Steelite Robert Gordon

The Robert Gordon Forager mug is a vitrified stoneware piece finished with a reactive glaze that behaves differently on every individual item during firing. The result is a collection where no two mugs are exactly alike — each carries its own variation in tone and texture. The unglazed base leaves the raw stoneware exposed, reinforcing the handmade, organic character that defines the Forager range. At 355ml, it sits in a practical capacity for standard hot drinks service.

Vitrified stoneware is a sensible choice for busy front-of-house environments. It is denser and more chip-resistant than standard earthenware, and it holds heat reasonably well once warmed — a consideration worth bearing in mind for venues serving filter coffee or tea that sits on the pass for any length of time. The reactive glaze, while decorative in intent, also provides good coverage and is suited to commercial dishwasher cycles.

This mug works well in café, bistro, brunch, and casual dining settings where operators want a handcrafted aesthetic without the fragility or inconsistency that sometimes comes with genuinely hand-thrown pottery. The Forager range tends to suit environments where the tableware is part of the overall experience — where a rustic, natural presentation complements the food offer.

It is worth noting that because the reactive glaze produces variation by design, some colour and finish difference between pieces should be expected. For operations that require a highly uniform table presentation, this is something to consider before committing to the range. Stock is supplied by the case of 36, which suits initial cover builds and ongoing replenishment alike.

If you would like to discuss whether the Forager range fits your service style or table cover requirements, the team is happy to help.

The Forager saucer by Robert Gordon is part of a tableware collection built around the natural character of vitrified stoneware. Each piece carries a reactive glaze that flows differently across the surface during firing, meaning no two saucers are identical. The exposed, unglazed base reinforces that handmade quality and allows the raw material to speak for itself.

In practical service terms, vitrified stoneware offers a reasonable balance of weight, chip resistance, and thermal retention. The organic aesthetic suits contemporary café settings, farm-to-table restaurants, and any operation where the tableware is intended to complement a natural or artisan food concept rather than disappear into the background.

Supplied in boxes of 36, the Forager saucer works well where consistency of range matters — pairing with cups and other pieces from the same collection to give covers a cohesive look without appearing mass-produced.

• Reactive glaze finish gives each piece a distinct, individual appearance
• Vitrified stoneware construction for everyday commercial durability
• Unglazed base highlights the natural texture of the raw material
• Sold in case quantities suited to stocking a working section
• Well suited to concepts where organic, artisan presentation is part of the offer

It is worth noting that reactive glazes, by nature, produce colour and tonal variation across a batch. For operations that require very tight visual uniformity across covers, this collection may not be the right fit — that variation is a design feature, not a defect, but it is worth understanding before ordering.

If you would like to discuss how this range fits your wider table concept or whether the case quantity is right for your operation, the team is happy to help.

The Robert Gordon Forager cup is a vitrified stoneware piece from Steelite's Forager collection, designed to bring an artisan, handcrafted aesthetic to café and restaurant table service. Each cup carries a reactive glaze that flows differently across every individual piece, meaning no two cups are identical. The exposed, unglazed base reinforces the raw, organic character of the stoneware and is a deliberate design feature rather than a finishing oversight.

In a busy service environment, vitrified stoneware offers a practical balance between the warmth of a handmade appearance and the durability expected of commercial tableware. The material is denser and more chip-resistant than standard earthenware, which matters when pieces are handled repeatedly across multiple sittings throughout the day.

The Forager cup works well as part of a considered beverage or dessert presentation, particularly in settings where the overall look of the table is as important as the food and drink being served. The reactive glaze means colour and tone will vary across a set, which suits an informal, artisan-led aesthetic but is worth bearing in mind for operators who prefer a highly uniform table presentation.

Because the glaze variation is inherent to the production process, minor differences between pieces within the same box should be expected. This is characteristic of the range rather than a quality issue. The unglazed foot also means pieces should be checked for roughness that could mark certain table surfaces, and felt pads used where necessary.

The Forager cup is well suited to independent cafés, specialty coffee operations, and restaurants where tableware contributes to the overall guest experience. If you are outfitting a larger operation or need guidance on matching pieces within the broader Forager collection, the team is happy to help you work through what is needed.

The Robert Gordon Forager bowl is a small-format vitrified stoneware piece designed for contemporary food presentation. Each bowl carries a reactive glaze that flows freely across the surface during firing, meaning no two pieces are identical. The unglazed base exposes the raw stoneware body, giving the range a handcrafted, organic character that sits well alongside modern plating styles.

In a busy front-of-house environment, consistency of presentation matters as much as durability. Vitrified stoneware offers good resistance to chipping and crazing under regular service conditions, and the stackable form makes storage practical when covers are high and space behind the pass is limited. The 170ml capacity suits small portions — amuse-bouches, pre-desserts, snack courses, or condiment-style sides — without the bowl feeling oversized on the plate.

A few practical points worth noting:

• Reactive glaze produces natural variation — each piece is unique, which suits informal or artisan concepts well
• Unglazed base is typical of this style; check suitability with your surface care guidelines
• Sold in a box of 36, which supports a reasonable opening par for a medium-sized operation
• Vitrified stoneware is suitable for commercial dishwasher use in standard cycles

This range is well suited to independent restaurants, bistros, and café-style operations where a handmade aesthetic is part of the wider concept. It would also sit comfortably in hotel dining rooms and private dining settings. For operations running higher covers or looking for a more uniform finish, alternative ranges in the Steelite portfolio offer different glaze styles and production tolerances.

