Product Description
The Steelite Bead plate is a 270mm vitrified china dinner plate finished in a clean, traditional bead-rim profile. It sits within Steelite's established Bead range, which is widely used across restaurants, hotels, and contract catering environments where a classic presentation style is required alongside practical back-of-house durability.
Vitrified china is the standard material of choice in professional hospitality tableware for good reason. It withstands the daily demands of commercial dishwashing cycles, resists chipping better than standard earthenware, and holds its glaze well over an extended service life. At just under 880g per plate, the Bead 270mm has a reassuring weight in service without being cumbersome for floor staff handling full covers.
From an operational standpoint, the Bead range offers a few practical advantages worth noting:
- Classic rim profile presents dishes cleanly without distracting from plating
- Vitrified construction suited to high-frequency dishwasher cycles
- Consistent glaze finish supports uniform table presentation across a full cover set
- Stackable profile supports efficient storage and pass organisation
- Available in case quantities that suit bulk stock purchasing for busy operations
This plate is well suited to mid-range restaurants, hotel dining rooms, pub kitchens, and contract catering facilities where a timeless aesthetic is preferred and longevity under heavy use is a priority. For operations running very high covers or requiring specific rim profiles or colourways, the broader Steelite catalogue carries a wide range of complementary pieces and pattern alternatives.
If you are building out a full cover specification or matching existing tableware, our team is happy to talk through what works best for your service style and volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Vitrified china is the standard choice for commercial tableware precisely because it is engineered to handle the repetitive stresses of busy service — frequent handling, stacking, and commercial dishwasher cycles. The Bead range is widely specified in restaurants and hotel dining rooms running multiple covers per service.
- A 270mm plate is a standard main course size in most commercial dining environments, giving chefs sufficient surface area for composed plating without the plate appearing oversized on the table. It is a practical all-round choice for most cuisine styles.
- The Bead range from Steelite is designed as a coordinated collection, so side plates, bowls, and other pieces within the range share the same profile and glaze finish. If you are building a full table specification or matching existing Bead pieces, it is worth confirming compatibility with us before ordering in volume.
