Product Description
The Steelite Craft Green rectangular platter is part of a tableware collection designed to evoke the character of hand-crafted country pottery. Each piece carries a rich, lustrous green glaze applied in a way that produces subtle variation across the surface, giving individual platters a handmade quality that works well as a backdrop to plated food. At 270 x 167mm, the format sits comfortably between a side plate and a full serving platter, making it practical for sharing starters, cheese boards, or individual main courses where a rectangular presentation suits the dish better than a round plate.
In a working kitchen environment, the alumina vitrified ceramic construction is the detail that matters most. This material is considerably denser and more resistant to thermal shock and chipping than standard earthenware or stoneware, which is why Steelite backs this range with a lifetime edge chip warranty — a reasonable indicator of how the ware is expected to perform under daily commercial service. The platters are oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe, so they can move between prep, service, and the wash cycle without special handling.
Practical points worth considering:
- Suitable for oven, microwave, and dishwasher use in commercial settings
- Alumina vitrified ceramic offers good resistance to chipping and thermal shock
- Glaze variation between pieces gives a handmade aesthetic on the pass
- Rectangular format works well for sharing plates and structured plating
- Supplied in packs of six, suited to incremental stock building
This platter suits casual dining, café, and speciality restaurant environments where a rustic or artisan aesthetic is part of the room's identity. It is less suited to formal fine dining where a cleaner, more uniform presentation style is expected. For operators running high covers with frequent wash cycles, the durability credentials of the Craft range hold up well — though as with any decorated ceramic, consistent care with commercial detergents will help maintain the glaze over time.
If you are building a new table setting or extending an existing one and want to talk through quantities or how this range fits alongside other pieces in the Craft collection, we are happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The alumina vitrified ceramic body is considerably more robust than standard earthenware, and Steelite's lifetime edge chip warranty reflects the expectation that these pieces will perform reliably in busy commercial environments. That said, as with any ceramic, consistent handling practices on the pass and in the wash will extend the life of the glaze finish.
- The variation is intentional and part of the design concept — the Craft range is produced to replicate the character of hand-applied glazes, so no two pieces will be identical. For operators building a cohesive table setting, this works well in casual dining and artisan-style venues, though it may not suit environments where strict uniformity across covers is a priority.
- A common working rule is to hold three times your cover count to allow for platters in service, on the pass, and in the wash cycle simultaneously. Platters in active use tend to have a higher attrition rate than plates, so building in a reasonable buffer from the outset is worth considering. If you are unsure of the right quantity for your operation, we are happy to talk it through.
