Why this plate earns its place
Step up from the 100mm, and you've got the workhorse of fine-dining side service. At 135mm (5.5 inches), the Aurora Revolution trays hit the sweet spot: large enough for a proper side plate, small enough to look intentional rather than oversized. The bluestone finish is where these truly distinguish themselves — that deep, sophisticated blue signals care in plating without the sterility of white.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is unforgiving in the best way. It absorbs impacts the way cheap porcelain can't, resists the microscopic crazing that turns other ceramics dull after months of dishwashing, and maintains edge sharpness even under heavy use. Steelite's mastery shows in the weight distribution and glaze consistency — they feel like the trays a three-star kitchen would choose if they didn't have to think about cost.
The 135mm size performs across multiple services: side plates, salad course, light appetisers, dessert course in larger operations. Stack them during prep, they'll stay organised during service, and they'll move through the wash without drama. A pack of 12 gives you the flexibility to run two full cover cycles or maintain supply on a very busy night.