If you are building a tableware specification or want to discuss how the Forager range fits alongside your existing crockery, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

The Robert Gordon Forager bowl is a vitrified stoneware piece finished with a reactive glaze that flows differently across each individual item, meaning no two bowls are identical. The base is left unglazed, exposing the raw stoneware body and reinforcing the handmade, organic character the Forager collection is known for. Supplied in boxes of 24, it is a practical choice for operators looking to build or refresh a consistent table setting with natural aesthetic appeal.

In service, vitrified stoneware offers a reasonable balance of durability and presentation. It withstands the routine demands of a busy front-of-house operation — dishwasher cycling, stacking, and handling — better than earthenware alternatives, while retaining the tactile, artisan quality that works well in informal dining, café, and small plates environments. The stackable form helps with storage efficiency behind the pass or in a crockery store.

• Reactive glaze creates a naturally varied finish across the range
• Unglazed base exposes raw stoneware for an artisan appearance
• Vitrified stoneware construction suitable for commercial dishwasher use
• Stackable profile supports efficient back-of-house storage
• Sold in boxes of 24, suited to building or supplementing covers

As with all reactive-glaze stoneware, operators should be aware that colour and finish variation is inherent to the product rather than a defect. This is worth communicating to front-of-house staff to avoid unnecessary returns or queries. The collection suits operations where that organic inconsistency is part of the concept, rather than venues requiring a uniform, matched appearance across every piece.

The Forager bowl is well suited to casual dining restaurants, modern cafés, small plates concepts, and hospitality venues where an artisan table aesthetic supports the food offer. If you are specifying for a larger operation or need guidance on quantities per cover, the team are happy to help you work through what you need.

The Forager range from Robert Gordon, distributed through Steelite, is a collection of vitrified stoneware tableware finished with a reactive glaze that flows freely during firing. Because the glaze behaves differently on every piece, no two bowls are identical — each carries its own tonal variation and surface character. The base is left unglazed, exposing the raw stoneware body and reinforcing the handmade, organic quality the range is known for.

In practical terms, vitrified stoneware is a durable, dense material well suited to the rigours of daily restaurant service. It handles repeated trips through a commercial dishwasher reliably and resists the minor impacts and stacking knocks that come with a busy pass or pot wash area. The stackable profile keeps storage manageable in a compact kitchen or service station.

The Forager bowl works well across a range of service contexts — sharing plates, starter portions, desserts, and small sides all sit naturally in this format. The organic aesthetic suits venues that favour a less formal, more ingredient-led presentation style: independent restaurants, café-bars, boutique hotels, and farm-to-table concepts in particular.

• Reactive glaze produces a naturally unique finish on every piece
• Unglazed stoneware base adds tactile, handmade appeal to the table
• Stackable form supports practical storage in service environments
• Vitrified construction handles repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
• Sold in boxes of 12, suited to building consistent cover sets

If you are specifying tableware across a full cover count or want to discuss how the Forager range fits alongside other shapes in the collection, the team is happy to help you work through the quantities and mix before you order.

The Forager bowl from Robert Gordon is a small vitrified stoneware piece finished with a reactive glaze that flows freely during firing, producing a subtly different result on every individual item. The unglazed base exposes the natural stoneware body, giving the collection an honest, handcrafted character that reads well on a laid table without needing to shout for attention.

At 30ml capacity and 57mm across, these bowls are intended for small-portion applications — amuse-bouche, pre-dessert, sauce, condiment, or tasting-menu presentations where a considered piece of tableware adds to the overall experience without overshadowing the food. The compact format also makes them practical for sharing boards and pre-service mise en place where multiple pieces need to sit neatly together.

Vitrified stoneware is a practical choice for busy dining environments. The material is denser and more chip-resistant than standard earthenware, and it holds up well through regular commercial dishwasher cycles. Because each piece carries its own glaze variation, minor differences in finish are a design feature rather than a quality issue — worth making clear to front-of-house teams so expectations are set correctly before the range goes on the floor.

Sold in boxes of 48, the volume suits a mid-sized restaurant, hotel, or events operation running multiple covers. For venues requiring a larger quantity as a single order, it is worth discussing availability in advance.

If you are building a tableware selection around this collection or want to understand how the Forager range fits alongside other pieces you are considering, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Robert Gordon Forager Bowl is a small vitrified stoneware bowl finished with a reactive glaze that flows freely over each piece during firing. Because the glaze behaves differently on every individual item, no two bowls are identical — each carries its own tonal variation and surface character. The exposed, unglazed base reinforces the raw, handmade quality that defines the Forager range.

In a service environment, this kind of variation is intentional and works in the operator's favour. The organic aesthetic suits casual dining, modern bistro, and farm-to-table concepts where the tableware is expected to feel considered rather than uniform. At 83mm in diameter, this is a small bowl suited to amuse-bouche, condiments, side dishes, or petit desserts — not a general-purpose bowl for mains or pasta.

