Steelite Willow Azure Gourmet Coupe Plates Blue 280mm (Pack of 6)

The Steelite Willow Azure Gourmet Coupe Plate is a 280mm porcelain plate from Steelite's Willow Azure range, finished in a distinctive blue with an embossed pattern around the rim. The coupe profile — a shallow, rimless shape with a broad, flat well — gives chefs a clean canvas for plating, allowing the food to sit centrally without the visual interruption of a traditional rim.

Steelite manufacture these plates using an alumina-enriched porcelain body, which improves chip resistance compared with standard earthenware or basic porcelain. In a busy restaurant or hotel environment, where plates cycle through service, stacking, dishwashing, and handling repeatedly each shift, that additional durability is a practical consideration rather than a marketing point. The plates are dishwasher safe and, at 830g each, have a reassuring weight that conveys quality to the diner without being cumbersome for front-of-house staff to handle during service.

The blue glaze and embossed pattern make the Willow Azure range a considered choice for operators whose tableware forms part of the dining experience — suitable for fine dining, boutique hotels, or any establishment where presentation is taken seriously. The 280mm diameter sits at a versatile size, appropriate for main course plating in most service formats.

A few practical points worth noting: the decorative blue finish means these plates are better suited to operations with a consistent aesthetic rather than an all-purpose mixed crockery environment. As with all decorated Steelite pieces, care should be taken to follow recommended dishwasher temperatures to preserve the finish over time. Plates are supplied in packs of six.
