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

The Steelite Craft Green Freestyle Plate is a 155mm side or starter plate from Steelite's Craft collection, produced in alumina vitrified ceramic with a hand-applied green glaze. The freestyle shape gives each plate a subtly irregular, artisan quality that sets it apart from standard round crockery, making it a practical choice for operators who want tableware that contributes to the overall dining experience without requiring elaborate food styling.

In a busy service environment, the alumina vitrified ceramic construction is the detail that matters most. It produces a denser, harder body than standard earthenware or porcelain, which helps the plates hold up well through high-volume dishwasher cycles and the general handling pressures of a professional kitchen. Steelite back the edges with a lifetime chip warranty, which reflects the material's robustness rather than being a marketing gesture — edge chipping on smaller plates is a common source of ongoing replacement cost, so this is worth noting when assessing total cost of ownership.

Practical advantages for kitchen and front-of-house teams include:

• Safe for oven, microwave, and commercial dishwasher use
• Hand-applied glaze gives a consistent rustic aesthetic across the set
• Alumina vitrified ceramic resists staining and retains glaze integrity over time
• Freestyle shape suits plated starters, side dishes, and sharing presentations
• Supplied in a pack of 12, suited to standard cover counts or topping up existing stock

There are no special storage or handling requirements beyond standard crockery practice. The plates stack readily and the 155mm diameter fits comfortably within most standard crockery storage systems. At this size, they are not suited to main course use but work well as side plates, amuse-bouche presentations, or starter plates in a smaller-portion format.

These plates are well suited to independent restaurants, bistros, and café operators looking for tableware with character that can still withstand the demands of daily professional use. The green glaze and freestyle form work particularly well alongside natural and earthy table settings, though the neutral tone sits comfortably in a range of dining environments. Operators running higher cover volumes may want to consider larger pack quantities to ensure adequate rotation stock.

If you'd like guidance on building a full Craft Green table setting or matching this plate with other pieces in the range, the team is happy to help.
