Product Description
The Steelite Craft Liquorice coupe plate is a large-format flatware piece produced in alumina vitrified ceramic with a reactive black glaze finish. The coupe profile — a shallow, rimless form — gives chefs a wide, open canvas for plating, and at 300mm across it suits generous main-course portions or composed sharing plates equally well.
The reactive glaze process means each plate carries its own subtle variation in tone and surface character, which works well in dining environments where a handcrafted aesthetic is part of the overall proposition. The finish reads as consistently dark across a full cover, whilst retaining enough natural variation to avoid the uniformity of standard tableware.
From an operational standpoint, alumina vitrified ceramic is a practical choice for commercial use. It is denser and more impact-resistant than standard earthenware, handles repeated dishwasher cycles reliably, and resists chipping at the rim better than softer bodies — an important consideration with a plate that will be handled at pace during service.
- Wide coupe surface suits intricate plating and generous portion sizes
- Reactive glaze finish adds visual character without requiring delicate handling
- Stackable form reduces storage footprint during service and between covers
- Alumina vitrified construction withstands regular commercial dishwashing
- Consistent dark colourway works well against light-coloured foods and garnishes
These plates are best suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and private members' clubs where presentation is a deliberate part of the guest experience. The 300mm size lends itself to à la carte mains rather than smaller starters or side dishes — if your covers run smaller, Steelite offer this design in other formats.
If you are specifying tableware across a full cover or want to discuss how the Craft Liquorice range fits your existing service style, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is produced at higher firing temperatures than standard earthenware, making it denser and better suited to the thermal and mechanical demands of commercial dishwashers. The reactive glaze is part of the fired surface rather than an applied decoration, so it will not wash off or degrade with regular cycling.
- Reactive glazes are designed to produce natural variation, so no two plates will be identical. In practice, the overall tone reads as consistently dark across a full cover, with subtle differences in surface texture and depth of colour. This works well in environments aiming for a handcrafted or artisanal aesthetic, but may not suit operators who prefer a fully uniform table.
- The 300mm coupe format is best suited to main courses or composed sharing portions where the larger surface area supports the plating style. For starters or smaller dishes, a smaller plate from the Craft Liquorice range is likely to be a better proportional fit — it is worth considering your full menu format before specifying a single size across all covers.
