Product Description
The Steelite Bead range is a well-established flatware collection with a clean, understated profile. In the Truffle colourway — a warm, muted grey-tone glaze — it sits comfortably across both contemporary and more traditional dining environments. The 285mm coupe plate is a practical all-rounder: large enough for composed main course plating, with the rimless coupe format giving chefs a broad, uninterrupted canvas for presentation.
Vitrified china construction means these plates are built to withstand the demands of regular commercial service. The vitrification process produces a dense, non-porous body that resists chipping, crazing, and staining better than standard earthenware or porcelain alternatives, which matters when plates are cycling through a commercial glasswasher or dishwasher multiple times a day. At just under 1kg per plate, they have a solid, quality feel in service without being unwieldy for front-of-house staff handling multiple covers.
Practical benefits for operators include:
- Dishwasher-safe vitrified china holds up well to high-frequency commercial wash cycles
- The neutral Truffle tone works with a wide range of food colours and plating styles
- Rimless coupe format gives chefs maximum usable plate surface
- Consistent glaze finish supports uniform presentation across large cover counts
- Sold in packs of 6, making it straightforward to build or top up par stock
These plates require no special installation or infrastructure — they are ready for immediate use in any commercial setting. The main practical consideration is storage: at 285mm diameter, stacking space in plate warmers or shelving should be confirmed before ordering in volume. Plate warmer compatibility is worth checking if your operation runs plates hot prior to service.
The Bead Truffle 285mm coupe is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, private members clubs, and event catering operations where presentation quality and durability both matter. It works equally well in high-volume covers as in more intimate settings. For operations needing smaller side or starter plates, or a larger sharing-format plate, the Bead Truffle range extends across multiple sizes.
If you are building a full table setting around the Bead Truffle collection or want to confirm quantities for a new opening, our team is happy to talk through what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Vitrified china is the standard material for commercial tableware precisely because it tolerates the high temperatures and detergent concentrations used in commercial dishwashers and glasswashers. The dense, non-porous body resists crazing and staining that can affect lower-grade ceramics over time.
- A common starting point is three times your seated cover count for a standard two-sitting service, to allow for plates in use, plates in the wash cycle, and a buffer for breakages. Higher-volume operations or those running continuous sittings may want to hold more. If you are setting up a new opening and want to work through the numbers, our team can help.
- The Truffle glaze is a consistent colourway across the Bead collection, so plates, bowls, and other pieces within the same range should coordinate well. As with all ceramic glazes, there can be very slight batch variation, so if you are matching to existing stock it is worth checking both are from current production.
