Steelite Vesuvius Coupe Plates Amber 280mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Vesuvius range is a collection of porcelain tableware finished in reactive glazes — Amber, Lapis, and Emerald. Each piece carries a naturally varied surface tone produced during firing, meaning no two plates are identical. The Amber colourway draws warm earthy tones that shift subtly across the glaze, providing a distinctive backdrop without competing with the food presented on it.

The 280mm coupe profile is a practical all-rounder in a restaurant setting. The wide, shallow bowl and clean rim-free edge give chefs generous plating space, and the format works well across starter, main, and sharing plates depending on portion style. At this diameter, the plate suits table covers where presentation is important but space is still a consideration.

Porcelain at this specification is well suited to the demands of a busy operation. The material handles repeated dishwasher cycles without significant glaze degradation, and the Vesuvius reactive finish tends to age gracefully rather than showing wear as a flat-glaze plate might. Practical points worth noting:

• Reactive glaze produces natural variation — intentional, not a quality defect
• Coupe profile suits modern plating styles and stacks efficiently for storage
• Porcelain construction handles commercial dishwasher temperatures reliably
• Sold in packs of 12, which suits initial cover builds or top-up orders

For smaller operations or pop-up concepts, a single pack of 12 may be sufficient to open. Higher-volume restaurants or those running multiple sittings each service will typically want to hold two to three packs per cover to allow for breakage and dishwasher turnaround without running short mid-service.

If you are building a full table setting around the Vesuvius range or want guidance on cover quantities for your service volume, the team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.
