourway has an earthy, warm quality that works well with contemporary plating styles.
In service, these 280mm presentation plates are a practical size for main courses and sharing plates alike. The porcelain body is durable enough for high-turnover covers, and the semi-matte glaze resists staining without sacrificing the aesthetic. They move comfortably through a standard commercial dishwasher cycle and are suitable for freezer, oven, and microwave use, which reduces handling steps between prep and service.
- Reactive glaze finish gives each plate a distinctive, handcrafted appearance
- Durable porcelain construction suited to busy restaurant environments
- Dishwasher, oven, microwave, and freezer safe for flexible kitchen use
- 280mm diameter works well for mains, sharing dishes, and composed plating
- Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for building or topping up cover sets
There are no unusual storage or handling requirements beyond standard tableware care. As with any reactive-glaze piece, natural variation between plates is part of the design intention rather than a quality concern — worth noting when briefing front-of-house staff.
These plates suit restaurants, bistros, and hospitality venues looking to add visual texture to their table setting without moving away from reliable, operationally sound tableware. If you're building out a full cover set or need guidance on quantities for your service volume, the team is happy to help you work through it.
Frequently asked questions
Are the colour variations between plates a defect or an intentional feature?
The variation is entirely intentional. The Fire range is designed to replicate the unpredictable results of wood-fired kiln ceramics, so tonal shifts and edge detail will differ from plate to plate. This is part of the aesthetic and worth communicating to front-of-house staff so it isn't mistaken for a quality issue.
How does the semi-matte glaze hold up in a commercial dishwasher environment?
The porcelain body is rated for commercial dishwasher use, and the semi-matte glaze is formulated to resist staining under regular service conditions. As with any glazed tableware, avoiding overly harsh chemical detergents will help preserve the finish over time.
Is a pack of 12 sufficient for a typical restaurant service, or should I order more?
Twelve covers is a starting point rather than a full service allocation for most operations. A common approach is to hold one and a half to two times your seated cover count in circulation to allow for breakages and dishwasher turnaround. If you're unsure how many packs to order for your service volume, we're happy to advise.
