Product Description
The Steelite Aurora Revolution Bluestone round plate is a 202mm stacking plate produced in alumina vitrified ceramic and finished with a reactive glaze that creates natural variation in tone and depth across each piece. No two plates are identical, which is a deliberate characteristic of the Aurora glaze process rather than a quality inconsistency. The bluestone colourway produces a cool, slate-influenced finish that works well with a wide range of plating styles.
Aurora sits within Steelite's broader Revolution family and is backwards compatible with both the Revolution and Vesuvius ranges. In practice, this means operators who already hold stock in either of those ranges can introduce Aurora pieces without breaking the visual logic of a table setting — useful where a venue is refreshing its look gradually rather than replacing everything at once.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a sensible choice for busy front-of-house environments. It offers good resistance to chipping and crazing under the thermal cycling and mechanical handling that commercial tableware faces during continuous service, and it holds up reliably through commercial dishwasher cycles.
- Stacking profile reduces storage footprint and keeps back-of-house orderly during service
- Reactive glaze finish gives each plate natural colour variation — suited to contemporary plating presentations
- Compatible with Revolution and Vesuvius ranges for mixed-range table settings
- Alumina vitrified ceramic body handles repeated commercial dishwasher use
At 202mm this plate is well suited to sides, starters, and dessert courses rather than main plates, though the decision will depend on your menu format and portion sizes. Venues running high covers will want to assess whether the pack quantity meets their operational par levels before ordering.
If you're building a tableware scheme around Aurora or want guidance on mixing it with existing Steelite ranges, we're happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — Aurora is backwards compatible with both the Revolution and Vesuvius ranges from Steelite, so you can introduce Bluestone pieces alongside existing stock without a visual mismatch. This makes it practical for venues refreshing their tableware gradually rather than replacing everything at once.
- The variation is intentional. Aurora uses reactive glazes that respond to the firing process, meaning each plate carries a slightly different tone and depth. This is characteristic of the range and is generally considered part of its appeal in contemporary table settings.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-established material for commercial tableware — it offers good resistance to chipping and crazing compared to standard porcelain, and it handles the thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers reliably. That said, as with all ceramic tableware, correct handling and stacking procedures will extend service life significantly.
