Product Description
The Steelite Craft Blue Freestyle Plate is a large-format presentation plate from Steelite's Craft collection, designed to bring a hand-crafted, artisanal aesthetic to the table. At 370mm across, it offers a generous surface suited to refined plating where negative space and composition are part of the dish. The distinctive free-form shape and rich hand-applied blue glaze give each plate a character that works well in settings where the tableware is intended to contribute to the overall dining experience.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these plates are built to stand up to the demands of regular professional service. The vitrified construction makes them more resistant to chipping and cracking than standard earthenware, and the finish holds up well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without significant fading or crazing. Steelite backs these plates with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which reflects the confidence placed in the manufacturing quality.
In practical terms, the Craft Blue range suits operations where presentation is a priority and the tableware is expected to reinforce the style of the menu. The plate is oven and microwave safe, giving kitchens flexibility for finishing or holding dishes on the pass. Key operational considerations include:
- Suitable for oven, microwave, and commercial dishwasher use
- Alumina vitrified ceramic construction resists chipping under daily service
- Freestyle shape adds visual character without compromising stackability
- Rich blue glaze applied by hand — minor variation between pieces is intentional
- Sold in packs of six, suited to table top planning and reorder management
These plates are best suited to restaurants, bistros, and café dining rooms where presentation and tableware aesthetics are given deliberate attention. The larger format makes them particularly appropriate for main course plating in establishments serving elaborate or visually composed dishes. For high-turnover or casual operations where durability and uniformity take precedence over character, a plainer vitrified range may be more practical.
If you are specifying tableware across a full cover count or mixing pieces from the Craft range, the team is happy to talk through quantities, mix-and-match options, and suitability for your service style.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The alumina vitrified ceramic construction is well suited to the rigours of professional service, offering better chip and crack resistance than standard earthenware. The lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite reflects this, and the plates are rated for commercial dishwasher use, making them practical for daily cycling.
- Minor variation between pieces is a deliberate characteristic of the Craft range, which is inspired by traditional hand-crafted wares. In practice this means no two plates are identical, which contributes to the artisanal aesthetic. If absolute uniformity is a requirement for your operation, a standard production-glazed range would be a more consistent choice.
- As a general guide, most operations plan for two to three times their seated cover count to allow for plates in service, on the pass, and in the wash cycle simultaneously. For a 40-cover restaurant, 80 to 120 plates is a commonly used starting point, though service pace and dishwasher turnaround time will affect the exact number. The team can help you work through the right quantity for your specific setup.
