The Elia insulated ice bucket is a practical, well-finished piece of tableware designed for ice service across a range of hospitality settings. The double-wall construction slows the rate at which ice melts, keeping the bucket usable throughout a service period without constant replenishment. The white vinyl exterior gives a clean, consistent appearance and is resistant to finger marks — a practical consideration in front-of-house environments where presentation matters. An acrylic lid retains temperature and allows staff to see at a glance how much ice remains, while the polished chrome handle makes carrying comfortable during a busy service. A stainless steel scoop is included in the set.
At 3 litres, this bucket is well suited to individual table use, room service trays, bar setups, and smaller catered events. It is not intended for high-volume ice storage behind the bar — for that purpose a dedicated ice well or larger insulated container would be more appropriate.
- Double-wall insulation slows ice melt during service
- Finger-mark resistant finish keeps presentation tidy throughout the shift
- Acrylic lid helps retain temperature and shows remaining ice at a glance
- Stainless steel scoop included for hygienic, efficient serving
- Comfortable chrome handle suited to carrying during table or room service
If you are equipping multiple rooms, a bar, or a banqueting operation and want to confirm the right capacity or quantity for your setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
From £33.26(£39.91 inc VAT)
The Elia vacuum jug is a double-walled stainless steel server designed to hold and pour hot or cold beverages at table. It comes in two sizes: 700ml and 1Ltr. The 1Ltr is available in three finishes: stainless steel, black and white. The 700ml is available in stainless steel only. Choose the size and colour above. The inner lining and outer body are both stainless steel, with vacuum insulation between the two walls to slow heat transfer in either direction. The shatterproof construction avoids the fragility of glass-lined alternatives, a meaningful advantage in busy environments where jugs are handled repeatedly through a shift. A flow-through stopper allows controlled, drip-free pouring without removing the lid, and the wide-mouth opening makes filling, cleaning and descaling straightforward at the end of service.
In practical use, this jug is well suited to breakfast buffets, meeting rooms, conference catering stations, restaurant table service and hotel lounge settings where hot coffee, hot water or chilled milk needs to be presented and kept at temperature for a reasonable period. An ABS base and ergonomic handle give extra impact protection and grip.
- Shatterproof stainless steel body and inner lining for durability in service
- Dual-wall vacuum insulation retains temperature for extended holding periods
- Flow-through stopper allows drip-free pouring without removing the lid
- Wide mouth opening simplifies filling, cleaning and descaling
- Ergonomic handle and reinforced base suited to front-of-house handling
Sizes and SKUs:
- 700ml, Stainless Steel (JK922): suited to two to four covers or a small self-serve station
- 1Ltr, Stainless Steel (CP136), Black (JK924), White (JK925): suited to small tables, individual meeting rooms or buffet runs; not intended for high-volume dispense
If you are unsure which size or finish suits your service, the team is happy to help.
£61.57(£73.88 inc VAT)
The Elia cylinder vacuum jug is a 1-litre beverage server designed for professional hospitality use. It is available in five finishes: black, blue, red, white and satin stainless steel. Choose the colour above. The cylindrical format is a practical choice for tabletop and buffet service, being stable and easy to handle, and a common choice for table service, breakfast buffets, meeting rooms, hotel suites and self-serve stations where a clean, consistent presentation is expected. The colours are also useful in operations that colour-code their beverage service, helping staff and guests tell hot drinks from cold or one beverage type from another at a glance.
The shatterproof vacuum liner is the core of the jug's performance. It provides reliable thermal retention, keeping hot drinks at an acceptable serving temperature across a typical service period and maintaining cold beverages without ice, which reduces the frequency of top-ups required by floor staff. The stainless steel exterior handles the wear and knocks of a working service environment, and the satin stainless finish is presentable for front-of-house use without requiring polishing.
- Shatterproof vacuum liner and stainless steel exterior for daily commercial use
- Lever stopper allows controlled, drip-free pouring with one hand
- Air-release system in the lid safely vents built-up steam pressure
- Wide-mouth opening makes filling, cleaning and descaling straightforward
- Non-slip silicone base improves stability on trays, stations and tabletops
- Five finishes: black, blue, red, white and satin stainless steel
At 1 litre this jug suits individual table service, small meeting rooms, small group settings and lighter-duty applications. For operations serving larger groups from a single vessel, or where jugs are refilled continuously through a long service, a larger-capacity server may be worth considering alongside this one.
