Product Description
The Steelite Craft White Coupe Plate is a 230mm all-purpose plate produced in alumina vitrified ceramic, a material well regarded in commercial tableware for its strength and resistance to the stresses of daily professional service. The coupe profile — a shallow, rimless shape — gives a clean, contemporary look that works across a wide range of food styles and plating presentations.
What distinguishes the Craft range is that each piece carries subtle tonal variations and surface characteristics that arise naturally during kiln firing. No two plates are identical, which gives the range a handmade quality without the fragility or inconsistency that genuine handmade ware can introduce in a busy operation. In practice, this means you get a distinctive table setting that holds up to the demands of covers service.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a practical choice for high-turnover environments. It is denser and more chip-resistant than standard vitrified china, and it handles repeated dishwasher cycling without significant glaze degradation over time. The plates are also oven, microwave, and freezer safe, which suits operations where plated dishes may be held or regenerated.
- Kiln-fired natural variation gives a distinctive, handcrafted aesthetic
- Alumina vitrified construction offers good chip resistance under daily use
- Rimless coupe profile suits modern plating styles across food categories
- Compatible with oven, microwave, freezer, and commercial dishwasher use
- Pack of 24 suits initial cover sets or top-up stock for existing ranges
The 230mm diameter is a versatile size — commonly used as a starter or side plate, and suitable as a main plate for lighter dishes or smaller portions. Operations running larger mains may find a bigger plate more appropriate for presentation purposes. The pack quantity of 24 is practical for smaller openings or supplementing an existing set, though higher-volume restaurants may need multiple packs to establish a full cover count.
If you are building a full table setting or matching this plate with other pieces from the Craft White range, our team is happy to help you work through quantities and configurations before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The 230mm plate works well for starters, sides, and lighter mains, but operators serving larger portions or dishes with substantial garnishes often find a 270mm or 280mm plate gives more practical working space. It depends on your menu style and how you intend to plate — if you are unsure, it is worth discussing your cover format before committing to a full stock order.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is a step up from standard vitrified china in terms of density and chip resistance, which is why it is commonly specified for busy restaurant and hotel environments. It is not indestructible, but it generally performs well through repeated service and commercial dishwasher cycles when handled correctly. The glaze is designed to resist crazing and fading over time.
- The Craft range is intentionally designed so that natural kiln variation is part of the aesthetic, meaning some difference between pieces is expected and by design rather than a quality issue. That said, if you are topping up an existing set, it is worth noting that batch-to-batch tonal differences can be slightly more pronounced than in a standard glazed range. For large or phased orders, ordering in one go where possible will give the most consistent result.
