Steelite Bead Unhandled Stacking Soup Cups 285ml (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Bead soup cup is a straightforward, unhandled stacking cup designed for soup and starter service in commercial hospitality environments. Made from vitrified china, it forms part of Steelite's Bead range — a clean, classically shaped collection with a fine bead detail to the rim that suits both formal and informal table settings without looking out of place in either.

Vitrified china is the practical choice for front-of-house crockery in high-turnover operations. It withstands repeated commercial dishwasher cycles reliably, resists chipping better than standard earthenware, and holds its glaze over sustained use. The unhandled format keeps the presentation simple and the stacking design makes storage and transport between the kitchen and service area more efficient — a small detail that matters when covers are running at pace.

Key practical points for operators:

• Vitrified china construction suited to commercial dishwasher use
• Stackable profile supports efficient storage and tray handling
• Unhandled design keeps presentation clean and consistent
• Classic Bead detailing works across a range of table settings
• Sold in packs of 12, practical for building or topping up cover counts

These cups are well suited to restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations serving plated soups or starters. The 285ml capacity is appropriate for a standard starter or amuse-bouche soup portion. They are not the right choice where a handled cup is preferred for hot beverage service or where a more substantial vessel is needed for main-course portions.

If you're building out a full table setting or need to match these to other pieces in the Bead range, we're happy to help you work through what you need.