If you are equipping a number of tables or want to talk through quantities, colour coding or which format suits your service style, the team is happy to help.
£73.49(£88.19 inc VAT)
The Elia cylinder vacuum jug is a straightforward, well-made thermal beverage server designed for professional hospitality use. This 1.5-litre format is available in black and in stainless steel. Choose the finish above. It suits table service, buffet runs, breakfast service, meeting and conference settings, and self-serve beverage stations where presentation and practicality both matter. The shatterproof vacuum liner maintains the temperature of hot or cold drinks throughout a service period without requiring a heat source, reducing the need for frequent top-ups and keeping the station tidy.
In day-to-day service, the lever stopper allows controlled, drip-free pouring, a small but genuinely useful feature when staff are moving quickly or guests are serving themselves. The lid incorporates an air-release system to safely vent steam pressure, which is worth noting if the jug is used regularly with freshly boiled water. The 18/10 stainless steel exterior holds up well to the knocks and handling of a busy service environment without showing wear quickly, and is presentable enough for front-of-house use.
- Wide-mouth opening makes filling and daily cleaning straightforward
- Ergonomic handle and neck allow comfortable single-handed pouring
- Silicone non-slip base protects surfaces and reduces the risk of tipping on busy stations
- Slim cylinder profile keeps the footprint manageable on crowded counters
- Two finishes: black and stainless steel
There are no electrical or installation requirements. This is a passive server that relies entirely on the vacuum liner for retention. At 1.5 litres it suits moderate-volume and lower-volume service points, such as a small meeting room, a till-side station or a supplementary position on a larger buffet, where a jug is replenished regularly throughout a session. For very high-volume or extended self-serve situations, or banqueting service where staff are filling cups continuously, a larger-capacity server would be more practical.
If you are unsure whether this size is right for your service volume, or are equipping a larger function setup with multiple stations, the team is happy to help you work through the right options.
£65.55(£78.66 inc VAT)
The Elia 800ml teapot is a well-made stainless steel service piece designed for everyday use in cafés, restaurants, hotels, and similar hospitality environments. It is built from 18/10 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, giving it a clean, professional appearance that holds up well in front-of-house settings.
The teapot includes a removable infuser, making it practical for loose leaf tea service as well as standard bagged teas and herbal infusions. The hinged lid stays in place during pouring, the spout is designed to minimise drips, and the hollow handle reduces heat transfer to keep handling comfortable during service. These details make a real difference during a busy breakfast or afternoon tea run when the pot is being filled and poured repeatedly.
At 800ml it is well suited to serving two to four cups per pot, which works well for table service in most café and restaurant settings. Key practical points include:
- Removable infuser supports loose leaf and bagged tea service
- Hinged lid and non-drip spout for controlled, clean pouring
- Hollow handle reduces heat transfer during repeated use
- Mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel resists staining and cleans easily
- Durable construction suited to regular commercial service cycles
It is worth noting that stainless steel retains heat differently to ceramic or silver-plated alternatives — some operators prefer to pre-warm the pot before service, particularly in cooler environments. The mirror finish will show water marks if not dried promptly after washing, so a consistent cleaning routine matters in a front-of-house setting.
This teapot suits cafés, hotel breakfast operations, and restaurant table service where a reliable, presentable stainless steel piece is needed. If you are equipping a high-volume operation or looking to match a specific tableware range, it is worth having a conversation with us first — we are happy to help you choose the right option for your setting.
£58.59(£70.31 inc VAT)
The Elia Classic coffee pot is a straightforward 18/10 stainless steel serving pot designed for table-side beverage service in commercial hospitality environments. The hinged lid allows for easy filling during service and stays securely in place when pouring, while the non-drip spout is shaped to give a clean, controlled pour without trailing drips on tablecloths or saucers.
In a busy restaurant or hotel breakfast operation, small details like a well-balanced spout and a comfortable handle make a genuine difference across a full service shift. The hollow handle is designed to stay cooler to the touch, which matters when staff are moving quickly between tables. The heavy-gauge steel construction holds up well to repeated washing in commercial dishwashers and the knocks that come with day-to-day handling.
