Product Description
The Steelite Bead Sugar Cup is a straightforward, well-proportioned piece of tableware designed for everyday front-of-house use. Part of Steelite's Bead range, it follows a clean, traditional profile that sits comfortably across a wide range of dining environments — from hotel restaurants to café counters. Each cup holds 227ml and is constructed from vitrified china, which is the standard material of choice in commercial hospitality for its combination of durability and consistent finish.
Vitrified china withstands the rigours of busy service well. It handles repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without significant crazing or colour loss, and the material resists chipping better than standard earthenware under normal service conditions. For operators running multiple sittings or high covers, that resilience matters — breakage and replacement costs add up quickly when tableware isn't up to the demands of the environment.
- Vitrified china construction tolerates repeated commercial dishwasher cycles reliably
- Classic Bead profile suits formal and informal dining settings equally well
- Consistent white finish integrates with most existing tableware ranges
- Sold in packs of 12, practical for building or topping up service stock
- Straightforward to stack and store without specialist handling
Being sold in packs of 12 makes stock management straightforward. Operators can build quantity gradually or replace broken units without committing to large bulk orders. The cup's dimensions — 64mm tall with an 88mm diameter — make it practical to store and handle during service without taking up unnecessary space on trays or trolleys.
This cup is well suited to restaurants, hotels, cafés, and contract catering operations where a reliable, unfussy sugar cup is needed as part of a consistent table cover. It's a sensible choice where presentation matters but the priority is durability and ease of handling across a full service period. If you're equipping a larger operation or building a full Bead cover, it's worth speaking with us to ensure quantities and complementary pieces work together — we're happy to advise.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Vitrified china is the standard material used across commercial hospitality precisely because it tolerates repeated high-temperature dishwasher cycles. You should expect consistent performance without significant crazing or glaze deterioration under normal commercial use.
- That depends on your cover count, sitting frequency, and how your sugar is presented — whether cups are placed per table or per cover. As a starting point, most operators plan for at least one to one-and-a-half times their seated cover count to allow for service rotation and breakage contingency. If you'd like help working out the right quantity for your operation, we're happy to talk it through.
- Yes, the Bead range is designed as a coordinated collection, so the sugar cup shares the same profile and glaze finish as other Bead pieces. If you're building or completing a full cover using the Bead range, it's worth confirming which complementary pieces work best for your service style — we can advise on that.
