Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a newly opened bistro in Cardiff, wanted tableware that would stand out from the local competition and  match their rustic-industrial interior. They switched from plain white plates to the Steelite Vesuvius collection for their starters and  desserts.

“These plates completely transformed our presentation. The warm amber colour makes our food look incredible in photos and  on the table. Customers constantly ask where we got them from; they're a real talking point.”

Robert Davies – Owner, The Copper Kettle

The bistro reported a significant increase in social media tags and  shares, crediting the photogenic quality of the Vesuvius amber coupe plates for boosting their online visibility.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully inspect each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Always give the plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use.
  • If pre-heating, warm them gently rather than exposing them to sudden, extreme heat sources.
  • Plan your shelf space – their excellent stackability is a key feature to take advantage of.

Keeping It Going

  • To protect the beautiful glaze, avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh powders.
  • Stack them carefully, avoiding impact on the rims to maintain their chip-resistant edge.
  • While dishwasher safe, regular checks for any rough spots can prevent scratches on other items.
  • Remove any minor metal marks from cutlery with a gentle, specialized porcelain cleaner.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Crockery

Not sure which plates are the perfect match for your establishment? Here are a few things to consider.

Match Your Menu

Think about the food you serve. Colourful plates like these Vesuvius amber coupe plates can make simple dishes pop, while neutral plates let complex dishes shine.

Prioritise Durability

Look for terms like 'vitrified porcelain' and  'chip-resistant edges'. In a commercial setting, strength is just as important as style to keep replacement costs down.

Consider the Vibe

Your tableware is a huge part of your brand's aesthetic. Rustic, modern, classic, or quirky? Choose crockery that tells your story and  enhances the dining experience.

Think About Storage

Is space tight? Always check if plates are stackable. It's a simple feature that makes a massive difference in a busy and  organised kitchen.

The 'Feel' Factor

The weight and  texture of a plate contribute to the perceived quality of the meal. A solid, well-balanced plate feels premium to the customer.

Why Thermal Shock Resistance is a Kitchen Essential

Ever taken a glass dish out of a hot oven and  put it on a cold surface, only to hear a dreaded crack? That's thermal shock. In a busy kitchen, you don't have time to worry about that. Think of 'Thermal Shock Resistance' as a plate's ability to be a flexible athlete. It can go from a hot pass lamp straight to serving a chilled gazpacho, or from the freezer to the microwave, without complaining or breaking under the stress of rapid temperature changes. It's this hidden strength that prevents costly breakages and  gives you the freedom to prep and  serve with confidence, no matter how intense the service gets.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: For presenting stunning appetisers or an amuse-bouche that sets a high-end, memorable tone for the meal.
  • Trendy Cafés & Bistros: The ideal size for serving artisan cakes, signature desserts, or stylish side dishes with flair.
  • Boutique Hotels: To add a touch of rustic elegance and  quality to room service, breakfast, or bar snack menus.
  • Tapas & Small Plate Bars: Perfect for showcasing individual portions and  creating a vibrant, shareable, and  visually appealing table setting.
