Steelite Spyro Oval Plates 280mm White (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Spyro oval plate is a mid-sized oval flatware piece from Steelite's award-winning Spyro range. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, each plate features a subtle swirling embossed pattern on the rim — a decorative detail achieved through traditional finishing techniques that gives the range a distinctive, refined appearance without veering into fuss. The 280mm size sits comfortably in the mid-range for oval plates, appropriate for main-course presentations, sharing boards, and plated starter portions depending on the style of service.

In a busy restaurant or banqueting environment, durability is as important as aesthetics. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-regarded material in professional catering for its resistance to thermal shock and staining, and its ability to hold up under daily dishwasher cycles without the glaze deteriorating quickly. The Spyro range carries a lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite, which reflects genuine confidence in the construction rather than being a purely marketing claim — edge chipping is one of the more common failure points in heavily used crockery, and cover against it has real operational value.

• Thermal shock resistance supports consistent use across hot kitchens and commercial dishwashers
• Stain-resistant glaze helps maintain presentation quality over time
• Embossed swirl detail adds visual character without affecting plating surface
• Robust construction suited to high-frequency table service environments
• Classic white finish integrates with most tableware and linen schemes

This is a plate well suited to fine dining, hotel restaurants, banqueting operations, and any venue where presentation standards are high but the crockery still needs to withstand demanding daily use. The 280mm format is a practical size — large enough for composed main-course plates but not so oversized as to be unwieldy for front-of-house staff during busy service. For operators running very high covers or needing a broader range of Spyro pieces, it is worth discussing your full tableware requirements to ensure consistency across the range.
