Product Description
The Steelite Spyro is a 250mm (10") round plate finished in white alumina vitrified ceramic. It carries a subtle swirling embossed detail that gives it a refined, contemporary character without being overtly decorative. Supplied in packs of 24, it is well suited to operations that need both presentational consistency and practical durability across a busy dining floor.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-established material choice for professional tableware. It is notably harder and denser than standard porcelain, which translates directly to better resistance against the daily rigours of commercial service — repeated loading into rack washers, the inevitable contact between stacked plates in transit, and the thermal cycling between hot pass and ambient table. The glaze is robust and stain-resistant, which matters in environments where sauces and reduction-heavy dishes are plated regularly.
In practical terms, the Spyro range offers operators a few clear advantages:
- Lifetime edge chip warranty provides long-term cost confidence for front-of-house buyers
- Stain-resistant glaze supports consistent presentation and easier warewashing
- Thermal shock resistance suits environments moving plates from heated gantries to table service
- The embossed detail adds visual interest without interfering with plating or portion placement
- Pack quantity of 24 aligns with standard cover counts for restaurant and banqueting setups
No special storage or handling requirements beyond standard commercial plate racking. The 250mm diameter is a versatile main course size and works across a range of cuisine styles. Operations with very high cover counts or where breakage rates are a particular concern may find value in considering a heavier-duty alternative from the broader Steelite range.
The Spyro is most at home in restaurants, boutique hotels, and banqueting environments where presentation is taken seriously but operational durability cannot be compromised. It is less likely to be the right choice for high-turnover casual dining where a plainer, more utilitarian plate would serve just as well at lower cost.
If you are specifying tableware across multiple covers or want to discuss how the Spyro fits within a broader table setting, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The alumina vitrified ceramic construction and robust glaze are well suited to the thermal and mechanical demands of commercial warewashing. The material's density and the stain-resistant glaze help it hold up to repeated high-temperature wash cycles without significant dulling or surface degradation.
- Steelite's lifetime edge chip warranty covers chipping to the rim of the plate under normal commercial use conditions. It is one of the more practical warranty commitments available in professional tableware and is worth factoring into the total cost of ownership, particularly for operations that run high cover volumes.
- A 250mm plate is a well-established main course size in commercial settings and works across a broad range of cuisines, from classic European to contemporary plated desserts used as a starter format. If your menu runs to particularly generous portion sizes or you prefer a more generous negative space aesthetic, it is worth considering whether a larger diameter would better suit your style of service.
