Pack of 24 | Diameter: 243mm
The Shell Round Plate (243mm) by Tuxton is the main course backbone of the Shell tableware program. At 243mm, it provides the ideal canvas for beautifully composed main course plating — generous enough for a full serve, refined enough to let the dish speak for itself.
The Shell's iconic scalloped rim, creamy white vitrified body, and steep edge profile bring a softly vintage elegance to any table setting. This plate is equally at home in fine-casual dining rooms, boutique hotels, and contemporary Australian restaurants looking for crockery that works as hard as the kitchen that fills it.
Please click here to view the entire Shell range from Tuxton.
Key Features
- Diameter: 243mm — main course plate size for full-serve dining
- Ample white space for composed, fine-casual to fine-dining plating
- Signature scalloped rim with creamy white premium vitrified finish
- Fully vitrified — chip, crazing, and thermal shock resistant
- Microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe
- Wholesale pack of 24 — suited to mid-to-large operations
- Sustainably manufactured by Tuxton
Buyer's Guide — Choosing a Main Course Plate for Your Venue
The main course plate is your venue's most-used piece of crockery. Getting the size, weight, and aesthetic right will have a significant impact on the dining experience and your operational costs over time.
- Size and portions: At 243mm, this plate comfortably holds a full main course serve — protein, sides, and sauce — with some plating room to spare. For even more generous presentations, the Shell Round Plate 277mm is available for larger main-course or banquet formats.
- Menu compatibility: This plate works across a wide range of contemporary Australian menu styles, from modern bistro to tasting menu. The clean white space and elegant rim profile support virtually any plating aesthetic.
- Pack quantity: 24 per pack is ideal for boutique venues and top-up orders. High-volume operations should consider ordering two or more packs and maintaining a 20–25% buffer to account for breakage in active service.
- Full table program: Pair with the Shell Round Plate 161mm or 184mm (sides), Shell Round Bowl 220mL (soups and desserts), and Shell Oval Plates for a complete cohesive table setting across all courses.
- Durability in service: The fully vitrified finish provides excellent resistance to the thermal stresses of commercial dishwashing and hot service environments — extending product life and reducing replacement frequency.
