Product Description
The Steelite Spyro is a white alumina vitrified ceramic plate finished with a subtle swirling embossed detail. At 165mm, it works well as a side plate, bread plate, or starter plate depending on the style of service. The embossed pattern is part of the forming process rather than an applied decoration, which means it holds up under repeated professional use without fading or wearing away.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-regarded material in professional tableware. It offers meaningful resistance to thermal shock — relevant when plates move between hot pass and cooler service environments — and the glaze is hardwearing enough to cope with commercial dishwashing cycles over extended periods. The lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite reflects confidence in how the body and glaze perform under normal service conditions.
From an operational standpoint, the Spyro range is commonly used across banqueting, brasserie, and fine dining settings where presentation matters but robustness cannot be compromised. Practical considerations worth noting:
- Supplied in packs of 36 — useful for building adequate cover counts without over-ordering
- White glaze suits most plating styles and works alongside coloured accompaniments
- Consistent sizing supports efficient stacking and storage in tight plate stores
- Dishwasher-safe construction reduces handling time between service periods
- The embossed detail adds visual interest without affecting how food sits on the plate
This size is well suited to operations running multi-course menus where a smaller accompaniment plate is needed alongside larger dinner plates. For venues requiring larger formats for main course covers, the Spyro range includes bigger plate sizes that follow the same design language.
If you are specifying tableware across a new opening or a full cover replacement, the team are happy to talk through quantities, formats, and how the Spyro fits alongside other ranges in your service.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A useful rule of thumb is to hold two to three times your seated cover count in each plate size to allow for dishwash turnaround during service. For a 40-cover restaurant, one pack of 36 would likely fall short; two packs gives a more workable buffer, particularly across multi-sitting services.
- Yes — the alumina vitrified ceramic construction and hardwearing glaze make it a practical choice for banqueting environments where plates are handled frequently and put through commercial dishwashers multiple times per service. The lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite reflects its suitability for demanding professional use.
- The embossing is relatively subtle and sits across the rim area, so it generally does not interfere with how food is placed on the plate surface itself. It works well with classical plating styles and adds visual texture that can complement both simple and elaborate presentations.
