Steelite Willow Mid Rim Plate 300mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Willow Mid Rim Plate is a 300mm round plate from Steelite's Willow range, finished with a subtly textured interwoven pattern around the rim. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it is a well-established material choice for commercial tableware — harder and more chip-resistant than standard porcelain, with good resistance to thermal shock from dishwasher cycles and handling in busy service environments.

In practice, the 300mm diameter makes this a suitable main course plate for restaurant, hotel, and events catering. The mid rim profile gives chefs a clear presentation area without the deep well of a coupe style, and the understated rim pattern adds visual interest without competing with plated food. Alumina vitrified ceramic holds up reliably under the repeated mechanical and thermal stress of high-volume covers — it is a practical material choice rather than a decorative one.

Key operational characteristics of this plate:

• Thermal shock resistant — handles repeated dishwasher cycling without crazing
• Stain resistant glaze reduces marking from sauces and fats over time
• Oven, microwave, and freezer safe for flexible service and prep use
• Consistent weight and profile supports stable stacking in service and storage
• Sold in packs of 12, suited to building or topping up a working cover set

These plates are best suited to restaurants, hotels, and event caterers looking for a durable, presentation-friendly main course plate with a degree of surface detail. They are not a budget line, so they are more appropriate where longevity and appearance both matter. If you are covering very high-turnover or canteen-style service where breakage rates are a primary concern, it is worth discussing whether the specification is the right match for that environment.

If you have questions about quantities, mix-and-match options within the Willow range, or how this plate fits alongside other tableware you are sourcing, the team is happy to help you work through it.
