Product Description
The Steelite Bead range is a well-established tableware collection produced in vitrified china — a material chosen by commercial operators for its durability, chip resistance, and ability to withstand the repeated thermal cycling of dishwashers in high-volume service environments. The Truffle colourway gives these 285mm plates a warm, neutral tone that sits comfortably across both contemporary and more traditional dining aesthetics.
At 285mm, these are a practical main course plate size for most table service operations. The bead detailing around the rim adds a degree of visual refinement without being fussy, and the proportions lend themselves well to plated dishes that benefit from clear presentation space. Vitrified china at this specification holds up reliably through the sustained handling and warewashing demands of regular restaurant service.
From an operational standpoint, the Bead Truffle plates offer a few practical advantages worth noting:
- Vitrified china construction resists chipping and crazing better than standard porcelain under daily commercial use
- The neutral Truffle tone works across multiple menu styles without requiring crockery changes between sittings
- Sold in packs of six, making it straightforward to top up existing sets as attrition occurs
- A consistent, stackable profile supports efficient storage and handling in busy back-of-house environments
- Steelite's production consistency means replacement pieces match existing stock reliably over time
These plates are well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, private members clubs, and similar table service environments where presentation matters and durability under daily service is a practical requirement. For very high-volume operations or venues with significant crockery attrition, it is worth considering whether larger case quantities would offer a more cost-effective replenishment approach.
If you are building or refreshing a full crockery specification and want to talk through quantities, mix of sizes, or how the Bead range fits alongside other Steelite collections, the team is happy to help before you commit to an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Vitrified china is the material of choice for commercial table service precisely because it withstands the thermal and mechanical stress of high-frequency warewashing better than standard porcelain. The Bead range is used across restaurant and hotel environments where plates go through multiple dishwasher cycles per day.
- 285mm is a well-established main course plate size in table service — large enough to give the kitchen reasonable presentation space while remaining practical to handle and stack. It suits most plated dishes across European, contemporary British, and similar dining styles. If your kitchen plates particularly generous portions or uses wide sauce work, it is worth considering whether a slightly larger diameter would serve better.
