Product Description
The Steelite Alvo Venitia 165mm plate is a side or starter plate from Steelite's Alvo range, produced in alumina vitrified ceramic with a clean white finish. The gentle curved profile and subtle embossment give it a considered look without overstatement, making it straightforward to pair with a wide range of plating styles and cuisines.
In a busy service environment, durability is as important as appearance. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-regarded choice for commercial tableware precisely because it handles the repeated thermal cycling that comes with professional dishwashing, resists staining during service, and maintains a consistent glaze over time. The Alvo range carries a lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite, which reflects the confidence placed in the material and the manufacturing process.
At 165mm this plate works well as a side plate, bread plate, or small starter plate. Supplied in a pack of 36, it suits operations that need to maintain sufficient cover counts for multi-course service or back-to-back sittings without running short during a busy session.
- Thermal shock resistance supports consistent machine washing in commercial environments
- Stain-resistant glaze helps maintain presentation throughout service
- Flowing profile and embossed detail suit both casual and more formal table settings
- Pack of 36 provides a practical starting quantity for most table covers
This plate is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations looking for reliable everyday tableware. For sites with very high cover volumes or tighter breakage budgets, it is worth discussing whether a larger pack size or supplementary stock level makes sense for your operation.
If you are building out a full table setting or need guidance on matching pieces within the Alvo range, we are happy to help you work through what will suit your service style and volumes.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, at 165mm this plate sits comfortably in both roles. It works well as a bread or side plate alongside a main course, and is a reasonable size for small cold starters or pre-desserts. For more substantial starters, a larger plate from the Alvo range may present the food more effectively.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is specifically chosen for commercial tableware because of its resistance to the thermal shock that comes from repeated high-temperature washing and rapid cooling cycles. It is more robust in this respect than standard earthenware or lower-grade porcelain, which is why it is commonly used in hotels, restaurants, and contract catering operations with high daily cover counts.
- That depends on your cover count, your dishwasher turnaround time, and how many courses involve this plate size. As a starting point, 36 pieces suits a smaller operation or a supplementary stock top-up. Higher-volume sites or those running extended services will typically need multiples of this quantity to avoid shortfalls during a busy period — we can help you work out a practical opening stock level if useful.
