Steelite Nyx Nordic Coupe Plate 165mm Black (Box 12)

The Steelite Nyx Nordic Coupe Plate is a 165mm rimless plate finished in a deep, consistent black glaze. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it is designed for professional table service where presentation is central to the dining experience. The coupe profile — flat, with no raised rim — gives chefs the full surface area to work with when plating.

The deep black finish is particularly effective at drawing out the natural colours of food. Vibrant garnishes, sauces, and proteins read more clearly against a dark ground than they would on white or neutral tableware, which can be a meaningful consideration when plating is a deliberate part of the guest experience. The rimless format suits structured, architectural plating styles as well as more relaxed contemporary presentations.

As a practical piece of tableware, the alumina vitrified ceramic construction offers good resistance to chipping and crazing under regular commercial use — relevant for any operation running high cover volumes and putting plates through a commercial dishwasher multiple times a day. The 165mm diameter positions this plate comfortably as a starter, amuse, or side plate, or as a main in a tasting menu format where smaller, precisely composed portions are the intention.

These plates are sold in boxes of 12, which suits initial stock builds or top-up ordering for established operations. There is no complex installation consideration — but it is worth thinking carefully about whether 165mm is the right diameter for the courses you intend to serve, and whether the visual weight of all-black tableware fits your overall table setting.

If you are building out a full tableware range or matching across multiple plate sizes and formats, it is worth a conversation before committing to volume. We are happy to talk through what works in practice.
