Delivery Information

Price Match

The Elia Glacier tea cup is a stackable fine china cup finished in a soft creamy glaze with gently curved lines. It sits comfortably within both classic and contemporary table settings and is part of Elia's wider Glacier tableware range, making it straightforward to build a coordinated cover across cups, saucers and plates.

In day-to-day service, the super vitrified construction makes a practical difference. Super vitrified china is denser and more impact-resistant than standard porcelain, which helps it withstand the repeated handling, stacking and commercial dishwasher cycles that come with busy beverage service. The resistant glaze finish also helps the cups hold their appearance over time, resisting the surface crazing and staining that can affect lighter-duty china.

From an operational standpoint, the stackable design keeps storage organised on a tight back-of-house shelf or waitstation, and the 240ml capacity is well suited to standard tea service portions.

  • Super vitrified body reduces chipping and breakage during daily handling
  • Resistant glaze finish maintains appearance through regular commercial dishwashing
  • Stackable profile makes efficient use of storage space
  • Part of the wider Glacier range for consistent table presentation
  • 240ml capacity suits standard tea and hot beverage service

These cups are most appropriate for hotels, cafés, restaurants and contract catering operations running table service or tray service. They are sold in packs of six, which is worth bearing in mind when planning initial stock levels relative to your cover count and dishwasher turnaround times.

If you are building out a full Glacier cover or want guidance on quantities for your service volume, the team is happy to help you work through the numbers.

Frequently asked questions

How many packs do I need to order for a full table service operation?

A useful rule of thumb is to hold three times your seated cover count in cups, which allows for one set in use, one in the dishwasher and one clean and ready. For a 40-cover operation that would point to around 120 cups — 20 packs of six — though your dishwasher cycle time and service pace will affect the right number for your site.

Are these cups suitable for commercial dishwashers?

Yes. The super vitrified construction and resistant glaze are designed to hold up to the temperatures and detergent concentrations used in commercial pass-through and rack dishwashers. As with all fine china, avoiding aggressive mechanical impact during loading and unloading will extend service life.

Do these cups work with the rest of the Elia Glacier range?

The Glacier cup is part of Elia's coordinated Glacier fine china collection, so it is designed to sit alongside Glacier saucers, plates and other pieces in the same glaze and profile. If you are building a full cover, it is worth confirming the current range availability with the team to ensure consistent supply.
