Product Description
The Terrace Juniper saucer from Steelite's Folio collection is a 162mm vitrified stoneware piece designed for use in cafés, restaurants, and hospitality venues where presentation matters as much as durability. The range is built around a semi-matt glaze that pools naturally into the embossed surface, giving each piece the appearance of hand-worked stone without sacrificing the consistency and robustness that commercial table settings demand.
In a working environment, consistency across covers is important. Because the Terrace range is manufactured from vitrified stoneware, pieces resist chipping and crazing better than standard earthenware, and the finish holds up well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. The embossed detailing draws the eye towards the centre of the piece, which works well when presenting cups and accompanying small accompaniments as part of a considered coffee or tea service.
Practical points worth noting for service use:
- Dishwasher and microwave safe for straightforward back-of-house handling
- Polished foot reduces surface abrasion when stacking, protecting both the saucer and the surface beneath
- Semi-matt glaze gives a tactile, premium feel without being difficult to clean
- Sold in packs of 12, suited to stocking a section or topping up an existing set
- Vitrified stoneware construction provides reliable chip resistance under daily use
These saucers are well suited to mid- to upper-casual dining, hotel breakfast service, and café settings where the aesthetic needs to feel considered rather than generic. The Terrace Juniper colourway lends itself to natural, earthy table schemes. For high-volume canteen or contract catering environments where throughput and replacement cost are the primary concern, a more utilitarian range may be a better fit.
If you're building out a full table setting or matching to an existing range, the team are happy to advise on cover counts, pack quantities, and coordinating pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Vitrified stoneware is fired at higher temperatures than standard earthenware, which makes it denser and less porous. In practice, this means the glaze is less prone to crazing over time and the body resists chipping better under the thermal stress of regular commercial dishwasher cycles. It's a sensible choice for venues running multiple sittings daily.
- The Terrace range is a broad collection, so there are coordinating cups, plates, and bowls available within the same Juniper colourway. If you're building a consistent table scheme rather than just replacing saucers, it's worth checking which other pieces are in stock and whether pack quantities align with your cover count before ordering.
- The underside of each saucer is polished smooth to reduce the rough texture that unfinished stoneware feet can leave. This matters in practice because unpolished feet can scratch lacquered trays, trolley surfaces, and other crockery when pieces are stacked. It also reduces the micro-abrasion that can gradually mark table surfaces in venues without full table linen.
