Steelite Blue Dapple Sugar & Bouillon Cups 227ml (Pack of 12)

These cups from Steelite's Blue Dapple range within the Simplicity collection are designed for serving sugar or bouillon at the table or on a self-service counter. The white body carries a narrow blue border applied by sponging onto a rolled edge, giving a consistent decorative finish that holds up reliably across a large table set. Supplied in packs of twelve, they are a practical choice for operators looking to introduce a coordinated colour accent without committing to an entirely bespoke range.

Steelite manufactures these cups in alumina vitrified ceramic, which is well regarded in commercial catering for its resistance to the mechanical stresses of daily service — stacking, repeated handling, commercial dishwasher cycles, and the general pace of a busy pass. The rolled edge is a practical design choice in professional use, helping to resist chipping at the rim where most wear tends to occur in service. Steelite backs this with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which reflects confidence in the durability of the construction.

In practical terms, the Blue Dapple cups suit a range of service styles:

• Table service in restaurants and brasseries wanting a simple colour accent
• Café and tearoom counters serving bouillon or hot beverages alongside a meal
• Buffet and canteen self-service where a coordinated look is maintained cost-effectively
• Banqueting and event catering where matching sets need to hold up across multiple covers

The Blue Dapple pattern is part of a wider coordinated range, so operators can match cups with plates, bowls, and other pieces from the same collection to create a consistent table presentation.
