Steelite Craft Liquorice Coupe Plates 153mm (Pack of 36)

The Steelite Craft Liquorice coupe plate is a 153mm side or starter plate finished in a reactive black colourwash glaze. Each piece is hand-decorated, which means the glaze carries natural variation from plate to plate — an intentional characteristic of the Craft range rather than a quality inconsistency. The coupe profile has no rim, giving the plate a clean, modern edge that suits contemporary plating styles.

In service, the alumina vitrified ceramic construction handles the demands of a busy cover operation well. The material is significantly denser than standard earthenware, which translates to better chip resistance during stacking, clearing, and dishwasher cycles. That durability matters when you are running 36 covers from a single pack and replacing individual pieces adds up over time.

From an operational standpoint, this plate works well where the front-of-house aesthetic is as considered as the menu. The dark reactive glaze provides strong visual contrast for lighter-coloured dishes — bread, charcuterie, amuse-bouche, petit fours — and photographs well in settings where social media presentation matters to the operator.

• Reactive hand-decorated glaze creates individual character across each piece
• Coupe profile suits modern plating without the bulk of a traditional rim
• Alumina vitrified ceramic resists chipping under regular commercial handling
• Dark colourwash provides contrast for lighter-toned food presentations
• Pack of 36 provides a practical opening stock or top-up quantity

This is a compact side or starter size, best suited to covers where a 153mm plate fits the intended course. It is not a main course plate. Steelite produces the Craft Liquorice range across several sizes and shapes, so if you are building a full table setting or need a larger format, it is worth discussing the broader range before ordering.

If you are unsure whether this size fits your plating style or want to confirm compatibility across a wider Craft Liquorice setting, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
