The APS Stone Art oval bowl is a melamine serving piece designed to replicate the look of hand-glazed stoneware. The deliberately flecked white surface with a contrasting brown rim gives it an earthy, rustic appearance that works well for presenting sharing dishes, sides, salads, or desserts in a casual or contemporary dining setting.

Melamine is a practical choice for operators who want the visual appeal of ceramic without the breakage risk. This bowl is noticeably robust for everyday service use — the material resists chipping and cracking under the kind of handling that would eventually take its toll on standard ceramic. At 660g it has a satisfying weight that reads as quality on the table without being cumbersome for front-of-house staff to carry.

  • Dishwasher-safe, supporting standard pass-through or rack machine cycles
  • Suitable for microwave use where reheating at the pass is part of your workflow
  • Resistant to chipping — reduces ongoing replacement costs compared with ceramic
  • Neutral rustic finish suits a range of cuisine styles and table settings
  • Sold singly, allowing operators to buy to exact requirements

It is worth noting that melamine is not suitable for oven use, and the material will discolour over time if exposed to very high temperatures or abrasive cleaning products. For operations running an industrial dishwasher with particularly aggressive chemical cycles, testing a small quantity first is sensible.

This bowl is well suited to cafés, bistros, gastro pubs, and casual dining restaurants looking for a durable, presentable alternative to ceramic. If you are equipping a larger operation or need pieces with a more formal finish, we carry other styles across the APS range that may be worth considering alongside this one.

If you are building a table setting or need guidance on which APS pieces work well together for a particular style of service, feel free to get in touch with the team.

Frequently asked questions

Is this bowl suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?

Yes, the APS Stone Art bowl is dishwasher-safe and is designed to withstand regular cycles in a commercial pass-through or rack machine. It is advisable to avoid highly abrasive chemical programmes, which can dull the surface finish over time.

Can melamine bowls be used in a microwave?

This bowl is stated as microwave-compatible, making it useful where dishes are finished or held briefly at the pass. Melamine is not suitable for oven use, so it should not be placed in a conventional or combination oven at any temperature.

How does melamine tableware hold up compared with ceramic in a busy service environment?

Melamine is considerably more resistant to chipping and cracking than ceramic under everyday commercial handling, which is why it is commonly used in casual dining, pub kitchens, and high-turnover environments. The trade-off is that the surface can discolour gradually if exposed to strong cleaning agents or prolonged high heat, so it suits operations where that is manageable.
