Steelite Bead Plates 202mm Vitrified China (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Bead plate is a side or starter plate produced in vitrified china, finished with a simple raised bead detail around the rim. The design sits within a traditional tableware aesthetic and works well across a range of dining environments, from casual bistros to more formal restaurant settings.

Vitrified china is a practical choice for busy food service operations. The material is fired at high temperatures, which produces a dense, hard-wearing body that resists chipping and crazing better than standard earthenware. It handles the repeated thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers reliably, and the glaze retains its appearance over a long service life with normal care.

For operators, the practical advantages of the Bead range include:

• Hard-wearing vitrified china body suited to high-frequency dishwasher use
• Classic bead rim profile that stacks and handles cleanly in busy pass and service conditions
• Consistent glaze finish that presents well across a full table setting
• Sold in packs of 12, making it straightforward to manage par stock and replace breakages

As a 202mm plate, this size is most commonly used as a side plate, bread plate, or starter plate. It is not a main course size, so operators planning a full cover should ensure they are selecting the appropriate size from the wider Bead range for each course. The pack quantity of 12 suits most initial orders and top-up purchases, though higher-volume sites may need to order multiple packs to achieve working par levels.

The Bead range suits restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations looking for a reliable, classically styled plate that will perform consistently through heavy daily use. If you are building out a full cover or are unsure which sizes to combine across the range, the team is happy to help you work through the selection.
