Price Match

The Steelite Performance Flora coupe plates in brown are a 153mm alumina vitrified ceramic flatware option, supplied in packs of twelve. The coupe profile — a shallow, rimless shape — presents food cleanly and works well across a range of plating styles, from simple starters to composed desserts.

Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-regarded material in commercial foodservice. It offers reliable resistance to thermal shock, which is a practical consideration in busy operations where plates move quickly between dishwashers, pass-through heaters, and cold surfaces. The brown colourway from the Flora range has a warm, earthy character that suits casual dining, bistro-style venues, and hospitality settings where a natural palette is part of the room's aesthetic.

From an operational standpoint, these plates are straightforward to work with:

  • Dishwasher safe and suited to the throughput demands of commercial warewashing cycles
  • Good thermal retention helps hold serving temperature from pass to table
  • The coupe format stacks efficiently, helping to keep storage space manageable
  • Consistent glaze finish supports a uniform presentation across covers
  • Supplied in a twelve-piece pack, practical for restocking or building cover counts

At 153mm, this is a smaller plate — appropriate for starters, side dishes, amuse-bouche, or small plates menus. It is not a main-course plate, and operators running a full à la carte service will likely need this alongside larger sizes within the Flora range. For high-volume operations with significant breakage rates, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty vitrified option would offer better long-term economy.

If you are building a table setting across multiple sizes or want to discuss which Flora pieces work together for your cover count and service style, our team is happy to help you put a practical selection together.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 153mm size suitable as a main-course plate?

At 153mm, this plate is best suited to starters, side dishes, amuse-bouche, or small plates concepts rather than main courses. Most operators use it alongside a larger plate from the Flora range to cover the full menu. If you are planning a complete table setting, it is worth mapping your menu against the available sizes before ordering.

How does alumina vitrified ceramic perform in a high-volume operation?

Alumina vitrified ceramic is a standard material in commercial tableware and performs reliably through repeated dishwasher cycles and the thermal demands of a busy pass. It handles thermal shock better than standard earthenware, which reduces the risk of cracking when plates move between hot and cold environments. That said, chip resistance is a factor in any high-throughput kitchen, and operators with significant breakage should consider whether the cover count justifies holding a larger stock of spares.

Can these plates be used in a combi oven or heated gantry?

Alumina vitrified ceramic is generally suitable for use in heated plate gantries and short-term warming applications. If you intend to use them in a combi oven or under a salamander, it is worth checking the maximum temperature guidance from Steelite before doing so, as sustained high heat can affect the glaze over time. Our team can help clarify suitability if you have a specific workflow in mind.
