Product Description
The Steelite Creations Glass Venus Plate is a clear glass side or starter plate designed for front-of-house tabletop presentation. At 170mm, it sits comfortably in the side plate category and is part of Steelite's Creations Glass range, which offers an alternative to conventional porcelain with a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Plates are sold in packs of twelve.
Glass tableware of this type tends to work well in settings where visual presentation carries weight — tasting menus, sharing plates, or starter courses where the food itself benefits from a clear, unobtrusive base. The translucent material allows sauces, garnishes and plating detail to read clearly without the visual weight of a coloured or patterned plate.
From a practical standpoint, the plates are rated for oven, microwave and dishwasher use, which simplifies handling during service and reduces the need for separate handling procedures. At 230g per plate, they are light enough for general front-of-house use without feeling insubstantial.
- Suitable for oven, microwave and dishwasher use
- Clear glass construction keeps plating detail visible
- Consistent pack sizing supports easy stock management
- Well suited to starter, side or sharing plate applications
It is worth noting that glass tableware requires more careful handling in high-volume, fast-turnaround environments than porcelain equivalents. Chip and breakage rates may be higher under heavy service pressure, and this is a consideration when calculating cover-to-plate ratios and replacement stock.
If you are unsure whether this format suits your cover style or service volume, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Glass tableware can work well in table service environments where care is taken during handling and washing. In very high-turnover operations with fast kitchen-to-table cycles, breakage rates tend to be higher than with porcelain, so it is worth factoring in a slightly larger stock buffer when ordering for busy sites.
- Yes, the Venus plates are rated dishwasher safe, which makes them compatible with standard commercial glasswasher and dishwasher cycles. As with all glass tableware, avoid sudden temperature extremes and ensure the rack type provides adequate support to reduce the risk of chipping.
- The Venus plate is part of the broader Steelite Creations Glass collection, which includes a number of complementary shapes and formats. If you are looking to build a coordinated tabletop across multiple plate sizes or serving pieces, it is worth discussing the full range to ensure the shapes work together for your intended cover style.
