Steelite Rio Yellow Slimline Plates 255mm (Pack of 24)

The Steelite Rio Yellow slimline plate is a 255mm main course plate produced in alumina vitrified ceramic with a hand-applied colour wash finish. The slimline profile keeps the aesthetic light and uncluttered on the pass, while the yellow colourway gives operators a straightforward way to introduce warmth and informality to a table setting. Plates are sold in packs of 24, which suits bulk stocking across a section or a full front-of-house rollout.

Alumina vitrified ceramic is a practical choice for busy service environments. The material is denser and more resistant to thermal shock than standard vitrified china, which matters when plates are moving between a hot pass and a cool plate stack throughout a long service. The glaze is designed to hold up under repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without significant fading or surface degradation over time, and Steelite backs the range with a lifetime edge chip warranty — a reliable indicator of how the product is expected to perform in daily use.

The Rio range is commonly used in informal dining, bistro-style restaurants, café bars, and hotel all-day dining where a handcrafted, characterful look is part of the brief. Because the colour wash is hand-applied, there is a natural variation between pieces that contributes to the informal aesthetic rather than working against it. The yellow colourway can be used consistently across a cover or mixed with other Rio colours to build a more eclectic table style.

• Suitable for operators wanting colour on the table without a formal or corporate feel
• Works well in high-turnover casual dining where durability and stack stability matter
• The hand-applied finish means slight tonal variation is expected and intentional
