Steelite Craft Blue Coupe Plates 150mm (Pack of 36)

The Steelite Craft Blue Coupe Plate is a 150mm side or starter plate from Steelite's Craft collection, made from alumina vitrified ceramic with a hand-applied blue glaze. The coupe profile — shallow and rimless — keeps the focus on the food and gives chefs a clean canvas for plating. The rich, slightly varied tone of the glaze gives each piece a handmade character that reads well in both relaxed café environments and more considered restaurant settings.

In a busy service environment, the alumina vitrified ceramic body is the practical choice. It handles the daily cycle of dishwasher runs, oven use, and microwave finishing without the wear problems you see with softer ceramic bodies. The glaze holds its colour and finish over time, which matters when you're running a matched set across a large cover count. Steelite backs the range with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which gives some reassurance when plates are passing through a commercial rack washer multiple times a day.

From an operational standpoint, the 150mm format works well as a side plate, a bread plate, or a plated starter in a multi-course setting. Practical advantages include:

• Oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe for flexible kitchen use
• Lifetime edge chip warranty supporting long-term front-of-house investment
• Hand-applied glaze with natural tonal variation — no two pieces are identical
• Rimless coupe shape simplifies plating and reduces chipping risk at the edge
• Pack of 36 suits initial cover setups or topping up existing sets

A pack of 36 is a practical quantity for a medium-sized operation, though high-volume sites or those running multiple sittings may want to consider whether additional stock is needed to allow for breakages and wash cycles running concurrently with service.

This plate suits cafés, bistros, independent restaurants, and hotel dining rooms where a natural, artisan aesthetic fits the concept. If you're building a full table setting around the Craft Blue range or need guidance on cover quantities for your operation, the team is happy to help you work through it.