Being vitrified stoneware, the body is dense and relatively resistant to chipping compared with earthenware alternatives, which matters in a busy kitchen where pieces go through the glasswasher multiple times a day. The reactive glaze surface is practical to wipe down and holds up well under regular commercial use.

• Consistent vitrified stoneware body across the batch for reliable stacking and handling
• Reactive glaze creates an intentional variation in finish — useful for differentiated table presentation
• Unglazed base gives a grounded, artisan appearance that suits informal and contemporary dining concepts
• Supplied in a box of 48, which suits initial cover setups or top-up ordering

This bowl is best suited to operators running a defined casual or contemporary dining concept where tableware aesthetics form part of the guest experience. It is a small, specialist size — if your service calls for a larger general-purpose bowl, the Forager range includes other sizes worth considering alongside this one.

If you are building a full table setting around the Forager range or want to confirm this size works for a specific menu application, we are happy to talk it through.

The Robert Gordon Forager tray is a small-format vitrified stoneware piece designed for sharing plates, snack service, and side presentations. Each tray is finished with a reactive glaze that moves freely across the surface during firing, meaning no two pieces carry exactly the same pattern or colour variation. The exposed, unglazed base is a deliberate design choice that draws attention to the raw stoneware beneath, giving the collection a handmade, tactile character that sits well in casual dining, modern bistro, and farm-to-table settings.

Vitrified stoneware is a practical choice for front-of-house tableware. The vitrification process reduces porosity, which helps resist staining and makes the piece more robust in day-to-day service than standard earthenware. The reactive glaze, while decorative, is applied to food-safe standards appropriate for commercial use.

From an operational perspective, the Forager range suits venues where the look of the tableware is part of the dining experience. The organic variation between pieces is a feature rather than an inconsistency — though operators should be aware that matching pieces precisely is not possible by design. Supplied in boxes of 12, the quantity is practical for stocking a section or supplementing an existing set.

The unglazed foot does require care on certain table surfaces, and operators should check compatibility with their existing plate storage and rack systems. As with all reactive-glaze pieces, minor variations in colour tone across a box should be expected.

This tray is well suited to independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and casual dining operators looking to add tactile, artisan-style tableware to their service. If you are equipping a larger operation or need guidance on quantities for a full cover count, the team is happy to help you work through what you need before you order.

The Robert Gordon Forager Tray is a rectangular serving piece from Steelite's Forager collection, crafted from vitrified stoneware with a reactive glaze that flows freely over the surface during firing. Because the glaze behaves differently on every piece, no two trays are identical — each carries its own tonal variation and finish. The unglazed base exposes the raw stoneware beneath, reinforcing the handmade, organic character that the range is built around.

In a service environment, this kind of variation is a considered choice rather than an inconsistency. The Forager range suits operators who want tableware that feels artisan and tactile — the kind of presentation that complements sharing plates, charcuterie, bread service, or composed starters where the vessel is part of the dish rather than a neutral backdrop. Vitrified stoneware is a practical material for commercial use: denser and less porous than standard earthenware, which means it holds up better through repeated cycles of service and warewashing.

A few things worth bearing in mind when specifying this range: the reactive glaze means colour and surface variation between pieces is intentional and expected, so it may not suit operations where a uniform look is important. The unglazed foot also requires attention in warewashing to avoid surface marking on stacked pieces over time.

This tray is well suited to restaurants, wine bars, and casual dining concepts where a natural, earthy aesthetic is central to the table setting. It works particularly well alongside other pieces from the Forager collection to create a consistent look across a cover.

If you're building a full table setting around the Forager range or need guidance on quantities for your covers, we're happy to talk it through.

The Forager collection from Robert Gordon is a range of vitrified stoneware tableware finished with a reactive glaze that flows freely across each piece during firing. Because the glaze behaves differently on every item, no two plates are identical — each carries its own tonal variation and surface character. The exposed, unglazed foot ring allows the raw stoneware clay body to show through, reinforcing the handmade, organic aesthetic the range is known for.

In a commercial setting, vitrified stoneware offers a practical balance between the visual warmth of artisan ceramics and the robustness expected of professional tableware. The vitrification process densifies the clay body, reducing porosity and making the plates more resistant to the knocks and thermal demands of a working kitchen pass and commercial dishwasher cycle.

The 130mm diameter makes this a compact plate — appropriate as a side plate, bread plate, or for small plated courses in a tasting menu format. Supplied in a box of 48, the quantity suits initial par stock for a medium-sized restaurant or allows an established venue to refresh or expand an existing Forager set.

• Reactive glaze produces a unique finish on every individual piece
• Exposed stoneware foot adds textural contrast and artisan character
• Vitrified construction provides durability under regular commercial use
• Compact 130mm format suits side, bread, or small-course presentations
• Box quantity of 48 supports practical par stocking for service

If you are planning a full table setting around the Forager range or need guidance on quantities relative to your covers, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

The Robert Gordon Forager Bowl is a vitrified stoneware serving bowl finished with a reactive glaze that flows differently across each individual piece. The result is a collection where no two bowls look exactly alike — the glaze pooling and colour variation are intentional and inherent to the production process. The exposed, unglazed base reveals the raw stoneware beneath, reinforcing the handmade, organic character of the range. Bowls are supplied in cases of 12.

