Product Description
The Steelite Bead Black Band plate is a 165mm vitrified china side plate from Steelite's Bead range, distinguished by a bold black colour band around the rim. It is a compact plate suitable for bread, side dishes, petit fours, or amuse-bouche, and works as part of a coordinated table cover where the black band ties the place setting together visually.
Vitrified china is the standard choice for busy restaurant and hotel dining rooms because it withstands repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without significant crazing or colour fade. At 283.5g per plate, these are a practical weight — substantial enough to feel considered on the table without being unwieldy for front-of-house staff handling multiple covers.
The black band detail gives the range a degree of formality and precision that suits tasting menus, fine dining, and contemporary brasserie settings equally well. It also works in more traditional dining rooms where a clean, graphic accent reads as classic rather than trend-led.
- Vitrified china construction for durability in commercial dishwasher use
- Bold black band provides a consistent, coordinated table aesthetic
- 165mm diameter suitable for side plates, bread, and small courses
- Sold in packs of 12, suited to standard restaurant cover multiples
- Part of the wider Bead range, allowing matched place settings

Frequently Asked Questions
- As a rough guide, most operations aim for two to three times their seated cover count to allow for dishwasher turnaround and breakage contingency. A 40-cover restaurant would typically hold 80 to 120 side plates in rotation, suggesting seven to ten packs of 12 as a starting point, depending on service pace and washing frequency.
- Yes. Vitrified china is specifically produced for commercial foodservice environments and is designed to withstand the higher temperatures and detergent concentrations used in commercial dishwashers. The black band is part of the fired decoration rather than a surface application, so it is not susceptible to washing off under normal commercial use.
- The Bead Black Band is a collection within Steelite's broader Bead range, and multiple pieces and sizes are available to build a matched table cover. If you are specifying the range across a full dining room, it is worth confirming which pieces are currently in stock or available to order so your covers remain consistent.
