Product Description
The Steelite Blue Dapple Slimline Plate is a 255mm (10 inch) ceramic plate from the Simplicity range, featuring a white body with a sponged blue border applied to a rolled edge. It is made from alumina vitrified ceramic, a robust, dense material widely used in commercial catering crockery for its resistance to chipping, crazing, and the rigours of daily machine washing.
In a busy service environment, crockery takes a significant amount of punishment — through constant handling, stacking, mechanical dishwashing, and the inevitable knocks that come with high-turnover operations. Alumina vitrified ceramic is well suited to these conditions, holding its finish and structural integrity better than standard earthenware or lower-grade porcelain. The rolled edge adds a degree of practical resilience at the point most likely to make contact with other plates and surfaces. Steelite back this with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which is a meaningful commitment for volume catering operations concerned with ongoing replacement costs.
The Blue Dapple finish offers a simple, distinctive presentation that works well in settings where plain white feels flat but heavier decorative styles would feel out of place. The sponged blue rim gives a consistent aesthetic across a table without demanding a fully coordinated tableware scheme.
- Suitable for restaurants, cafés, canteens, and buffet operations
- Handles frequent machine washing without significant glaze deterioration
- Rolled edge improves resilience during stacking and service
- Supplied in packs of 24, practical for ordering in quantity
- Lifetime edge chip warranty reduces long-term replacement costs
This plate is a practical choice for operators who want a degree of colour on the table without committing to an elaborate tableware concept. If you are specifying crockery across multiple plate sizes or want to discuss coordinating pieces within the Blue Dapple range, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is the standard material for commercial catering crockery precisely because it withstands the temperature cycles and detergents used in commercial pass-through and rack dishwashers. The glaze is designed to resist crazing and dulling under repeated machine washing, which matters in high-turnover operations where crockery may be cycled through a dishwasher several times a day.
- Steelite's lifetime edge chip warranty covers manufacturing defects and edge chipping under normal commercial use for the working life of the product. It is worth confirming the specific terms with us before ordering, particularly if you are specifying crockery across a large operation, as the warranty can meaningfully reduce long-term replacement spend.
- A 255mm plate is a commonly used size for main course presentation in casual dining and bistro-style settings, and it works well in canteen and buffet service too. For fine dining or larger portion presentations, operators sometimes prefer a 280mm or 300mm plate, while a 255mm can also serve as a generous starter plate depending on the concept. If you are unsure which size best suits your menu and cover style, it is worth discussing your service format with the team.
