Coupe Plates | Ink Legacy Teal Plates | 153mm Dining Plates | Steelite VV1903

Q: Is every single plate identical in its pattern?

A: No, and  that's the beauty of them. The reactive glazing process creates subtle, unique variations in the pattern and  colour of each plate, giving them a genuinely handcrafted feel.

Q: What exactly is 'vitrified' ceramic?

A: It's a process where the ceramic is fired at an extremely high temperature, causing the body to become glass-like (vitreous). This makes it non-porous, incredibly strong, and  highly resistant to chips.

Q: Can these plates handle the intensity of a commercial dishwasher?

A: Absolutely. They are specifically designed and  tested to withstand the high temperatures, powerful detergents, and  daily rigours of commercial dishwashing cycles.

Q: Is the 153mm (6") size suitable for main courses?

A: This size is generally best for appetisers, side dishes, desserts, or as a bread plate. For main courses, you would typically look for a larger plate from the same Steelite Ink Legacy Teal range.

Q: Will the teal colour fade or wear off over time?

A: No, the colour is an integral part of the durable glaze itself. It is not a surface print, so it is protected against fading, scratching, and  wear from cutlery and  washing.

Q: Do these plates get very hot in the microwave?

A: Like all microwave-safe ceramic, they will get hot. Always use caution and  appropriate hand protection when removing them from a microwave or a hot pass.

Q: How do they feel to handle? Are they heavy?

A: They have a satisfying, quality weight that communicates their durability, but are not uncomfortably heavy for waiting staff to carry in stacks.

Q: What does 'stackable' actually mean for a coupe plate?

A: It means the base and  shape are engineered so that when you stack them, they nestle securely without wobbling or putting pressure on the edges, which prevents chipping.
