Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Rose Quartz Round Trays 203mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Rose Quartz round plate is a 203mm (8") ceramic plate finished with reactive glazes that produce natural colour variation and tonal contrast. Each piece carries its own character, with the rose quartz colourway delivering warm, earthy tones that work across a range of plating styles. Sold in packs of 12, these are made from alumina vitrified ceramic — a material chosen for its strength and durability in commercial service environments.

In busy restaurant and hospitality settings, tableware takes considerable punishment. Alumina vitrified ceramic is well suited to the stacking, warewashing cycles, and everyday handling that commercial operations demand. The reactive glaze finish is applied in combination layers, which means surface variation is intentional and consistent as a design choice rather than a quality inconsistency — something worth communicating to front-of-house teams unfamiliar with the range.

A practical consideration for operators already using Steelite ranges: Aurora is backwards compatible with both the Revolution and Vesuvius collections. This allows kitchens to introduce the Aurora colourway without replacing existing inventory entirely, which is a meaningful advantage when refreshing a table setting in stages or across multiple sites.

These plates are well suited to independent restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and casual dining operations looking to add considered colour to their table presentation. The 203mm size positions them as a side plate, dessert plate, or small starter format depending on the cuisine and service style. For operations requiring a full range of cover sizes, the Aurora collection is available across multiple formats.

If you're building a table setting across several plate sizes or want to discuss how Aurora fits alongside your existing Steelite ranges, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