- Mirror-polished finish maintains a professional appearance on the table
- Non-drip spout reduces mess and keeps service clean and efficient
- Hinged lid stays attached during filling and is unlikely to be misplaced
- Hollow handle reduces heat transfer for safer, more comfortable handling
- 18/10 grade steel resists staining and holds its finish through repeated commercial washing
There are no installation requirements — this is a front-of-house serving item. It is worth considering whether the 450ml capacity suits your service style; for smaller covers or single-serve settings a smaller pot may work better, while higher-volume operations may prefer a larger format. A matching teapot is available within the Elia Classic range for a coordinated table setting.
This pot is well suited to hotels, restaurants, cafés and contract catering operations looking for reliable, presentable hollowware that will stand up to daily commercial use without looking tired. If you are putting together a full beverage service or want to discuss the wider Elia Classic range, the team are happy to help.
£58.59(£70.31 inc VAT)
The Elia 450ml stainless steel teapot is a compact, well-finished piece of tableware designed for individual or small-table tea service in cafés, restaurants, hotels, and similar hospitality environments. The body is formed in 18/10 stainless steel with a polished mirror finish, and the design includes a removable infuser, a hinged lid, a non-drip spout, and a hollow handle intended to stay cooler during service.
In practical terms, this is a teapot built for front-of-house use where appearance matters alongside function. The polished finish presents well on a laid table, and the non-drip spout helps reduce mess during service — a small but worthwhile consideration when covers are turning quickly. The removable infuser means it handles loose-leaf tea and herbal infusions as readily as bagged teas, which suits operations with a broader beverage menu.
- Polished 18/10 stainless steel resists tarnishing and cleans easily
- Removable infuser supports loose-leaf and bagged tea service
- Non-drip spout reduces spillage during table service
- Hollow handle designed to dissipate heat for safer pouring
- Hinged lid stays in place during pouring without requiring a second hand
At this capacity, the teapot is best suited to a single diner or a two-cover service where one pot is sufficient. Operators running higher-volume tea service or larger table parties may want to consider a larger-capacity option alongside this one to cover both situations.
If you're building out a tea service range or want to discuss quantities and presentation options, the team is happy to help.
£65.55(£78.66 inc VAT)
The Elia Classic coffee pot is a straightforward, well-made 18/10 stainless steel pot intended for front-of-house beverage service. The hinged lid allows easy filling and stays securely in place during service, while the non-drip spout gives waiting staff better control when pouring at the table. The hollow handle is designed to remain cooler to the touch during normal use, which matters when staff are working quickly across a busy floor.
In practice, a pot like this earns its keep through consistent, everyday reliability. The mirror-polished finish presents well on a laid table and holds up to repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without losing its appearance, provided it is handled with reasonable care. The classic curved form suits a wide range of table settings, from traditional hotel dining to contemporary restaurant environments, without looking out of place in either.
- Non-drip spout reduces spillage during busy table service
- Hinged lid stays attached, reducing loss and simplifying re-filling
- Hollow handle stays cooler during normal service use
- Mirror finish presents well and withstands commercial dishwashing
- Classic silhouette suits both traditional and contemporary covers
There are no installation requirements — this is a serving piece rather than a fixed appliance. It is worth noting that like all polished stainless steel hollowware, watermarks and light scratching will develop over time with heavy use; this is normal and does not affect function. A matching teapot is available within the Elia Classic range if a coordinated beverage service is required.
This pot is well suited to hotels, restaurants, cafés, and contract catering operations looking for a dependable, presentable coffee pot at a sensible price point. If you are equipping a large banqueting operation or need to match an existing hollowware range, it is worth having a conversation with us first to make sure this fits your service setup.
£25.81(£30.97 inc VAT)
The Elia table mountable wine cooler holder is a simple, practical piece of barware designed to keep a wine or champagne cooler secure at the table edge, rather than occupying surface space. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel with a mirror finish, it presents neatly alongside glassware and other table settings without drawing attention to itself.
In a busy restaurant or bar environment, table space is rarely surplus. Positioning the cooler off the main surface gives waiting staff more room to work around covers and reduces the risk of knocks during service. Rubber feet on the mount protect table surfaces from scratching and help keep the unit stable throughout the meal.
