Steelite Vesuvius Coupe Plates Lapis 230mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Vesuvius Lapis coupe plate is a 230mm porcelain plate finished in a deep reactive glaze. Reactive glazing means each piece carries slight natural variation in tone and depth, so no two plates are identical — a characteristic that suits contemporary and independently minded dining environments where a more considered table presentation is part of the experience.

At 580g per plate, the Vesuvius range sits at a practical weight for busy front-of-house use — substantial enough to feel quality in the hand without being tiring for service staff during extended covers. Porcelain construction gives a durable, chip-resistant platform suited to the handling volumes of a working restaurant environment. The coupe profile, with its shallow, rimless shape, works well for composed plating where the food is meant to be the focus.

A few practical points worth considering for service use:

• Reactive glaze produces natural variation between pieces — consistent enough for a matched set, characterful enough to feel handcrafted
• Porcelain construction supports regular commercial dishwasher cycles
• The 230mm diameter suits starter and dessert courses, or as a side plate in more generous cover formats
• Lapis sits alongside Amber and Emerald in the Vesuvius range, allowing mixed-glaze table settings if preferred
• Supplied in a pack of 12, sized for a single station or as a top-up quantity

The Lapis colourway — a rich, layered blue — works particularly well against natural linen, dark slate, and warm timber table surfaces. It's worth considering how it sits alongside your existing crockery and serviceware before committing to a full order.
