Product Description
The Steelite Nyx round tray is a rimless ceramic plate made from alumina vitrified ceramic in a deep, consistent black. At 202.5mm in diameter, it sits comfortably within a modern sharing or plating format — large enough to carry a composed dish with room to breathe, compact enough to work across a range of cover sizes and table styles.
The black glaze provides a high-contrast backdrop that makes colour-forward plating — vibrant sauces, bright garnishes, vivid proteins — read more clearly to the diner. The effect is deliberate rather than decorative: it shifts visual attention onto the food itself. The rimless profile extends the usable surface right to the edge, giving chefs the full diameter to work with rather than a narrowed inner well.
In service, the stacking design matters as much as the aesthetic. Plates that stack cleanly reduce breakage risk during transport from pot wash and take up less shelf space during storage — practical considerations that tend to get overlooked at the point of purchase but become obvious in a busy kitchen.
- Rimless surface maximises usable plating area across the full diameter
- Deep black glaze provides strong visual contrast for plating presentation
- Stacking profile reduces breakage risk and improves storage efficiency
- Alumina vitrified ceramic offers reliable chip resistance in daily service
- Suited to sharing plates, starters, or composed main course presentations
This tray is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining operations, and hospitality venues where presentation consistency matters and tableware takes daily handling. If you are specifying across a larger operation or want guidance on quantities and complementary pieces within the Nyx range, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The alumina vitrified ceramic construction is intended for regular commercial use rather than occasional service. It offers good chip resistance for daily handling in a busy kitchen environment, though as with all ceramic tableware, following correct stacking and handling procedures will extend its working life.
- A rimless plate removes the raised border that would otherwise define and limit where a chef can plate. The full 202.5mm diameter becomes workable surface area, which suits modern plating styles where composition extends to the edge of the piece. It is worth noting this also means sauced dishes require careful handling during service.
- The Nyx range tends to be used in restaurants and hotel dining rooms where presentation is a priority and a consistent, contemporary table aesthetic matters. It is less commonly specified for high-turnover casual dining where tableware takes heavier repeated handling and a more neutral palette is preferred.
