Product Description
The Steelite Vesuvius Lapis coupe plate is a 300mm porcelain plate finished in a deep blue reactive glaze. Reactive glazing means each piece carries subtle natural variation in tone and surface texture — no two plates are identical, which gives the range a handcrafted quality without the fragility or inconsistency associated with artisan ceramics. The Lapis colourway sits alongside Amber and Emerald within the Vesuvius collection, and the three glazes are designed to work together or independently across a table setting.
In service, coupe plates at this diameter are a practical workhorse format — large enough for main courses and composed dishes, and the rimless profile gives chefs a clean, uninterrupted surface for plating. The porcelain construction handles the demands of a busy kitchen environment: commercial dishwasher cycles, stacking, and the general handling that comes with high-cover services. The weight of each plate — just under a kilogram — gives a solid, considered feel in the hand without being unwieldy for front-of-house staff to carry.
- Reactive glaze provides natural surface variation that adds visual interest to table covers
- Rimless coupe format offers maximum usable plating surface
- Porcelain construction is suited to commercial dishwasher use
- Lapis colourway coordinates with the wider Vesuvius Amber and Emerald range
- Supplied in packs of 12, practical for building or supplementing existing cover sets
This plate is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and brasseries where the tableware is expected to contribute to the overall aesthetic. The format and size work equally well for à la carte service and set-menu environments. Sites with very high cover turnover or where breakage rates are a primary concern may want to consider whether a more neutral-coloured range offers simpler stock management across multiple sittings.
If you are building a full cover set or mixing across the Vesuvius collection, we are happy to talk through quantities and how the colourways work together in practice — feel free to get in touch before placing your order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Steelite's porcelain is produced for commercial foodservice use and is designed to withstand regular high-temperature dishwasher cycles. The reactive glaze is fired into the surface rather than applied as a coating, so it does not lift or fade in the way some decorative finishes can. That said, as with all coloured glazeware, avoiding harsh abrasive detergents will help preserve the surface over time.
- Yes — the Vesuvius collection is designed with that flexibility in mind. The three glazes share the same form and dimensions, so they stack and store together consistently and can be mixed across covers or courses without mismatched profiles. How prominently you mix them is largely a matter of the look you want to achieve.
- 300mm is a well-established main course diameter in contemporary restaurant settings, giving enough surface area for composed dishes without overwhelming a standard table cover. If your menu runs to very large sharing plates or you are serving American-style portions, a larger format may be worth considering. For starter or dessert courses, a smaller plate from within the Vesuvius range would typically be more appropriate.
