Delivery Information
Price Match
The Maham Studio Spice Saffron stacking trays are part of the Maham Anjum collection produced by Steelite, combining a hand-thrown terracotta aesthetic with the practical demands of commercial tableware. Each tray is made from vitrified stoneware with an unglazed exterior and a reactive saffron glaze on the interior, giving each piece a degree of natural variation in finish — a deliberate characteristic of the design rather than a flaw.
In service, these trays work well for sharing plates, small bites, bar snacks, and appetiser presentations where the visual character of the tableware contributes to the overall dining experience. The stacking format makes storage practical between sittings, which matters in operations where back-of-house space is limited.
- Vitrified stoneware construction suitable for regular commercial use
- Stackable design aids compact storage during and between service
- Reactive glaze finish adds natural variation — each piece is slightly individual
- Well suited to informal dining, bar food, and sharing-plate formats
- Supplied as a pack of 12, practical for building consistent cover sets
It is worth noting that reactive and unglazed finishes can require more considered care than standard fully-glazed ware — check Steelite's guidance on dishwasher use and detergent compatibility to maintain the finish over time. As with most decorative stoneware, these are designed to complement a considered table setting rather than serve as a workhorse piece across all formats.
These trays are best suited to restaurants, hotels, gastro pubs, and bar operations looking to add texture and warmth to their tabletop presentation. If you are fitting out a larger operation and want to discuss quantities, mix of pieces, or how this collection works alongside other tableware, we are happy to help.
Frequently asked questions
Are these trays suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?
Steelite produces its vitrified stoneware to withstand commercial dishwasher use, but reactive and unglazed finishes can be sensitive to harsh detergents over time. We'd recommend checking Steelite's care guidance for this specific collection and trialling a small quantity before committing to a full set, particularly if your operation uses high-alkaline chemicals.
How many trays do I need to cover a typical restaurant service?
That depends on your cover count, your menu format, and how quickly your pot wash turns pieces around. As a rough guide, most operators aim for at least two to three pieces per cover when using smallwares of this type for sharing plates or starters. The 12-pack is a practical starting point, and we can advise on quantities if you let us know more about your service.
Does the natural variation in the glaze affect how the trays look when presented as a matched set?
Reactive glazes are designed to produce variation between pieces — that is part of the aesthetic intent of the Maham Spice collection. In practice, pieces from the same production batch tend to be reasonably consistent in tone, but no two will be identical. For most hospitality settings this reads as character rather than inconsistency, though it is worth being aware of if your tabletop presentation requires very tight visual uniformity.