In a restaurant or café environment, the Forager range works particularly well where the tableware is intended to complement a natural, artisan, or farm-to-table aesthetic. The organic finish holds up well under the scrutiny of close-table dining, where presentation is as much a part of the experience as the food itself. Vitrified stoneware offers good durability for everyday service and handles the rigours of commercial dishwashing reasonably well, though the unglazed foot ring requires routine inspection for any signs of staining or absorption over time.

• Each bowl carries a unique glaze pattern — adds genuine visual interest to plating
• Vitrified stoneware construction supports regular commercial dishwasher use
• Unglazed base gives an authentic, handcrafted feel without compromising stability
• Consistent bowl profile across the case supports uniform plating and portioning
• The 286mm diameter suits a range of sharing, pasta, and main course presentations

This is a decorative-led range rather than a purely functional one, so it suits operators where the look and feel of the tabletop matters to the guest experience. It fits well in independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and wine bars. If your operation demands a more uniform, high-gloss finish across every cover, a standard vitrified porcelain range may be a more practical choice.

If you're building a full table setting around the Forager collection or want to discuss quantities and lead times, we're happy to talk it through before you order.

The Robert Gordon Forager Bowl is a vitrified stoneware piece finished with a reactive glaze that moves freely across the surface during firing. Because the glaze behaves differently on every piece, no two bowls are identical — each carries its own variation in tone and texture. The unglazed base exposes the raw stoneware body, reinforcing the handmade, organic character the Forager range is known for.

In a busy service environment, vitrified stoneware offers a reasonable balance between the tactile warmth of artisan-style ware and the durability expected in professional use. The Forager bowl is well suited to operations where the presentation of the tableware is part of the dining experience — sharing plates, starter portions, sides, or desserts served in a relaxed or casual setting.

The reactive glaze finish does require a degree of care in high-volume operations. Because each piece is unique, matching replacements will not be identical, which is worth considering for covers where a uniform look is essential. That said, for menus and service styles where natural variation adds to the aesthetic, this is rarely a practical concern.

• Sold in boxes of 12 — straightforward to order by cover count
• Vitrified stoneware body offers good chip resistance for everyday service
• Reactive glaze creates a distinct, artisan feel on the pass
• Unglazed foot ring suits rustic and natural presentation styles
• Works well for sharing dishes, sides, and informal plating formats

If you are building a full table setting around the Forager range or have questions about how the ware performs across different service styles, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to quantities.

The Robert Gordon Forager plate is a mid-sized oval plate produced in vitrified stoneware with a reactive glaze finish. Because the glaze is applied and allowed to flow freely during firing, no two pieces carry exactly the same surface pattern — each plate has a subtly individual appearance while remaining consistent enough in form and colour to work cohesively as a matched set. The exposed, unglazed base reinforces the raw, handmade character of the collection.

Vitrified stoneware is a practical choice for commercial service. It is denser and less porous than standard earthenware, which means it resists moisture absorption, chips less readily under daily handling, and holds up well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. The finish suits modern plating styles where the plate is intended to be part of the presentation rather than a neutral backdrop.

This piece works particularly well for composed starters, small sharing plates, or desserts where the organic surface adds to the overall aesthetic without competing with the food. The reactive glaze palette lends itself to earthy, natural, or foraged menu concepts — though its practical durability means it can work across a range of dining styles.

• Each piece carries a unique reactive glaze pattern while remaining set-consistent
• Vitrified stoneware construction supports regular commercial dishwasher use
• Unglazed base adds to the handmade, artisan presentation
• Well suited to modern, ingredient-led plating styles

Sold in boxes of 24, which suits initial table cover requirements for smaller restaurants or acts as a top-up quantity for larger operations. If you are specifying tableware across a full dining room or want guidance on mixing pieces within the Forager range, the team is happy to help you work through quantities and combinations.

The Robert Gordon Forager plate is a vitrified stoneware piece from Steelite's Forager collection, designed to bring a handmade, organic quality to table presentation. Each plate carries a reactive glaze that flows differently across every individual piece during firing, meaning no two plates are identical. The base is left unglazed, exposing the raw stoneware beneath and reinforcing the natural, earthy character of the range.

In a restaurant environment, this kind of variation is a deliberate design feature rather than an inconsistency. The organic aesthetic works well on dishes where the plating itself forms part of the dining experience — sharing plates, small plates concepts, or contemporary tasting menus where the tableware is expected to contribute to the overall feel of the dish. The irregular glaze pooling and exposed clay base complement natural, foraged, or seasonally led food presentations particularly well.

As a vitrified stoneware product from Steelite, the plate is built to a commercial standard, offering the robustness expected of front-of-house tableware in a busy service environment. Vitrified stoneware is resistant to chipping and crazing under normal commercial use and handles repeated dishwasher cycles reliably.

• Reactive glaze produces a genuinely unique finish on every piece
• Unglazed base highlights the raw material quality of the stoneware
• Sold in boxes of 12, suitable for building consistent covers
• Well suited to contemporary, natural, or foraged food concepts
• Commercial vitrified construction for everyday service durability

If you are building a full table setting around the Forager collection or need guidance on cover quantities and complementary pieces, the team is happy to help you plan it through.

