Steelite Bead Jug 142ml Vitrified China (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Bead Jug is a small-format pouring jug in the Bead range, produced in vitrified china. At 142ml capacity, it is sized for individual table service — typically used for cream, milk, sauces, or dressings — and the classic Bead profile gives it a clean, formal appearance that suits both traditional and contemporary dining settings.

Vitrified china is the standard material choice for front-of-house jugs in commercial environments for good reason. It withstands the repeated thermal and mechanical stresses of busy service, including commercial dishwasher cycles run multiple times a day. The Bead jug is robust enough for high-turnover restaurant use without the fragility concerns associated with fine bone china, while still presenting well on the table.

Practical advantages of this jug in a service context include:

• Chip-resistant vitrified china body holds up to heavy daily dishwasher use
• Classic profile stacks and stores neatly, keeping back-of-house organised
• White glaze shows no tea or sauce staining after normal cleaning cycles
• Uniform size across the pack supports consistent table presentation
• Sourced from Steelite, a manufacturer with a reliable supply chain for replacement pieces

Supplied as a pack of 12, which suits initial setup for a dining room or restocking an existing Bead collection. It is worth considering total cover count and service rotation when deciding on pack quantities — higher-volume operations or those running multiple sittings will typically want a larger opening stock to allow for breakages and dishwasher turnaround time.
