Why this plate earns its place
The Aurora Vesuvius range delivers professional tableware that looks as good as it performs. Each 135mm tray is moulded from alumina vitrified ceramic, a material engineered for commercial kitchens: chip-resistant, thermal-shock stable, and built to survive thousands of wash cycles without degrading colour or gloss.
The burnt emerald finish is neither green nor grey—it's a carefully considered shade that pairs with modern plating aesthetics without demanding matching. Steelite designs these trays to nest and stack, so a 12-pack stays compact in storage but delivers capacity on the pass. At 135mm, they're the sweet spot for small plates, amuse-bouches, bread service, or high-level appetiser plating where the dish itself needs to be felt and seen.
Unlike standard ceramic, alumina vitrified ware is formulated to retain heat during service and to be handled repeatedly without crazing or moisture absorption. That durability translates directly to stock count: you buy once, run longer, replace far less often. For restaurants and catering operations that run consistent covers, that efficiency compounds.