The Forager collection from Robert Gordon is a range of vitrified stoneware tableware finished with a reactive glaze that moves freely across each piece during firing. Because the glaze behaves differently on every item, no two plates are identical — each carries its own tonal variation and character. The exposed, unglazed base reinforces that handmade quality, showing the raw stoneware beneath and giving the collection a grounded, earthy feel that sits well in contemporary casual dining and modern fine dining environments alike.

At 295mm, this is a generous plate suited to composed main courses where chefs want space to present without crowding the dish. The vitrified stoneware construction gives it durability that holds up in busy restaurant settings — it resists chipping better than standard earthenware and handles the thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers reliably over time. The organic aesthetic pairs well with natural and foraged ingredients, seasonal menus, and earthy or rustic plating styles, though it is equally effective as a counterpoint to more refined presentations.

Key practical points for front-of-house and kitchen teams:

• Reactive glaze produces natural variation — each plate is visually unique
• Unglazed stoneware base adds textural contrast and handmade character
• Vitrified construction offers good chip resistance for day-to-day service
• Suitable for commercial dishwasher use
• Sold in boxes of 12, keeping stock replenishment straightforward

Because glaze variation is intentional and inherent to the Forager range, operators should expect — and in most cases welcome — differences between individual pieces. For venues needing a more uniform look, a standard glazed stoneware range may be a better fit. Likewise, for very high-turnover operations where breakage rates are a primary concern, it is worth considering whether a higher-durability porcelain alternative would better suit the pace of service.

If you are building a cover scheme around the Forager collection or want to discuss how it sits alongside other tableware in your current range, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm deep tray is a small-format serving piece designed for front-of-house food presentation. At 130mm in diameter with a 303ml capacity, it works well for sharing portions, side dishes, amuse-bouche, or small dessert presentations. Importantly, this piece is produced in polycarbonate rather than the porcelain associated with the broader Potters Collection — worth noting when specifying for service environments where breakage is a practical concern.

Polycarbonate construction makes this tray well suited to high-turnover hospitality settings where durability and resistance to chipping matter. It retains the tactile, artisan aesthetic of the Potters Collection range while offering greater resilience during busy service and in transport between kitchen and pass.

• Consistent 303ml capacity supports reliable portioning across covers
• Polycarbonate build reduces breakage risk in busy service environments
• Naturalistic Storm finish complements informal and contemporary plating styles
• Sold in cases of 12, practical for building or replenishing a matching set
• Suited to sharing menus, small plates, and modern casual dining formats

If you are building out a full tabletop scheme or mixing pieces across the Potters Collection, it is worth confirming compatibility with other items in your current set. The team is happy to help you work through quantities and combinations before you order.

The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm Stack Dish is a small-format serving piece designed for amuse-bouche, pre-dessert, or tasting menu courses. At 64mm in diameter with a 52ml capacity, it is a compact dish suited to single-bite presentations where portioning consistency and table impact both matter. The naturalistic, hand-crafted aesthetic of the Potters Collection means each piece carries subtle variation in surface character, giving a considered, artisanal feel to plated service.

In practical front-of-house use, these dishes work well across fine dining, contemporary bistro, and chef's table formats where small-plate presentation is part of the service style. The stack-friendly form keeps storage straightforward and reduces the footprint required on service stations or in crockery storage. Supplied in a box of 36, the quantity suits a mid-sized restaurant running tasting menus or a larger operation topping up existing stock.

A few practical points worth noting before ordering:

• Subtle variation between pieces is intentional — part of the Potters Collection aesthetic, not a quality issue
• Stack-friendly profile aids efficient storage and service prep
• Box quantity of 36 works well for tasting menu covers or as a back-stock quantity
• Small diameter suits single-bite or amuse-bouche portions specifically

If you are building out a full tasting menu service and need guidance on matching pieces across the Potters Collection range, or if you are unsure whether the 52ml capacity suits your portion sizes, we are happy to talk it through before you place an order.

The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Pier deep tray is part of Steelite's naturalistic tableware range, inspired by Australian studio pottery. Each piece is designed to replicate the look of hand-crafted ceramics — with variation in surface texture and colour intensity built into the aesthetic — while being manufactured from polycarbonate for practical front-of-house use.

The 303ml capacity makes this tray well suited to small sharing portions, condiment presentations, amuse-bouche service, or accompaniments on a composed plate. The 130mm diameter keeps it compact enough for tray arrangements or multi-element plating without crowding the service space.

Being polycarbonate rather than porcelain, the tray offers practical advantages in certain service environments:

• Resistant to chipping and breakage in high-throughput service settings
• Lighter than ceramic equivalents, reducing handling fatigue during busy service
• Suitable for poolside, outdoor dining, or licensed venues with restrictions on glassware and ceramics
• Easy to clean and stack, supporting efficient turnaround between covers
• Sold in a box of 12, aligning with standard stock quantities for smaller operations

It is worth noting that the polycarbonate construction, while durable, is not intended for oven use or high-temperature environments. This is a presentational piece designed for ambient or cold service rather than direct heat exposure. Operators looking for the full aesthetic of the Potters Collection in a ceramic body should consider the porcelain items within the same range.

