Steelite Craft Blue Freestyle Plates 155mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Craft Blue Freestyle Plate is a 155mm side or starter plate from Steelite's Craft collection, designed to bring an artisanal, hand-crafted aesthetic to table settings in professional hospitality environments. The freestyle shape gives each plate a slightly irregular, organic outline that differs from standard round crockery, and the rich blue glaze is applied by hand, meaning there is a natural variation between pieces that contributes to the overall character of the range rather than detracting from it.

Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these plates are built for the realities of a busy commercial kitchen. The material offers good resistance to chipping and crazing under regular service conditions, and Steelite backs the range with a lifetime edge chip warranty — which is a meaningful indicator of confidence in the product's durability. They are oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe, so they can move through a working kitchen without requiring special handling or dedicated wash cycles.

From an operational standpoint, the Craft Blue range tends to work well in settings where the plate itself forms part of the presentation — the blue glaze and organic shape provide a strong contrast against lighter foods and work particularly well for sharing plates, starters, and dessert courses. The natural, tactile quality of the glaze suits casual dining venues, independent cafés, and speciality restaurants looking for something with more character than a standard white plate.

Because the freestyle shape is non-standard, it is worth considering how these plates will stack and store in your existing racking and shelving — a small practical point, but one worth checking before ordering in volume for a large operation.