The practical advantages for front-of-house teams are straightforward:
- Keeps wine and champagne coolers accessible without occupying table space
- Mirror-finish stainless steel presents well across most dining room styles
- Rubber feet protect table surfaces during service
- Designed to integrate with compatible Elia wine cooler models for a consistent look
- Simple to position, reposition, and clean down between covers
It is worth confirming compatibility with your existing wine coolers before ordering, as this holder is designed to work with specific models within the Elia barware range. If you are building out a coordinated service setup or are unsure which pieces work together, the team are happy to help you put the right combination together.
£94.35(£113.22 inc VAT)
This wine cooler stand from Elia is a floor-standing piece of front-of-house service equipment, designed to hold a wine or champagne bucket at table height during service. Constructed from heavy-gauge 18/10 stainless steel with a mirror polish finish, it presents well in formal dining environments and complements the broader Elia barware range.
The curved base and weighted construction are practical design choices rather than decorative ones. In a busy restaurant or banqueting environment, a stand that can be nudged by a passing trolley or a guest's chair needs to be inherently stable. The solid central bar and low centre of gravity help keep the bucket secure throughout service without staff needing to reposition it.
From an operational standpoint, the stand works well for table-side wine or champagne service where bottles need to remain chilled and accessible without being left on the table. It coordinates with Elia's own wine cooler buckets, which means the proportions and finish are matched rather than approximate — a detail that matters in higher-end dining rooms where consistency in service equipment is expected.
- Suited to restaurants, hotels, and banqueting operations with table-side wine service
- Mirror polish finish maintains appearance through regular service use
- Compatible with Elia wine cooler buckets for a matched service presentation
- Weighted base reduces risk of tipping in busy floor environments
This is a straightforward piece of service kit, but getting the right stand for your bucket size and service style does matter. If you're equipping multiple covers or want to confirm compatibility with your existing Elia buckets, the team are happy to help.
£36.74(£44.09 inc VAT)
This Elia bottle cooler is a double-wall insulated single-bottle cooler finished in satin 18/10 stainless steel. It is designed to keep a standard wine or champagne bottle at serving temperature on the table without requiring ice or water — a practical alternative to a traditional ice bucket for table and counter service settings.
The double-wall construction does the work quietly. It holds bottle temperature for a reasonable period through a sitting, reducing the need for staff to return with ice top-ups during service. The wide opening accommodates most standard wine and champagne bottle formats without difficulty. Because the cooler holds temperature through insulation rather than ice melt, there is no condensation pooling on the table, which helps maintain a clean table presentation throughout the cover.
From a practical standpoint, this cooler offers a few clear operational advantages:
- No ice required — reduces preparation time and cellar demand during service
- Satin finish resists fingerprints and surface marks under regular handling
- No condensation means no need for drip trays or linen protection on the table
- Straightforward to clean between covers — no internal scale build-up from ice water
- Compatible with Elia table stands for freestanding presentation where required
There are no installation requirements — this is a front-of-house tableware item that needs only to be chilled before service, typically by pre-cooling the cooler itself in a refrigerator alongside the bottle. It is worth noting that insulated coolers of this type are not a substitute for proper pre-chilling; the cooler maintains temperature, it does not reduce it significantly from ambient.
This cooler is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, wine bars, and event catering operations where a clean, ice-free table presentation is preferred. For very high-volume operations where multiple bottles per table are routine, a larger capacity bucket or a traditional ice cooler may be more practical.
If you are equipping a dining room and want to talk through which cooler format suits your service style, the team is happy to help.
£71.50(£85.80 inc VAT)
This wine cooler from Elia is a straightforward table-service piece designed to keep a single bottle of wine or champagne at the correct serving temperature throughout the meal. Constructed from stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, it is built for front-of-house use where presentation matters alongside practicality.
The double-wall construction does two useful things in a busy dining room: it slows the rate at which a chilled bottle warms up, and it keeps the exterior of the cooler dry. That second point matters more than it might seem — condensation pooling on a tablecloth or dripping onto a guest is a common small irritation that this design avoids entirely.
