Steelite Bead Plates 255mm Vitrified China (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Bead plate is a flat dinner plate in the traditional style, produced in vitrified china and sold in packs of twelve. The bead detail runs around the rim, giving the plate a clean, structured edge that reads as formal without being fussy. At 255mm across, it sits comfortably in the standard dinner plate range — large enough for a composed main course without dominating a table cover.

Vitrified china is the material of choice in most professional table service environments because of how it holds up over time. It resists chipping better than standard earthenware, tolerates repeated commercial dishwasher cycles, and retains its surface gloss through sustained use. The Bead pattern, with its relatively simple profile, is also straightforward to stack and store, which matters when you're turning covers at volume.

In practical terms, this plate suits operations where presentation matters but serviceability matters just as much:

• Consistent white glaze that holds colour under commercial washing
• Bead rim detail adds visual structure without complicating plating
• Stackable profile supports efficient back-of-house storage
• Vitrified china construction handles daily dishwasher use reliably
• Sold in twelves, aligning with standard cover and rack quantities

The Bead range is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, private members clubs, and similar settings where a classic table aesthetic is appropriate. It is less likely to be the right choice for very casual or fast-casual concepts where more robust stoneware or a contemporary shape might better suit the brand. For larger operations needing significant cover counts, it is worth considering quantities and replacement stock at the point of ordering.

If you're building out a full place setting or want to confirm the Bead range fits the look and service style you have in mind, we're happy to talk it through.
