Product Description
The Steelite Bead Black Band pasta plate is a 240mm vitrified china plate from the Bead range, distinguished by a bold black colour band around the rim. The plate is intended for pasta and similar plated dishes and sits comfortably within both formal dining and contemporary restaurant settings. Each pack contains twelve plates.
Vitrified china is a practical choice for busy front-of-house environments. It is denser and more resistant to chipping than standard earthenware, holds up well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles, and retains a clean, consistent appearance over time. The black band detailing stays crisp with normal operational use and does not require any special handling beyond standard commercial warewashing practice.
From an operational standpoint, the Bead Black Band plate offers a few practical advantages worth noting:
- Vitrified china construction resists chipping and crazing under heavy daily use
- Consistent 240mm diameter supports portion control and uniform plate presentation
- Black band detailing frames plated dishes cleanly without dominating the presentation
- Compatible with standard commercial dishwashers and high-temperature wash cycles
- Pack of 12 supports straightforward par stock management for most cover sizes
There are no particular installation or infrastructure requirements for tableware of this kind. Storage considerations are standard — plates stack securely and the 240mm diameter fits most conventional plate storage systems. Operators should confirm shelf and rack dimensions if working with tight back-of-house storage.
This plate is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and event caterers looking for a refined table setting with a consistent, durable finish. For very high-volume operations requiring larger par stocks, it is worth discussing quantity requirements with us to ensure continuity of supply.
If you are putting together a full table setting or want to confirm how the Bead Black Band range works across different plate sizes, we are happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Vitrified china is denser and less porous than standard earthenware, which makes it more resistant to chipping, crazing, and staining under daily commercial use. It is a common choice for front-of-house tableware precisely because it maintains its appearance through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without deteriorating quickly.
- This depends on your cover count, table turn rate, and dishwasher cycle time. As a general guide, most operators work on a ratio of two to three times their seated cover count to maintain a comfortable rotation through service and washing. If you are unsure what quantity suits your operation, we are happy to talk it through.
- Vitrified china is not suitable for direct induction use and should not be placed in a conventional oven. For plate warming, a dedicated plate warmer or warming cabinet is the correct approach. If you need guidance on plate-warming solutions to complement your tableware, we can advise on suitable options.
