Why this plate earns its place
The 165mm Aurora Vesuvius sits in the middle of Steelite's stacking tray range, giving you the flexibility to build composed plates or present shared dishes that feel designed rather than scattered. Fired from alumina vitrified ceramic, each tray inherits the durability that defines the Aurora range: it survives thermal shock, aggressive dishwashing, and thousands of cycles without crazing or colour loss.
Burnt emerald—a muted, sophisticated green—is the kind of colour that recedes visually when you plate on it, letting the food be the focal point. Unlike bright colours that can clash with plating aesthetics, this finish has been carefully chosen by Steelite to complement both warm and cool food presentation. The nesting design means a 12-pack occupies minimal pass space but delivers maximum service capacity.
At 165mm, these trays bridge the gap between small-plate service and side dishes, making them genuinely useful for courses where the plate itself needs to be elegant but the quantity flexible. The weight and thermal retention of alumina ceramic means what you put on the plate stays at temperature, and the trays themselves won't flex or warp under heat or weight.
