Product Description
The Steelite Willow Mid Rim Plate is a 202.5mm all-purpose plate from Steelite's Willow range, finished with a raised textured pattern beneath a gloss glaze. It is a mid-rim design, meaning it offers a modest raised border around a generous flat well — a practical format for starters, desserts, and lighter main courses across a wide range of dining styles.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these plates are built to perform under the repeated demands of commercial dishwashing cycles and busy pass-side stacking. Alumina enrichment is a recognised approach in commercial tableware for improving chip resistance and durability, which matters in any operation where crockery is turned around quickly between covers. The gloss glaze finish holds its appearance well in day-to-day service and wipes clean without retaining colour from sauces or dressings.
At 202.5mm, this plate sits in a versatile mid-size bracket — large enough to present a composed starter or dessert with proper spacing, compact enough to work across smaller table settings or tray service. Supplied in a pack of 24, the quantity is well suited to operations needing to stock a consistent number of covers or top up an existing set. Practical points worth noting for buyers:
- Alumina vitrified ceramic construction for improved chip resistance in daily service
- Gloss glaze finish that reflects light and cleans easily after service
- Mid-rim format suits starters, desserts, and lighter plates
- 202.5mm diameter — a flexible size across varied dining formats
- Supplied in a pack of 24, supporting consistent cover counts
For operations running high cover volumes with frequent crockery turnover, it is worth considering whether a heavier or thicker-profile plate from the wider Steelite range would better suit the pace of service. Equally, smaller or larger rim plate options exist within the Willow collection if a different diameter fits your plating style more closely.
If you are unsure whether this size and format fits your menu presentation or cover count, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The 202.5mm diameter works well for starters, desserts, and lighter main courses, but it is on the smaller side for a full main plate in most restaurant settings. If your main course presentations require more surface area for garnish and sauce work, a larger diameter plate from the Willow range may serve you better.
- Alumina enrichment increases the density and hardness of the ceramic body, which improves resistance to chipping at the rim — the point most vulnerable to damage during stacking and dishwashing. It is a well-established material choice for commercial tableware where plates are handled at volume and cycled through dishwashers multiple times per day.
- Twenty-four pieces covers a relatively modest service set and may suit smaller restaurants, private dining rooms, or operations building a starter or dessert-specific plate stock. Higher-volume operations or those with larger cover counts should consider ordering multiple packs to maintain an adequate buffer for breakages and dishwasher turnaround time.
