Steelite Rio Green Slimline Plates 270mm (Pack of 24)

The Steelite Rio range is a hand-colour-washed tableware collection designed to bring an informal, relaxed feel to a table setting. These 270mm slimline plates carry a distinctive green wash that gives each piece a subtly individual character — consistent enough for a coordinated table but with the slight variation that comes with a hand-applied finish. They are sold in packs of 24, making them a practical quantity for most restaurant, bistro, café, or hotel dining set-ups.

Rio is manufactured in alumina vitrified ceramic, which is the material of choice for serious commercial tableware. It offers good resistance to thermal shock — relevant in any operation where plates move between dishwashers, hot passes, and cold service environments — and the vitrification process produces a dense, low-absorption body that holds up well under the routine mechanical stress of a busy service. The glaze is durable and carries a lifetime edge chip warranty, which reflects confidence in how the range performs over time in working kitchens.

From an operational standpoint, the Rio Green plates offer a few practical advantages worth considering:

• Hand-applied colour wash creates visual interest without requiring decorative crockery that is harder to replace
• The slimline profile stacks efficiently, keeping storage and mise en place manageable
• Colours within the Rio range can be mixed and matched, useful where operators want variety across covers without a disjointed look
• Alumina vitrified ceramic body is dishwasher-safe and suited to the rigours of high-cycle commercial wash programmes

These plates are well suited to bistros, casual dining restaurants, cafés, and hotel breakfast or informal dining rooms. They work particularly well where the brief is relaxed and characterful rather than fine dining formal. Operators looking for a more neutral palette will find other colourways available in the Rio range; those needing larger plate formats for main course presentations should consider the range's broader size options.

If you are specifying tableware across multiple covers or mixing pieces from different Rio colourways, the team is happy to help you work through quantities and combinations before you order.
