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

The Steelite Vesuvius Lapis is a 280mm coupe plate in porcelain, sold in packs of twelve. It forms part of the Vesuvius reactive glaze collection, which also includes Amber and Emerald colourways. The Lapis finish produces a deep blue tone with natural variation across each piece — a characteristic of the reactive glaze process, where each plate emerges from the kiln with subtle differences in colour depth and texture. No two pieces are entirely identical.

In a service environment, this kind of variation is a considered design choice rather than an inconsistency. It suits menus where plate presentation is part of the dining experience, and where operators want tableware that feels distinctive without relying on printed patterns or overworked decoration. The 280mm coupe format provides a practical plating surface for main courses and sharing dishes, with a clean profile that keeps the focus on the food.

As porcelain, these plates are well suited to the demands of commercial service — resistant to chipping at the rim, dishwasher safe, and consistent in performance over repeated wash cycles. The coupe shape, with its minimal rim, is straightforward to stack and store in both front- and back-of-house environments.
