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

The Steelite Rio range is a hand-colour-washed tableware collection designed to introduce informal warmth and visual character to a dining setting. These 230mm slimline plates carry a yellow wash finish applied during manufacture, giving each piece a slightly individual, artisan quality that works well in bistro, café, and casual dining environments. The slimline profile keeps the plate light in the hand and neat on the table without reducing the usable food surface.

In practice, Rio plates are well suited to high-turnover covers. The alumina vitrified ceramic construction gives good resistance to the mechanical stresses of daily commercial use — repeated stacking, rack washing, and the thermal cycling that comes with moving crockery between hot pass and cold storage. Steelite backs this with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which reflects confidence in the durability of the glaze and body under normal service conditions.

From an operational standpoint, the Rio Yellow finish is useful for operators who want to differentiate courses, sections, or menus through colour. The Rio palette is designed to mix and match, so yellow plates can sit alongside other Rio colours within the same service without appearing mismatched. Key practical points worth noting:

• Hand-applied colour wash gives each plate a consistent but characterful appearance
• Alumina vitrified ceramic body resists thermal shock during normal service cycles
• Lifetime edge chip warranty provides some reassurance on long-term replacement cost
• Slimline profile stacks efficiently, keeping storage and transport manageable
• Colour coordinates with other pieces across the Rio range

These plates require no special handling beyond standard commercial dishwasher use. There are no installation or utility considerations. The pack of 24 is a practical quantity for smaller operations or as a colour accent within a larger mixed cover count; operators running high-volume services or multiple sittings may want to consider holding additional stock to allow for breakages over time.

Rio Yellow plates are a practical choice for independent bistros, boutique hotels, café bars, and any operator looking to add colour to a tablescape without committing to heavily decorative crockery. If you are building a full cover count or want to discuss mixing Rio colours across a service, the team is happy to talk through quantities and combinations before you order.
