Product Description
The Robert Gordon Potters Collection Storm plates are hand-finished artisan porcelain pieces designed for commercial table settings where individual character matters. Each plate in the collection carries slight natural variations in colour and surface finish — an intentional quality of the making process rather than inconsistency — which gives a table setting a considered, handcrafted feel without sacrificing coherence across a full cover.
In practice, these plates perform well in hospitality environments that want to move away from uniform, mass-produced tableware. The porcelain construction is durable enough for regular service use and repeated machine washing, while the 232mm diameter makes them well suited to side plates, bread plates, or smaller starter presentations depending on your menu format.
Key practical considerations for operators:
- Natural variation in tone and finish is a designed feature — no two pieces are identical
- Porcelain construction is suitable for commercial dishwasher use
- Pack of 12 supports consistent table setting across multiple covers
- The Storm colourway works across a range of table linen and glassware palettes
- Best suited to settings where artisan aesthetics are part of the dining concept
These plates are most appropriate for independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and café-bistro operations where the tableware is expected to contribute to the overall dining experience. They are less suited to high-turnover, canteen-style environments where uniformity and speed of replacement are the primary considerations. If your operation requires significantly higher cover counts or a more neutral aesthetic, other formats within the Robert Gordon range or broader Steelite portfolio may be worth exploring.
If you are building a full table setting around the Potters Collection or want to discuss how these plates work alongside other pieces in the range, we are happy to help you put together the right combination.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The variation in tone and surface finish between individual pieces is entirely intentional and is a defining characteristic of the Potters Collection. Each plate is hand-finished, meaning no two are identical. This is something to consider when setting guest expectations — it works well in settings where a handcrafted aesthetic is part of the concept, but may not suit operations that require a highly uniform table presentation.
- Yes, the porcelain construction is appropriate for commercial dishwasher cycles as used in most hospitality environments. As with any artisan-finished tableware, it is worth reviewing the dishwasher chemistry and temperature settings to preserve the surface finish over time — particularly with high-alkaline detergents.
- That depends on your cover count, table turn rate, and dishwashing cycle time. As a general guide, operators typically hold two to three times their seated cover count in each plate size to allow for service, clearing, and washing without running short during a busy period. If you would like help working through the quantities needed for your operation, we are happy to advise.