This tray is a practical choice for casual dining operations, bistros, or any venue looking to add an artisan, hand-crafted feel to their table presentation without the fragility of stoneware. If you are building a full cover or coordinating across a range, our team is happy to help you select complementary pieces from the Potters Collection.

The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Pier Stack Dish is a small-format serving piece designed for contemporary plating and sharing-style service. Each dish holds 52ml and measures 64mm in diameter, making it well suited to amuse-bouche, pre-dessert, condiment, or tasting menu presentations where portion control and consistent visual presentation matter.

Despite its Australian design heritage and hand-crafted aesthetic, this piece is made from polycarbonate rather than porcelain, which is an important practical distinction. The polycarbonate construction makes it considerably more resistant to breakage than ceramic alternatives, which is a meaningful consideration in high-turnover or outdoor service environments where fragile tableware carries a real replacement cost.

From an operational standpoint, the stackable form keeps storage compact during service, and the consistent sizing across the range supports uniform plating across large covers. Sold in boxes of 36, the pack quantity suits operators who need sufficient volume for a full service without excessive overstock.

• Compact footprint suits tight pass and mise en place stations
• Polycarbonate construction reduces breakage risk versus ceramic
• Stackable design keeps back-of-house storage tidy
• Consistent sizing supports uniform plating across large covers
• Box of 36 provides practical service-ready volume

This dish is best suited to restaurants, hotel dining operations, or event caterers running sharing menus, tasting courses, or canapé service. For operators needing larger serving pieces within the same Potters Collection aesthetic, alternative sizes are available within the range.

If you are building a full table setting around the Potters Collection or need guidance on quantities for your cover count, we are happy to assist before you place an order.

The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm rectangular trays are handcrafted porcelain serveware pieces, designed by the respected Australian pottery brand Robert Gordon. Each tray is individually made, which means subtle natural variation in colour tone and surface finish from piece to piece — an intentional characteristic of the range rather than a quality inconsistency. The Storm colourway sits within a muted, earthy palette that lends itself well to contemporary and rustic dining settings alike.

Despite their artisan appearance, these trays are produced in porcelain and are intended for genuine commercial use. They hold up well to the handling demands of a busy service environment and are suitable for use in professional front-of-house settings where presentation is a priority. The organic, handmade aesthetic works particularly well for sharing plates, small starter courses, or individual dessert presentations where the tableware is as much a part of the experience as the food itself.

Practical considerations for operators include the following:

• Pack of 6 trays, which suits replacement stock purchasing as well as initial setup
• Porcelain construction — durable under normal commercial handling
• Each piece varies slightly in tone, which contributes to a curated, artisan table setting
• Well suited to restaurants, bistros, and cafés with an informal or rustic service style
• Compatible with contemporary plating styles including sharing-board formats

As with all handcrafted tableware, the natural variation between pieces means the collection suits operators who are comfortable with an organic rather than perfectly uniform table presentation. It is worth considering this before ordering for large covers where strict visual consistency is expected across every table simultaneously.

This range is best suited to independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and café operators looking to add character to their table setting without sacrificing commercial durability. If you are unsure whether the Storm colourway or tray size works for your specific service style, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm rectangular trays are handcrafted porcelain servingware from one of Australia's most established artisan pottery designers. Each tray carries a distinctive storm-toned glaze with subtle variation in colour and finish between pieces — a deliberate characteristic of the handmade process rather than a quality inconsistency. Sold as a pack of six, the trays work well as a coordinated service set while retaining that individually crafted quality that distinguishes artisan ranges from standard catering ceramics.

In practical terms, porcelain at this specification offers the durability expected in a commercial environment. The material holds heat reasonably well for serving applications and is suitable for the pressures of regular hospitality service. The rectangular format at this size is commonly used for sharing plates, starter presentations, or structured plating in casual dining and restaurant settings.

The Storm glaze finishes naturally lend themselves to contemporary and rustic dining aesthetics, and the variation between pieces is often used deliberately by operators to reinforce a handcrafted narrative on the table. Because each piece differs slightly, no two table settings will be identical — something that works in favour of a certain style of dining offer, though operators seeking strict uniformity should bear that in mind before ordering.

This range suits restaurants, boutique hotels, and hospitality venues where tableware presentation is part of the guest experience. For operators needing a more standardised or higher-volume workhorse range, alternatives within the Steelite catalogue may be more appropriate.

If you're building out a full tableware specification or want to discuss how the Storm range fits alongside other pieces in the Potters Collection, the team is happy to help.

The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm plates are hand-finished porcelain side plates, each produced with slight natural variation in colour and surface finish. That variation is intentional — it reflects the artisan process behind the range and gives each cover a degree of individuality whilst the collection reads consistently across a table setting.

In service, porcelain of this type handles the demands of a professional kitchen well. The plates are dishwasher safe and built to commercial durability standards, so they hold up through repeated wash cycles without the glaze deteriorating in the way you might see with lower-fired earthenware. The Storm colourway — a deep, moody blue-grey — tends to read particularly well under the warmer lighting common in restaurant dining rooms, and photographs cleanly for menu and social content.

