Product Description
The Steelite Bead range is a straightforward, well-proportioned tableware collection made from vitrified china. The Sage colourway gives the classic Bead profile a muted, earthy green tone that sits comfortably across a range of interior styles — from relaxed Scandinavian-influenced dining rooms to more traditional restaurant settings. At 165mm, this is a standard side plate size suited to bread, side dishes, petit fours, or plated desserts in lighter portion formats.
Vitrified china is the standard material for commercial foodservice tableware for good reason. It is fired at high temperature to produce a dense, non-porous body that resists chipping better than standard ceramics and holds up reliably under the repeated thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers. For a front-of-house team handling covers at pace, that durability matters — replacement costs and breakage rates are a practical operational concern, and vitrified china typically performs well over a long service life when handled sensibly.
- Vitrified china construction for commercial dishwasher durability
- Sage colourway coordinates across the wider Steelite Bead range
- 165mm diameter suits side, bread, and small dessert presentations
- Smooth bead-edged profile reduces chipping risk on the rim
- Sold in packs of 12, practical for par stock management
There are no unusual storage or handling requirements. The plates stack cleanly and the pack quantity of 12 makes it straightforward to order in multiples to match your covers or build a sensible par stock. If you are outfitting a larger operation or need to coordinate across multiple plate sizes and formats within the Bead Sage range, it is worth thinking through your full tableware requirements together rather than ordering piecemeal.
These plates are well suited to cafés, bistros, hotels, and restaurants where a calm, considered table aesthetic is part of the offer. The Sage colourway works particularly well in venues with natural materials and muted tones. If your operation runs very high covers with aggressive dishwasher cycles, or you need a heavier plate weight for a more formal setting, there may be other formats within the Steelite range worth considering.
If you are building out a full table setting or want to confirm which sizes and formats work together across the Bead Sage range, the team is happy to help you work through it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Vitrified china is the standard choice for commercial tableware precisely because of its durability under repeated thermal cycling. It is denser and less porous than standard ceramics, which means it handles the heat and mechanical stress of commercial dishwashers better over time. Breakage still occurs in busy operations, but a well-made vitrified piece will typically outlast lower-fired alternatives by a significant margin.
- At 165mm, this is a versatile side plate size. It works well for bread, side dishes, amuse-bouches, petit fours, or lighter dessert presentations. It is not a dinner plate, so if you need a larger format for mains, you would want to look at the wider Bead Sage range where larger diameters are available.
- The Bead Sage colourway runs across multiple formats within the Steelite Bead collection, which makes it practical for operators who want a consistent table setting across different plate sizes and supplementary pieces. If you are coordinating a full cover, it is worth confirming current availability across formats before committing to quantities.
