Product Description
The Steelite Rio range is a collection of hand-finished tableware designed to bring informal, relaxed character to a dining setting. Each piece carries a hand-applied colour wash that gives Rio its distinctive, slightly organic appearance — no two pieces are entirely identical, which contributes to the bistro aesthetic the range is known for. This listing covers the 255mm slimline plate in Pink, supplied in a pack of 24.
In day-to-day service, the alumina vitrified ceramic construction handles the demands of a working kitchen well. The material offers good resistance to thermal shock, which matters in environments where plates move between hot pass lamps, cold prep areas, and commercial dishwashers repeatedly across a service. The glaze is durable and holds up to regular machine washing without significant dulling over time.
- Hand-applied colour wash gives each plate a natural, individual finish
- Thermal shock resistance supports the demands of commercial service cycles
- Alumina vitrified ceramic provides reliable durability under daily use
- Slimline profile stacks efficiently, reducing storage footprint
- Lifetime edge chip warranty offers long-term reassurance on a working plate
Rio is particularly well suited to casual dining restaurants, bistros, cafés, and hotel brasseries where operators want a point of visual difference without committing to fine china pricing. The Pink colourway works well as a standalone choice or mixed with other Rio colours to vary the look across covers. For very high-volume contract catering or canteen environments where throughput is the primary concern, a more utility-focused range may be worth considering instead.
If you are building a new table scheme or want to discuss how Rio fits alongside other Steelite ranges in your current setup, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the Rio range is designed with mixing in mind. Operators commonly combine two or three colourways across a cover to create a relaxed, eclectic look. The hand-applied finish means slight tonal variation exists within a single colour, which adds to rather than detracts from that aesthetic.
- The colour wash is applied beneath the glaze rather than on top of it, which means it is protected through normal commercial dishwashing. The alumina vitrified ceramic body and durable glaze are both suited to the temperature and chemical cycles used in commercial rack and hood dishwashers.
- A 255mm plate sits at the smaller end of a standard main course size and works well for lighter dishes, starter portions served as mains, or cafés with plated food rather than generous restaurant portions. For more substantial plating, operators often look at a 280–290mm size within the same range.
