The APS Stone Art 120mm bowl is part of APS's premium melamine tableware range, designed to replicate the look of stoneware or hand-thrown pottery without the fragility or weight. The dappled glaze finish, earthy rim and slightly irregular profile give each piece a genuinely rustic, artisan appearance that works well in informal dining settings where presentation still matters.

Made from melamine, the bowl is considerably more resistant to chipping and cracking than ceramic equivalents, which makes it a practical choice for environments where breakage rates are a real cost concern. At 150g it is noticeably lighter than stoneware, which can ease the burden during busy service — particularly relevant in high-turnover settings where staff are handling large volumes of covers.

The steep-sided 120mm profile makes it a versatile size for smaller portions — commonly used for side salads, soups, dips, breakfast cereals and small desserts. Key operational advantages include:

  • Resistant to chipping and cracking under regular service use
  • Lightweight construction reduces handling fatigue over long shifts
  • Consistent rustic aesthetic across the full Stone Art range
  • Suitable for dishwasher use in commercial operations
  • Sold singly, allowing operators to match or supplement existing stock

It is worth noting that melamine is not suitable for use in microwave ovens or conventional ovens, so this bowl is best suited to cold or pre-heated dishes served directly to the table. It is also worth confirming dishwasher temperature compatibility with your specific machine before committing to larger quantities.

The Stone Art range suits casual dining restaurants, café-bistros, gastropubs and any operation looking to introduce an earthy, informal aesthetic without the ongoing breakage costs associated with ceramic tableware. If you are fitting out a larger site or need guidance on quantities across the range, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently asked questions

Is this bowl suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?

Melamine tableware is generally compatible with commercial dishwashers, but performance can vary depending on water temperature and chemical concentrations. It is worth checking the maximum wash temperature of your machine against the manufacturer's guidance before committing to a full order, particularly if your dishwasher runs at higher sanitising temperatures.

Can the Stone Art bowl be used in a microwave or to serve hot food?

Melamine is not suitable for use in microwave ovens and should not be placed in a conventional oven. It is well suited to serving cold dishes or pre-heated food plated directly from the kitchen, but it is not designed to withstand prolonged direct heat.

How does the 120mm size fit into a typical small plates or café menu?

At 120mm in diameter the bowl sits comfortably in a side-dish or starter role — it is commonly used for soups, side salads, breakfast portions, dips and small desserts. If you need a larger capacity for main-course portions or sharing dishes, it is worth exploring the wider Stone Art range, which includes larger bowl formats.
