Product Description
The Steelite Rio range is a hand-finished tableware collection where each piece receives an individual colour wash, giving the glazed surface a natural variation that suits informal and casual dining settings. These 157mm slimline plates are produced in alumina vitrified ceramic, a material commonly specified in commercial catering for its resistance to chipping and its ability to withstand the thermal cycling that comes with regular dishwasher use and hot-plate service.
In a busy café, bistro or casual restaurant, crockery takes considerable punishment. The Rio plates hold up well under high-turnover service — the durable glaze and thermal shock resistance mean they are less likely to craze or crack when moving repeatedly between hot and cold environments. The slimline profile works well for starters, side dishes, small plates or amuse-bouche presentations, and the 157mm size is a practical choice wherever a standard side plate is needed.
A few practical points worth noting:
- Hand-applied colour wash means individual pieces show natural variation — consistent with the range's aesthetic but worth bearing in mind for very formal settings
- The yellow colourway can be mixed with other Rio colours to build a varied, mismatched table scheme
- Sold in packs of 36, which suits initial set-up quantities as well as ongoing stock replenishment
- Alumina vitrified ceramic construction supports regular commercial dishwasher cycles without rapid surface degradation
- Steelite's lifetime edge chip warranty applies to this range
These plates are well suited to bistros, cafés, hotel breakfast operations, and any venue that wants to introduce colour onto the table without committing to a fully formal china service. They are less likely to suit fine dining environments where tight uniformity of finish is expected.
If you are planning a full tableware scheme or want to discuss mixing Rio colours across a service, we are happy to help you work through the quantities and combinations before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The alumina vitrified ceramic construction is designed to withstand the thermal cycling associated with regular commercial dishwasher use. The glaze is formulated to resist crazing and surface degradation over time, which is an important consideration for high-turnover operations running multiple wash cycles per service.
- Because the colour wash is hand-applied, there will be natural variation between individual pieces — this is intentional and part of the Rio range's character. For most casual dining and bistro environments this reads as part of the aesthetic, but operators who need a very tight, uniform finish may want to consider a standard glazed range instead.
- Yes, the Rio range is designed with mixing in mind. The yellow colourway works alongside other Rio colours, allowing you to build a varied table scheme from a single collection. If you are planning a multi-colour order across a new site, it is worth speaking with us about quantities before purchasing to make sure you achieve a balanced spread across covers.
