Steelite Willow Mist Gourmet Plate Small Well Grey 285mm (Pack of 6)

The Steelite Willow Mist Gourmet Plate is a 285mm porcelain plate from Steelite's Willow Mist range, finished in a soft grey tone with a subtle embossed pattern around the rim. The small well format concentrates the presentation area, giving chefs a defined, structured canvas for plated dishes rather than the more open well of a standard flat plate.

Steelite's porcelain is alumina-enriched, which improves chip resistance and gives the body a practical durability that holds up well in busy front-of-house environments where plates move through service, dishwashers, and stacking repeatedly. The embossed detail is baked into the glaze rather than applied as a surface finish, so it remains consistent through the product's life. The grey tone sits comfortably within contemporary plating aesthetics, particularly for modern European and tasting menu formats where a neutral, refined backdrop is preferred.

• Small well format supports structured, portion-controlled plating
• Alumina-enriched porcelain for improved chip and crack resistance
• Embossed rim detail frames dishes without competing with the food
• Muted grey finish suits contemporary fine dining presentations
• Dishwasher safe and built to withstand the demands of commercial service

The 285mm diameter suits a main course plate for fine dining or a generous starter in a more casual setting. It is a considered size — large enough to give plating room, compact enough to fit standard pass and table covers without difficulty. At 5.16kg for a pack of six, the individual plate weight is consistent with well-made porcelain at this diameter, which contributes to the feel in the hand during service.

This plate is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and private dining operations where presentation quality matters and tableware consistency across covers is important. It is less well suited to high-turnover casual dining where a lighter or more utilitarian plate would be more practical. For operators needing larger quantities or alternative sizes within the Willow Mist range, other formats are available.