- Condensation-free exterior protects table linen and surfaces during service
- Double-wall insulation extends the window for correct serving temperature
- Mirror-polished finish suits both formal and casual dining environments
- Tapered profile accommodates standard wine and champagne bottle sizes
- Compatible with the Elia curved wine cooler stand for elevated table presentation
It is worth noting that this cooler maintains temperature rather than chilling a warm bottle — bottles should be correctly chilled before service. For operations running a high volume of covers or large banqueting events, it is worth considering whether a larger-format cooler or a coordinated set would better suit the pace of service.
If you are putting together a front-of-house smallwares package or matching pieces across a wine service range, the team are happy to advise on what works well together.
£49.65(£59.58 inc VAT)
This wine cooler from Elia is a straightforward, well-made piece of table service equipment. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel with a satin body and mirror-polished rim, it presents cleanly on the table without drawing unnecessary attention to itself — which is exactly what front-of-house smallwares should do.
The double-wall construction serves a practical purpose: it slows the rate at which a chilled bottle warms and keeps condensation off the exterior, so tables stay dry and presentable during service. The 200mm diameter comfortably takes a standard 750ml wine bottle and will accommodate most champagne and sparkling wine bottles without difficulty. It can also hold two bottles where table service calls for it.
In day-to-day use, the benefits are largely about consistency and presentation:
- Keeps bottles at serving temperature for longer during seated service
- No condensation on the exterior, protecting linen and table surfaces
- The satin finish is practical — it shows fewer handling marks than a full mirror finish
- Compatible with Elia table-mounted stands for venues that prefer an elevated presentation
- The 18/10 grade resists corrosion well in regular commercial use
There are no installation requirements — this is a passive, standalone piece. It should be hand-washed to preserve the finish; commercial dishwasher cycles can dull the satin surface over time.
This cooler is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, wine bars, and function venues where presentation standards matter. For very high-volume banqueting operations running large numbers simultaneously, it is worth considering whether a heavier-gauge or higher-capacity option would better suit the throughput.
If you are specifying table service smallwares across a new opening or refurbishment and want to make sure items work together visually and practically, the team is happy to help with that conversation.
£57.60(£69.12 inc VAT)
The Elia double wall decanter is a 1.9-litre insulated serving vessel made from satin stainless steel. It is designed to hold and serve hot or cold beverages at table, with the double wall construction slowing heat transfer in both directions. The flip-top lid makes filling straightforward and allows for a controlled pour during service.
In a busy front-of-house environment, the shatterproof all-stainless construction is a practical advantage over glass alternatives. There are no fragile components to replace, and the decanter handles the day-to-day handling, stacking, and rapid turnover that comes with continuous table service. The satin finish presents well on the table without requiring the care that a polished or mirrored surface would demand.
- Retains beverage temperature during extended table service periods
- No glass components — reduces breakage risk and replacement costs
- Flip-top lid supports controlled pouring and easy refilling
- Satin finish is presentable front-of-house and practical to maintain
- Suitable for both hot and cold beverage service
As a smallware, this decanter requires no installation and has no electrical, gas, or water connections. It is dishwasher safe in most commercial machines, though as with all stainless hollowware, checking compatibility with your specific detergent and cycle temperature is advisable. The integrated handle is fixed, so standard washing racks will accommodate it.
This decanter suits cafés, hotels, restaurants, and function venues serving hot drinks or cold water at table. It works well where a smarter presentation is needed but glass is considered a risk — outdoor dining, high-volume banqueting, or environments where turnover is fast and staff handling is frequent. For very high-volume operations serving large tables simultaneously, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity vessel would reduce the frequency of refills during service.
If you are equipping a new beverage service or reviewing your current hollowware, our team is happy to talk through what suits your setup.
£38.73(£46.48 inc VAT)
The Elia Glacier espresso cup and saucer is a fine china piece finished in a soft, creamy glaze with gently curved lines. It sits comfortably across both classic and contemporary table settings, making it a practical choice for operators who want consistent, well-presented tableware without committing to a heavily styled range.
In day-to-day service, super vitrified fine china holds up well against the repetitive handling, stacking, and commercial dishwasher cycles that are standard in busy café and restaurant environments. The resistant glaze finish helps maintain appearance over extended use, reducing the visible wear that can make tableware look tired before its time.