Practically, the 190mm diameter positions these as a side plate or starter plate rather than a main course plate. They work well as:

• Bread and butter plates at a set table
• Starter or small plates in a sharing or tasting format
• Plating for desserts or small snack courses
• Accompaniment plates alongside larger serving pieces in the same collection

Because each piece differs slightly, operators should be aware that two plates from the same pack will not be identical. For venues where absolute uniformity is required, this range may not be the right fit. For restaurants where a handcrafted, artisanal aesthetic is part of the dining offer, that variation is a positive quality.

The plates are sold in packs of 12, which suits initial trialling or supplementing an existing collection. Higher-volume operations covering multiple sections may want to consider purchasing in greater quantity to ensure consistency across the full set.

If you are building a complete tabletop scheme around this collection or want to confirm suitability for your service style, we are happy to talk it through.

The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm Mugs are hand-crafted porcelain pieces produced in Australia, distributed in the UK through Steelite. Each mug carries slight natural variation in colour and surface finish — an intentional characteristic of the artisan production process rather than a quality inconsistency. The result is a collection that reads as cohesive on a table while retaining an individual, made-by-hand quality that mass-produced tableware cannot replicate.

In service, that tactile, studio-pottery feel tends to land well with guests in settings where the overall experience is considered and deliberate. The porcelain construction means these mugs hold up to the stresses of a commercial environment — dishwasher cycling, stacking, and the general throughput of a busy floor — without sacrificing the aesthetic. The Storm colourway sits in a deep, muted blue-grey tone that works across a range of interior styles without looking forced.

Practical considerations worth noting before ordering:

• Each piece varies slightly — this is by design, not a fault to raise with the supplier
• Porcelain construction supports standard commercial dishwasher use
• The 334ml capacity suits standard hot drink service including flat whites, cappuccinos, and tea
• Supplied in a pack of 24, making it a practical opening order for a new venue or a top-up for an established one

These mugs are well suited to independent cafés, boutique hotels, brunch restaurants, and any venue where tableware is treated as part of the overall guest experience. They are less suited to high-turnover fast-casual environments where uniformity and rapid replacement are the priority.

The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm plate is a commercially produced artisan porcelain plate that brings a handcrafted aesthetic to the dining table. Manufactured by Steelite to Robert Gordon's Australian-designer-led brief, each plate carries subtle natural variation in colour and surface finish — intentional characteristics of the production process rather than inconsistencies. Sold in packs of six, the plates work as a cohesive collection despite each piece being individually distinct.

In service, porcelain of this type is well suited to environments where the presentation of food is as important as its preparation. The material holds up to regular commercial use and the demands of a busy pass, though the artisan glaze finish means operators should assess suitability for high-speed, high-volume canteen or cafeteria environments where purely functional tableware is usually preferred. The Storm colourway lends itself particularly well to modern bistro, restaurant, and boutique hotel dining settings.

Practical considerations for a plate of this nature include:

• Natural variation in tone and finish across each piece — consistent with the collection's character
• Porcelain construction suited to everyday commercial service
• Pack of six supports smaller floor sets or initial trialling before scaling quantities
• Compatible with Steelite's broader commercial tableware range for mixed floor use

This plate is best suited to independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and dining concepts where distinctive, tactile tableware forms part of the guest experience. Sites with a very high table-turn rate or limited storage for hand-sorted tableware may wish to consider a more uniform alternative from the wider catalogue.

If you are building a full floor set or coordinating across a broader table scheme, our team is happy to talk through quantities, mix-and-match options within the Potters Collection, and what works well in practice.

The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm Handled Crocks are a range of artisan-style porcelain serveware produced by Steelite in collaboration with Australian designer Robert Gordon. Each piece is finished with intentional variation in colour and surface texture, giving the collection a handcrafted character that reads well on a laid table while still meeting the practical demands of commercial service.

Despite their artisan appearance, these crocks are constructed from porcelain and are built to withstand the routine of a working kitchen — dishwasher cycles, stacking, and the general wear of daily service. The deliberate variation between individual pieces is a design feature rather than a quality inconsistency, and when used across a table setting the pieces work together cohesively rather than appearing mismatched.

The 9oz capacity makes these crocks well suited to serving sides, condiments, snacks, or small sharing portions. As handled pieces they offer straightforward handling from kitchen to table, and the form factor works across a range of dining styles from casual to contemporary.

• Artisan-style finish adds character to table presentations without requiring elaborate styling
• Porcelain construction supports everyday commercial use and standard dishwashing
• Handled design aids ease of service and table placement
• Natural piece-to-piece variation creates a curated, non-uniform look
• Pack of 24 provides a practical opening quantity for a new menu roll-out or concept launch

These crocks are best suited to independent restaurants, gastropubs, hotel dining rooms, or any operation looking to add a tactile, handcrafted quality to their table. They are not the right choice where strict uniformity of finish is required across every cover.

If you're considering these as part of a broader tableware specification or want to discuss quantities and how they work alongside other pieces in the range, we're happy to talk it through before you place an order.

