Steelite Vesuvius Rectangle Plate Burnt Emerald 330x190mm Pack 12

The Steelite Vesuvius Rectangle plate is a large-format porcelain serving piece finished in a reactive Burnt Emerald glaze. Reactive glazes by nature produce subtle variation between individual pieces — no two plates will be entirely identical — which gives the range a considered, artisan character without straying into hand-thrown territory. At 330 x 190mm it is a generously proportioned oblong plate, well suited to composed starter and main course presentations, sharing dishes, or structured plating where a wide canvas is useful.

Porcelain at this weight and size performs reliably under the handling demands of a working restaurant. The Vesuvius pieces are designed to withstand regular pass-through commercial dishwasher cycles, and the reactive glaze is fired rather than applied as a surface coating, so it holds up to the abrasion that comes with stacking and daily service. That said, reactive glazes can show marking over time if stacked carelessly — using appropriate plate separators is worthwhile where storage space is tight.

From an operational standpoint, the Burnt Emerald glaze sits well against a range of food colours and works particularly effectively with pale, cream, or vibrant ingredient palettes where the contrast supports the presentation. The plate's proportions also give chefs room to use negative space deliberately, which suits tasting-menu and modern European styles of plating.

The pack quantity of 12 is a practical unit for operators building out covers or supplementing an existing Vesuvius collection. Steelite produces the Vesuvius range across three glaze colourways, so the pieces can be mixed within a table setting if that suits the restaurant's aesthetic.

If you are unsure how the Burnt Emerald glaze reads under your dining room lighting, or whether this size suits your menu format, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a quantity.