- Suitable for espresso-based drinks service in cafés, restaurants, and hotel dining
- Super vitrified construction supports durability under commercial dishwasher use
- Resistant glaze finish helps retain appearance through regular service cycles
- Neutral colourway works across a range of table settings and décor styles
- Sold in a pack of six, practical for operators building or replenishing stock
The 115mm saucer size is well suited to standard espresso cup pairings. As with all fine china, care during stacking and handling will extend the service life of the pieces — chip resistance is improved over standard earthenware, but no china is indestructible in a commercial environment.
This cup and saucer is a sensible fit for cafés, restaurants, hotels, and any operation serving espresso as part of a considered drinks offer. If you are equipping a larger site or have questions about quantities or complementary pieces within the Glacier range, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£62.56(£75.07 inc VAT)
The Elia Glacier mug is a 300ml fine china mug sold in a pack of six, designed for front-of-house beverage service in hotels, restaurants, cafés, and similar hospitality settings. The soft creamy glaze and gently curved profile give it a clean, unfussy look that sits comfortably in both traditional and contemporary table settings without requiring a complete crockery overhaul.
Made from super vitrified china with a resistant glazed finish, these mugs are built to withstand the handling, stacking, and repeated machine washing that comes with busy service. Super vitrification increases the density of the clay body, which translates to better chip resistance at the rim and foot — the areas that take the most punishment in a commercial environment. The glaze holds its appearance well over time, which matters when presentation consistency is part of the service standard.
From an operational standpoint, the Glacier mug is practical to work with:
- Dishwasher safe, supporting fast turnaround during peak service
- Microwave safe, giving flexibility where beverages are finished or reheated
- Coordinates with other pieces in the Elia Glacier chinaware collection
- Also compatible with the Elia Miravell and Orientix ranges for operators running mixed collections
- Matching saucers available separately, allowing you to build cover counts to suit your service
These mugs are well suited to operations that want a reliable, presentable china mug without a heavy per-unit cost. For very high-volume sites with significant breakage rates, it is worth considering whether a heavier-gauge or more reinforced option from a commercial tableware range would offer better long-term economy.
If you are building out a full tableware specification or matching to an existing collection, we are happy to help you work through what coordinates and what quantities make sense for your covers.
£39.73(£47.68 inc VAT)
The Elia Glacier mug saucer is part of a fine china tableware range designed for commercial beverage service. With a softly curved profile and a creamy glazed finish, it pairs with standard mug sizes commonly used across café, hotel, and restaurant settings. The 155mm diameter suits most commercial mug formats and presents drinks service cleanly without fuss.
In a commercial setting, tableware takes significant punishment — repeated dishwasher cycles, stacking, and daily handling. The Glacier range uses a super vitrified construction with a resistant glazed finish, which gives it better durability than standard fine china and helps it hold its appearance over extended service life. Chips and crazing are less likely to develop early, which matters when you're running a consistent table presentation.
- Super vitrified body for improved chip resistance in daily commercial use
- Resistant glaze finish that holds up to repeated commercial dishwashing
- Gentle curves and neutral creamy tone that suits both classic and contemporary covers
- Consistent 155mm diameter for reliable pairing with standard commercial mugs
- Sold in packs of six, practical for topping up existing sets
These saucers are well suited to cafés, hotels, brasseries, and any operation where hot drinks form part of regular service. They work equally well front-of-house in a formal dining setting or as part of a functional café counter setup. If you're building a complete cover or matching existing Glacier pieces, it's worth checking compatibility across the range before ordering quantities.
If you'd like guidance on quantities for your covers or advice on matching pieces within the Glacier range, the team is happy to help you get the order right first time.
£49.65(£59.58 inc VAT)
The Elia Glacier espresso cup is a 100ml fine china cup finished in a soft, creamy glaze with gently curved sides. It sits within Elia's Glacier tableware range, which is designed to work across both classic and contemporary covers without looking out of place in either setting.
For coffee service, the cup's construction is the more practical consideration. It is super vitrified, meaning the body is fired to a higher density than standard porcelain, which translates directly into better resistance to chipping and cracking under the daily pressures of commercial use — stacking, machine washing, and the occasional knock on a hard worksurface. The glazed finish is resistant to surface crazing, helping the cup hold its appearance through repeated high-temperature wash cycles.