The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm spice dishes are small porcelain condiment and tasting vessels designed for table service, sharing plates, and mise en place presentation. Each piece is produced using an artisan process, which means individual items vary slightly in tone and finish — a deliberate characteristic of the range rather than a defect. Despite this variation, the pieces sit together coherently as a collection, making them well suited to casual dining, modern bistro, and sharing-menu concepts where a handcrafted aesthetic is part of the overall experience.

At 1oz capacity, these dishes are practical for small condiment portions, single-serve sauces, dipping accompaniments, or seasoning presentation. The porcelain construction is durable enough for regular front-of-house cycling and is suitable for commercial dishwasher use, which matters in any operation turning covers at pace. The Storm colourway — a deep, moody blue-grey glaze — adds visual depth to a table setting without competing with the food.

A few things worth considering before ordering: because each piece is individually finished, there will be natural variation across a pack of 24. For operations that require a very uniform, consistent look, this characteristic may not suit the house style. The pieces are also relatively compact, so they are not intended as general-purpose side dishes — their strength is in portion-controlled accompaniments and table-level presentation details.

This size and style works well for restaurants, wine bars, and casual dining operators running sharing or small-plates menus. If your operation requires a plainer, more uniform aesthetic, other ranges in the catalogue may be a closer fit.

The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm condiment trays are small porcelain pieces designed for presenting condiments, dips, or accompaniments at the table. Each tray is made from porcelain and carries the characteristic variation in colour and surface finish that defines the Potters Collection — no two pieces are quite identical, which gives the range its handcrafted character while remaining consistent enough to work as a matched set across a full dining room.

In service, these trays suit settings where presentation is considered part of the guest experience. They are well suited to casual dining restaurants, café environments, and hospitality venues that favour an artisan aesthetic over a more formal uniform look. The porcelain construction offers reasonable durability in everyday service, though the tactile, slightly irregular finish means they are better placed in environments where that quality is appreciated rather than settings requiring a crisp, standardised appearance.

Practical points worth noting for operators:

• Porcelain construction suitable for everyday table service use
• Pack of 24 provides useful opening stock for a mid-sized dining room
• Natural variation in finish gives each piece a handcrafted character
• Small 81mm diameter suits single-portion condiment presentation
• Coordinates with other pieces in the Robert Gordon Potters Collection

As with any decorative tableware that relies on surface variation for its appeal, it is worth considering how they will look after repeated commercial warewashing cycles over time. The finish may evolve with heavy use, which some operators find adds to the character while others may find less desirable.

The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm oil dishes are small porcelain condiment dishes designed for table service of oils, dips, sauces, and similar accompaniments. Each piece is finished by hand, which means colour and surface texture vary slightly from dish to dish — a deliberate characteristic of the range rather than a quality inconsistency. The result is a collection that reads as cohesive on the table while retaining an artisan quality that mass-produced tableware cannot replicate.

Made from porcelain, these dishes are built to withstand the demands of regular restaurant service. The material is hard-wearing, non-porous, and holds up well through repeated dishwasher cycles without significant loss of finish over time. The earthy, storm-blue glaze tones suit contemporary and rustic dining concepts equally well, and the variation between pieces tends to become a point of interest for diners rather than a distraction.

From an operational standpoint, these dishes work well wherever a small condiment or dipping vessel is needed at the table or on a sharing board. They are compact enough to sit alongside other service items without crowding the cover, and the 2oz capacity is well proportioned for olive oil, balsamic, flavoured butter, or small sauce portions.

• Porcelain construction suitable for regular commercial dishwasher use
• Hand-finished glaze creates natural variation that enhances the artisan table setting
• Compact footprint integrates easily into existing cover layouts
• Well suited to sharing boards, bread service, and small condiment presentation
• Pack of 24 provides a practical quantity for consistent table coverage in a mid-sized operation

This range is particularly well suited to independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and bistros where the character of the tableware is part of the overall dining experience. Operators running a higher volume of covers or seeking a more uniform look across a large estate may want to discuss alternative options with the team before committing to the range.

The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm Coupe Dishes are handcrafted porcelain tableware designed for operators who want a distinctive, artisan aesthetic without sacrificing the robustness expected in a professional setting. Each piece is individually crafted, meaning there is a natural variation in colour tone and surface finish from dish to dish — this is intentional to the range, not a quality inconsistency. The result is a cohesive collection that still reads as a unified table setting whilst retaining the character of hand-finished pottery.

In a busy front-of-house environment, the porcelain construction provides reliable durability for regular service cycles, including repeated dishwasher use. The coupe profile — with its shallow, wide form — works well for plated starters, sharing dishes, or dessert presentations where the food itself is the focal point and the rim is kept minimal. The 184mm diameter makes these a practical size for individual portions without being oversized.

• Artisan porcelain with intentional variation in colour and finish across each piece
• Coupe profile suited to plated starters, desserts, and sharing presentations
• Commercially rated for repeated dishwasher use in professional kitchens
• Supplied in a pack of 12, suitable for smaller covers or as part of a wider service roll-out
• Designed by Robert Gordon, an established Australian ceramics brand with an international hospitality presence

These dishes are particularly well suited to independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and hospitality venues where presentation style is part of the guest experience. For larger operations requiring higher stock volumes, additional packs can be considered, though it is worth noting that the handcrafted nature of the range means some batch-to-batch variation in tone is normal and expected.
