Product Description
The Steelite Bead pasta plate is a vitrified china plate from Steelite's established Bead range, designed specifically for pasta and similar main course presentations. The rimmed profile and generous bowl area provide a defined space for dressed dishes, making plating straightforward and consistent across service. The classic bead detailing along the rim gives the range a clean, timeless appearance that sits comfortably across a wide variety of front-of-house styles without dominating table settings.
Vitrified china is the material of choice for high-turnover restaurant environments. It withstands the thermal and mechanical stresses of commercial dishwashers reliably, and its non-porous surface resists staining and crazing over extended use. For kitchens running multiple covers per sitting, that durability translates directly into lower replacement costs and more consistent presentation throughout the lifecycle of the crockery.
- Rimmed bowl profile supports consistent, controlled plating of pasta dishes
- Vitrified china construction withstands repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
- Non-porous glaze resists staining and maintains appearance over time
- Classic bead rim design suits a broad range of dining styles and table settings
- Sold in packs of 12, practical for opening orders or topping up existing stock
The 240mm diameter suits pasta, risotto, and similar main course portions well. It is a practical size for both à la carte and set-menu operations, though operators running very large portion sizes may want to consider a larger plate from the range. The pack-of-12 format is useful for building or supplementing cover sets without over-committing stock.
This plate is well suited to restaurants, bistros, hotels, and contract catering operations looking for reliable, presentable crockery that performs consistently in a busy wash cycle. If you are specifying crockery for a new opening or a full crockery refresh and want to talk through quantities, mix of sizes, or suitability for your service style, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For most restaurant pasta and risotto portions, 240mm is a practical working size that allows for garnishing and sauce without overcrowding the plate. Operators serving particularly generous portions or large composed dishes may find a larger plate from the Bead range more appropriate.
- Vitrified china is specifically suited to commercial warewashing. Its dense, non-porous body resists the thermal shock and mechanical stacking stresses that cause cheaper earthenware to craze or chip prematurely. For busy operations running multiple washes per shift, it is the standard material choice for good reason.
- Yes, the Bead range is designed as a coordinated collection, so pasta plates sit alongside other Bead pieces — bowls, side plates, and main course plates — without clashing. This makes it straightforward to build a consistent table setting across multiple cover types from a single range.
