Product Description
The Steelite Contour 150mm plate is a six-inch side or bread plate finished in plain white, forming part of Steelite's established Contour range. It is manufactured in alumina vitrified ceramic, a dense, non-porous body that distinguishes commercial crockery from lighter domestic alternatives and is a standard choice across professional food service operations.
In practical terms, alumina vitrified ceramic offers meaningful advantages in a working kitchen environment. The material withstands the thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers without crazing, resists staining from oils, sauces, and acidic ingredients, and holds up well against the daily handling stress of busy service. Steelite backs this plate with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which reflects the robustness of the body and glaze construction rather than being a token gesture.
- Resistant to thermal shock from repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
- Dense ceramic body resists staining and surface crazing over time
- Consistent white glaze supports a clean, uniform table presentation
- Lifetime edge chip warranty provides long-term confidence in durability
- Available in a pack of 36, suited to stocking a full service section
At 150mm this is a compact plate, most commonly used as a side plate, bread plate, or accompaniment plate rather than a main course piece. It sits comfortably within a mixed Contour table setting alongside larger plates from the same range, which helps operators maintain a consistent look across a cover without sourcing from multiple suppliers.
If you are building a new crockery specification or replacing stock across a larger operation, it is worth considering the full range of sizes and pack quantities available. The team is happy to help match quantities to your cover count or advise on complementary pieces within the Contour collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is fired at higher temperatures and to a denser body than standard earthenware or stoneware, making it less porous and more resistant to thermal shock and staining. In a commercial environment where crockery goes through industrial dishwashers multiple times a day, this construction holds up considerably better over time and is the material specification most operators in professional food service would look for.
- At 150mm (six inches), this plate is best suited as a side plate, bread plate, or accompaniment plate. For main course use, a larger diameter within the Contour range would typically be more appropriate, and Steelite produces the range across multiple sizes to support a complete cover specification.
- A general rule of thumb for crockery planning is to hold three times your seated cover count to allow for plates in use, in the wash, and in reserve. For a 40-cover restaurant that would suggest around 120 side plates, equating to roughly three packs of 36. If you would like help working through quantities for your specific operation, the team can advise based on your service style and cover count.
