Product Description
The Steelite Vesuvius Rectangle in Amber is a large-format porcelain plate designed for contemporary plating and sharing presentations. Part of the wider Vesuvius collection, the Amber glaze is a reactive finish, meaning each piece carries subtle variation in tone and depth — a characteristic of the firing process rather than a defect, and one that adds visual interest to table settings.
At 330 x 190mm this is a generous rectangular plate, well suited to main course presentations, starter sharing boards, or as a base for composed dishes where chefs want horizontal space to work with. The porcelain construction gives it the durability expected in regular commercial service, and at 780g per plate it has a solid, quality feel without being impractical to handle during busy covers.
From an operational standpoint, the reactive glaze means no two plates are identical, which works in favour of independents and restaurants positioning themselves as having a considered, handcrafted aesthetic. Key practical points:
- Reactive amber glaze with natural tonal variation across each piece
- Large rectangular format suits contemporary and à la carte plating styles
- Porcelain construction suitable for regular commercial dishwasher use
- Sold in packs of 12, practical for standard cover planning
- Part of a wider collection including Lapis and Emerald glazes for a coordinated look
It is worth considering that the reactive glaze, while visually appealing, will show more variation than a standard glaze — this is intentional but worth discussing with your front-of-house team so expectations are set. The plate is not stackable to the same height as a straight-sided round, so storage space per dozen should be factored in.
This plate is best suited to independent restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining rooms looking to add character to their tableware without moving into fully bespoke territory. If your operation requires a simpler, more uniform finish, alternatives within the Steelite range may be worth considering.
If you are building a full table setting around the Vesuvius collection or matching this plate to existing pieces, the team are happy to help you work through quantities and colour combinations before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Vesuvius range uses a reactive glaze process, which means each plate will carry subtle differences in tone and finish — this is an inherent characteristic of how the glaze responds during firing, not a quality issue. Across a pack of 12 you should expect broadly similar amber tones, but with natural variation. Most operators find this adds to the appeal, though it is worth briefing front-of-house staff so there are no queries from guests.
- Yes, the porcelain construction is suited to commercial dishwasher use. As with all reactive-glazed tableware, avoiding harsh descaling chemicals directly on the glaze will help maintain the finish over time — standard commercial detergents used at the correct dosage are fine.
- This depends on your cover count, how quickly plates cycle through service and wash-up, and whether the plate will be used for multiple courses. A general starting point is two to three plates per cover for the course it is designated to, though high-volume or multi-sitting operations often hold more. If you are unsure of the right quantity for your setup, it is worth a conversation before ordering.
