Product Description
The Steelite Bead cup is a 350ml vitrified china cup from Steelite's Bead range — a straightforward, classically proportioned piece designed for everyday use in professional table service. The clean, simple profile works equally well for hot beverages in a restaurant, hotel breakfast setting, or café environment where a consistent, presentable cup is needed across a high number of covers.
Vitrified china is the standard material specification for commercial tableware for good reason. It fires at higher temperatures than standard earthenware, producing a denser, harder body that resists chipping and crazing under the repeated thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers. In practice, this means the cups hold up well through the daily punishment of busy service and high-volume warewashing without the glaze deteriorating quickly.
- Vitrified china construction suits high-frequency dishwasher use
- Classic profile works across formal dining and casual covers
- Consistent sizing across the Bead range supports uniform presentation
- Sold in packs of 12, practical for building or replacing stock incrementally
One practical consideration: as with any fine china, the Bead cup is not indestructible. High-impact drops and stacking abuse will cause chipping over time, as they would with any vitrified piece. Operators running very high-volume, fast-turnover environments where cups are handled roughly may want to weigh up a heavier-gauge alternative.
The Bead cup suits restaurants, hotels, contract caterers, and event operations looking for a reliable, neutral-profile cup that presents well without drawing attention away from the overall table setting. It fits naturally where operators want consistent, unfussy tableware that performs across many covers without frequent replacement.
If you're building a full table setting around the Bead range or have questions about quantities for your covers, our team is happy to help you work through what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Vitrified china is the standard specification for commercial tableware precisely because it withstands the high temperatures and repeated thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers. The Bead cups are designed for this kind of daily use, and the denser body resists the crazing and glaze wear that can affect lower-grade earthenware over time.
- This depends on your cover count, table turns, and dishwasher cycle time. A general working rule is to hold three times your cover count in cups to allow for those in service, those being cleared, and those in the wash cycle. If you'd like help working out quantities for your operation, our team can advise based on your specific service model.
- The Bead range from Steelite is a broad collection with consistent profile and glaze across multiple pieces, so the cups can be used alongside other Bead items for a coordinated table setting. If you're looking to build out a full cover rather than purchasing cups alone, it's worth discussing the range with us to ensure the pieces you select work together.
