Steelite Craft White Coupe Plate 253mm (Pack of 24)

The Steelite Craft White Coupe Plate is a 253mm round plate made from alumina vitrified ceramic, supplied in a pack of 24. The coupe profile — a shallow, rimless shape — presents food cleanly and gives chefs a broad, uninterrupted surface to plate on. Each piece carries the natural variation produced during the kiln-firing process, meaning no two plates are identical. The effect is deliberate: Steelite designed the Craft range so that the finish is shaped by the firing environment rather than applied uniformly, giving the tableware a handmade character suited to contemporary dining.

In a busy service environment, durability is the primary consideration with any tableware. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-established material in professional catering for good reason — it fires at high temperature, producing a dense, low-porosity body that is more resistant to chipping and thermal shock than standard vitrified china. These plates are rated for oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher use, which supports efficient back-of-house workflows without restrictions on how the plates move through service and regeneration cycles.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Dishwasher-safe construction handles high-cycle throughput in a commercial glasswasher or rack conveyor
• Oven and microwave compatibility supports flexible plating and regeneration workflows
• Natural kiln variation adds visual distinctiveness without the fragility of hand-decorated pieces
• Pack quantity of 24 provides a practical starting point for a single section's cover count
• Consistent 253mm diameter simplifies stacking, storage, and service organisation

One practical consideration: because the reactive glaze finish varies between pieces, colour and surface texture will not be perfectly uniform across a pack. For most operators this is the intended aesthetic, but it is worth bearing in mind if your concept requires very precise plate matching across a large cover count.

The Craft White range suits restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining rooms where a natural, tactile aesthetic fits the offer. The 253mm size works well as a main course plate across most styles of service. For operations requiring a larger main plate, or smaller side and starter formats, other sizes within the Craft White range are available.
