Product Description
The Steelite Rio Yellow soup plate is a 215mm hand-coloured piece from Steelite's Rio range, produced in alumina vitrified ceramic and sold in packs of 24. The colour wash is applied by hand, giving each piece a subtly individual character that suits relaxed, informal dining settings. Rio is available across a palette of colours, which can be combined on the same table to create a varied, bistro-style presentation without coordinating separate ranges.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-regarded choice for commercial foodservice. It offers good resistance to thermal shock — relevant in kitchens where crockery moves between dishwashers, hot pass counters, and cold storage in quick succession. The glaze is designed to hold up under repeated commercial washing cycles, maintaining its finish over time rather than dulling quickly under heavy use. Steelite backs this with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which is a practical indicator of the manufacturer's confidence in the durability of the body.
From an operational standpoint, the Rio range suits:
- Casual dining restaurants, bistros, and brasseries looking for informal tableware with character
- Hotels and contract catering operations wanting a reliable, dishwasher-safe everyday plate
- Cafés and delis where relaxed presentation is part of the offer
- Operators who want to mix colours across a table or section without buying into a rigid set
The hand-applied colour wash does mean there will be natural variation between pieces, which is part of the aesthetic. Operators who prefer a uniform, precision finish may find a more standardised glaze range better suited to their front-of-house requirements. The 24-piece pack quantity is practical for most restaurant and café operations, aligning with typical cover counts per section.
If you are specifying tableware across multiple covers or matching Rio pieces to an existing colour selection, it is worth talking through quantities and mix options before placing an order — we are happy to help with that.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — mixing colours within the Rio range is a common approach in bistro and casual dining settings. The hand-applied colour wash across the range is designed with this in mind, so pieces in different colours sit comfortably alongside each other without looking mismatched.
- The Rio glaze is designed for commercial use and is suitable for repeated dishwasher cycles at standard commercial temperatures. As with any hand-finished product, some very gradual variation over extended heavy use is possible, but the alumina vitrified ceramic body and commercial glaze are built to perform in high-throughput kitchen conditions.
- A pack of 24 suits many restaurant sections and café operations. If you are equipping a larger venue or specifying across multiple sections, it is worth calculating your full cover count and factoring in breakage reserves before ordering — we can help you work through the right quantities if you are unsure.