From an operational standpoint, the stackable design keeps storage manageable on busy service stations where space is rarely generous. For hospitality operators running espresso as part of a broader beverage menu, consistency of presentation matters, and the Glacier range is well suited to that requirement.
- Stackable profile supports compact storage on service stations
- Super vitrified construction resists chipping in daily commercial use
- Resistant glaze finish retains appearance through repeated machine washing
- Neutral creamy glaze works across different cover styles and table settings
These cups are sold in packs of six, which suits operators topping up an existing set or trialling the range before committing to a larger quantity. For higher-volume sites or larger beverage operations, bulk quantity options may be worth exploring.
If you are building out a new tableware set or want to confirm compatibility with your existing Glacier pieces, the team is happy to help.
£48.66(£58.39 inc VAT)
The Elia Glacier open sugar bowl is a straightforward, well-made piece of tableware designed for use within a coordinated fine china tea and coffee service. Each bowl is produced from super vitrified fine china, which gives it a harder, denser body than standard vitrified china and a smoother, more resistant glaze finish. The result is a bowl that holds up well to the repeated handling, stacking, and machine washing that comes with busy hospitality service.
In day-to-day service, the open format suits both loose sugar and sachets without any awkwardness, and the neutral creamy glaze sits comfortably on a range of table settings without drawing attention away from the food and drink being served. For operations running multiple covers per sitting, the dishwasher-safe construction means the bowls can be turned around quickly without any specialist handling.
A few practical points worth noting for operators considering the Glacier range across a wider table setting:
- Super vitrified construction resists chipping better than standard fine china under commercial use
- Resistant glaze helps maintain appearance through repeated machine washing cycles
- Microwave safe, supporting flexible service workflows
- Coordinates with the Elia Miravell and Orientix ranges for mixed-range flexibility
- Supplied in a pack of six, suited to smaller initial orders or topping up existing stock
The Glacier sugar bowl is well suited to hotels, restaurants, and café operations looking for a clean, consistent fine china look across their beverage service. If you are building out a full table setting across a larger operation or need guidance on coordinating pieces across the Elia ranges, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£61.57(£73.88 inc VAT)
The Elia Glacier mug is a 250ml fine china mug intended for professional beverage service in hotels, restaurants, cafés, and contract catering environments. Made from super vitrified china with a resistant glaze finish, it sits within Elia's broader Glacier tableware collection and is designed to coordinate across a full table setting.
Super vitrified china is a practical choice for commercial operations. The denser, harder-wearing body resists chipping and crazing better than standard earthenware or basic porcelain, which matters when mugs are cycling through a busy dishwasher many times a day. The creamy glaze and gently curved profile give a clean, neutral presentation that works across both traditional and contemporary dining settings without drawing attention away from the overall table.
From an operational standpoint, these mugs offer a few straightforward advantages:
- Dishwasher safe and microwave safe, supporting efficient turnaround during busy service periods
- Super vitrified construction holds up well under repeated commercial washing cycles
- Coordinates with the wider Elia Glacier chinaware range for a consistent table presentation
- Also compatible with the Elia Miravell and Orientix ranges for mixed collection settings
- Sold in a six-pack, which suits staged purchasing for smaller operations or top-up stock
It is worth noting that matching saucers are sold separately, so if you are planning a full cover or café-style service, factor that into your order. For high-volume operations running very large covers, it is worth considering the total quantity required against breakage rates before committing to a single pack size.
If you are building out a tableware range or matching across multiple Elia collections, the team are happy to talk through what works together before you order.

The Elia Glacier 195mm plate is a round fine china side or starter plate, finished in a soft creamy glaze with a gently curved profile. It sits within Elia's established Glacier chinaware collection, which is designed to coordinate across multiple piece types for consistent table presentation.
In service, super vitrified fine china holds up better than standard earthenware under the repeated thermal cycling of a commercial dishwasher. The resistant glaze finish helps the surface resist scratching and staining over time, which matters in operations where plates are washed and turned around many times a day. At 195mm this is a practical size for side plates, bread plates, amuse-bouche, or plated starters depending on your menu format.
