Product Description
The Steelite Vesuvius Rectangle in Lapis is a large-format porcelain plate finished with a reactive glaze that produces natural tonal variation across the surface. Each piece carries a slightly different character, which is inherent to the reactive glaze process rather than a defect. The Lapis colourway sits in the blue spectrum and is designed to contrast or complement the Amber and Emerald glazes within the same Vesuvius collection, allowing front-of-house teams to mix tones deliberately across a table setting.
At 330 x 190mm, this is a rectangular plate with a generous footprint, well suited to modern plating styles where the food is presented as a composition rather than centred on a round base. The format works well for starter and main course plates in contemporary restaurant environments, tasting menus, and event catering where visual impact on the pass matters. Being porcelain, the plates hold temperature reasonably well during service and are robust enough for regular dishwasher cycles in a commercial environment.
- Reactive glaze produces natural tonal variation across each individual piece
- Large rectangular format suits contemporary and composed plating styles
- Porcelain construction withstands regular commercial dishwasher use
- Part of the Vesuvius collection — coordinates with Amber and Emerald glazes
- Supplied in packs of six for straightforward stock management
These plates are not a universal workhorse item. The reactive glaze finish requires some care — harsh abrasive cleaners or stacking without consideration can mark the surface over time. They are best suited to table service environments rather than high-turnover canteen or cafeteria settings. If your operation demands very high plate volumes, it is worth considering whether the glaze finish aligns with your cleaning and handling processes before committing to quantity.
If you are building a tableware scheme around the Vesuvius collection or want to discuss quantities and mix-and-match options across the range, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the Vesuvius range is designed so that the Lapis, Amber and Emerald glazes complement and contrast with one another deliberately. Many operators use a mix of colourways across a table setting or across courses to create a cohesive but varied look. If you are planning a mixed scheme, it is worth ordering a sample piece first to see how the tones work together under your dining room lighting.
- Reactive-glaze porcelain is durable and suitable for regular commercial dishwasher use, but the finish is more sensitive to abrasive cleaning products and careless stacking than a plain white plate. In high-volume environments where plates are handled quickly and stacked in bulk, some surface marking is possible over time. These plates perform best in table service settings where handling is a little more considered.
- At 330 x 190mm, this is a generously sized plate that works well for both starter and main course presentations, particularly with contemporary plating styles that use the plate as a canvas rather than just a base. It is less suited to traditional round-plate service formats, so it is worth considering whether the rectangular shape fits your menu style and pass setup before ordering in volume.
