Product Description
The Steelite Willow Mist Gourmet Accent Plate is a 185mm porcelain plate finished in a soft grey colourway with an embossed decorative rim. At this size it sits comfortably in the accent or side plate role — used to accompany a main course, present an amuse-bouche, or serve a smaller composed dish in a multi-course format. The embossed detailing frames the plate's well and draws the eye to the food without competing with it.
Steelite's porcelain is alumina-enriched, which gives it notably better chip resistance than standard vitrified china — a practical consideration on a busy restaurant floor where plates are handled repeatedly through each service. The grey finish also has the advantage of masking minor surface wear over time, helping plates maintain a presentable appearance across a longer service life than stark white alternatives.
- Embossed rim adds visual structure without overpowering plated food
- Alumina-enriched porcelain improves durability under regular commercial use
- Grey finish suited to contemporary and Nordic-influenced table settings
- 185mm diameter works well as a side, accent, or small-course plate
- Pack of 12 provides a practical starting quantity for initial cover sets
At 185mm these are compact plates, and it is worth confirming they fit your intended use before committing to a full order. They stack efficiently and are dishwasher safe, which keeps clearing and turnaround straightforward during busy service periods. The Willow Mist range includes complementary pieces, so building a coordinated table setting across the collection is straightforward.
These plates are well suited to restaurants, private dining rooms, and hotel food and beverage operations running a contemporary or fine dining concept. For higher-volume operations needing larger pack quantities or a broader range of plate sizes, the full Steelite catalogue offers a number of complementary options.
If you are building a complete cover or matching existing Willow Mist pieces, our team is happy to talk through quantities and range coordination before you place an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- At 185mm this plate is most commonly used as a side plate, bread plate, or as the presentation surface for smaller composed courses in a multi-course menu. It is compact enough to sit alongside a main course cover without crowding the table, and the embossed rim gives it enough visual presence for standalone use in an amuse-bouche or pre-dessert role.
- Alumina enrichment increases the density and hardness of the porcelain, which translates to better resistance to chipping along the rim and foot — the areas most vulnerable to damage on a busy restaurant floor. It does not make the plate indestructible, but operators generally find the replacement rate is noticeably lower compared to standard vitrified china at a similar price point.
- Yes — the Willow Mist range is designed as a coordinated collection, so the grey glaze and embossed detailing carry consistently across different plate sizes and forms. If you are building or extending a full cover set, it is worth reviewing the available pieces together to confirm the mix works for your menu format. Our team can help with that if useful.
