Product Description
The Steelite Vesuvius Square plate in Amber is a 270mm porcelain plate finished with a reactive glaze that produces natural variation in colour and tone across each piece. Reactive glazes behave differently in the kiln, meaning no two plates are identical — the amber colouring shifts subtly between pieces, giving the range an organic, handcrafted quality that sits well on a laid table without looking contrived.
This size works well as a main course plate in most table service settings. At 270mm it offers a practical surface area for plated dishes without overwhelming a standard table cover, and the square format suits contemporary plating styles where chefs want to control negative space and presentation angles. The porcelain construction is robust enough for regular commercial service, and the glaze holds up well to the repeated thermal cycling of professional dishwashing.
The Amber glaze is one of three colourways in the Vesuvius range — alongside Lapis and Emerald — which can be used individually or mixed across a table setting for a considered, eclectic look. This flexibility makes the range a useful tool for operators who want table presentation to reflect a distinct identity without resorting to heavily patterned or decorated ware.
- Reactive glaze gives natural colour variation between plates — adds character to table settings
- Square format supports structured, contemporary plating
- Porcelain construction handles regular commercial dishwasher cycles reliably
- Sold in packs of 12, suited to typical restaurant par quantities

Frequently Asked Questions
- Not precisely — reactive glazes are designed to vary naturally during firing, so each plate carries its own subtle shift in tone within the amber palette. This is an intentional characteristic of the range rather than a quality issue, and in practice it adds warmth and texture to a table setting. If absolute colour uniformity is important for your operation, a solid-colour glaze range may be a better fit.
- For most table service restaurants, 270mm works well as a main course plate — it gives enough surface area for a properly plated dish without dominating a standard cover. If your kitchen produces generous portions or elaborate composed dishes, you may find a larger plate size gives chefs more room to work with. It is worth considering your typical plate presentation before committing to quantity.
- Yes — the Vesuvius range is designed so that Amber, Lapis, and Emerald can be used together. Operators often mix colourways deliberately to create an eclectic table aesthetic, or use a single colour per section and vary across the dining room. If you are planning a mixed approach, it is worth discussing quantities with us to make sure you have the right par across all three colourways.
