Steelite Rio Pink Slimline Plates 230mm (Pack of 24)

The Steelite Rio Pink slimline plate is a 230mm (9") flatware piece from Steelite's Rio range, sold in a pack of 24. Each plate features a hand-applied colour wash finish in pink, giving a relaxed, informal aesthetic that works well in bistro, café, and casual dining settings. The slimline profile keeps the presentation clean without adding unnecessary bulk to the table.

Rio plates are made from alumina vitrified ceramic, which is a durable, dense body type well suited to the demands of commercial foodservice. In day-to-day service this translates to good resistance to thermal shock — plates can move from a warming environment to table service without the cracking or crazing that can affect lower-grade ceramics over time. The glaze is designed to hold up against repeated warewashing cycles, which is a practical requirement in any busy operation running multiple covers.

A few operational points worth considering:

• Hand-applied colour wash means minor variation between pieces — consistent with the range's character, but worth bearing in mind for formal settings where uniformity is critical
• Rio colours can be mixed across the range, useful for venues that want a varied but coordinated table presentation
• The lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite reflects confidence in the durability of the body, though normal care and handling procedures should still be observed
• Pack of 24 suits a mid-sized section; higher-volume sites running more covers may want to consider ordering in multiples

This plate is well suited to casual dining restaurants, cafés, hotel brasseries, and any venue looking to introduce a considered splash of colour without committing to a formal fine-dining aesthetic. If you're building out a full cover count or matching across a broader tabletop scheme, the team are happy to help work through quantities and colour combinations.
