Steelite Rio Green Slimline Plates 157mm (Pack of 36)

The Steelite Rio range is a hand-finished tableware collection designed for operators who want to introduce colour to their table settings without sacrificing the durability expected of commercial crockery. Each plate carries a hand-applied colour wash that gives Rio its characteristic informal, artisan feel — making it a practical choice for bistros, cafés, and casual dining environments where the table presentation is part of the overall experience.

Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, Rio plates are built to cope with the daily pressures of busy service. The material offers good resistance to thermal shock, which matters in kitchens where plates move quickly between storage, pass, and table. The glaze is hardwearing and holds up well under commercial dishwasher cycles, and the lifetime edge chip warranty reflects the confidence Steelite place in the durability of the range.

From an operational standpoint, the Rio Green colourway works well as a standalone palette or mixed with other Rio colours to create a varied, relaxed table aesthetic. A few practical points worth considering:

• Hand-applied finish means minor variation between pieces — consistent with the range's character
• Alumina vitrified ceramic body resists thermal shock during busy service
• Lifetime edge chip warranty provides reassurance for high-turnover covers
• Colour can be mixed across the Rio range for a varied table setting
• Sold in packs of 36, suited to medium-volume cover counts

The 157mm slimline format works well as a side plate, bread plate, or for smaller starter portions. It is worth considering whether a larger plate from the Rio range would better suit your main course requirements, and whether the pack quantity aligns with your cover count and breakage allowance.

If you are building a full table setting around the Rio collection or want to discuss colour combinations and quantities, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