- Super vitrified construction handles repeated commercial dishwasher cycles reliably
- Resistant glaze reduces surface wear and staining over time
- Microwave safe, supporting flexible front-of-house service needs
- Coordinates with Elia Glacier, Miravell, and Orientix ranges
- Soft creamy finish suits both classic and contemporary table settings
There are no particular installation considerations for tableware, but it is worth thinking about quantity. A pack of six is a sensible way to trial the range or top up existing stock, though higher-volume operations covering multiple covers per sitting will typically need to order in greater multiples to maintain a safe working par. Chipping and breakage rates vary by operation, so building in some buffer stock is worth factoring into your order.
This plate is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and event caterers looking for a durable, mid-formal china that works across a range of cover styles. If you are building out a full table setting or need to match existing Elia pieces, it is worth having a conversation with us before committing to quantities.
£82.44(£98.93 inc VAT)
The Elia Glacier range is a collection of super vitrified fine china tableware designed for professional dining service. These 270mm round plates carry a soft creamy glaze and a gently curved profile that reads as calm and considered on the table — well suited to both classic formal settings and more contemporary restaurant environments.
Super vitrified china is the standard choice for busy professional kitchens because it handles the thermal and mechanical stresses of daily commercial service reliably. The resistant glaze finish helps the plates hold their appearance through repeated dishwasher cycles, resisting chipping and surface crazing better than standard earthenware or lower-grade porcelain. At 270mm, this is a practical main course plate size that gives kitchen teams sufficient space for composed plating without feeling oversized on a standard restaurant table.
From an operational standpoint, the Glacier plates offer a few practical advantages worth noting:
- Microwave and dishwasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround during service
- Coordinates with the wider Elia Glacier chinaware collection for a consistent table lay
- Also compatible with the Elia Miravell and Orientix ranges for operators running mixed collections
- Supplied in a pack of six, suited to topping up existing stock or building a new cover set incrementally
These plates are well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, private members clubs, and similar settings where presentation standards matter and tableware needs to withstand continuous daily use. For very high-volume operations running multiple sittings, it is worth considering stock levels carefully — fine china of this type performs best when it is not cycled through the dishwasher more than necessary within a single service.
If you are building out a full cover set or matching across a collection, the team is happy to talk through quantities and range compatibility before you order.
£60.58(£72.70 inc VAT)
The Elia Glacier range is a fine china tableware collection finished in a soft, creamy glaze with gently curved profiles. The 165mm plate is a standard side plate size, well suited to bread, amuse-bouche, pre-dessert courses, or as an accompaniment plate during service. The understated aesthetic works across both classic and contemporary table settings without competing with plated food.
Fine china of this type is commonly used in restaurants, hotels, and private dining environments where presentation matters and tableware takes regular commercial punishment. The super vitrified construction makes these plates more resistant to chipping and crazing than standard earthenware, which is a practical consideration when pieces are going through a commercial dishwasher multiple times daily. The resistant glaze finish helps maintain the clean, bright appearance over time.
From an operational standpoint, a few things are worth keeping in mind:
- Super vitrified body offers improved durability under daily commercial dishwasher use
- Resistant glaze finish reduces surface crazing and staining over time
- Neutral creamy glaze suits a wide range of food presentation styles
- Sold in packs of six, making it straightforward to top up covers as needed
- Consistent shape and glaze across the Glacier range supports mixed-course table settings
These plates are best suited to restaurants, hotels, or event caterers looking for a clean, refined side plate that holds up under regular service conditions. If you are equipping a high-turnover operation or need to build a larger cover count quickly, it is worth considering how many packs you will realistically need to maintain a full set through service and washing cycles simultaneously.
If you are building out a full table setting or matching pieces across courses, the team are happy to help you work out quantities and check range compatibility before you order.
£37.74(£45.29 inc VAT)
The Elia Glacier range is a line of fine china tableware designed for professional dining service. These 210mm round plates are produced from super vitrified china, which gives them a denser, harder body than standard porcelain — making them more resistant to chipping and cracking under the daily stresses of commercial use. The soft creamy glaze and gently curved profile keep the aesthetic clean and unfussy, sitting comfortably alongside both traditional and contemporary table settings.
In practical service terms, super vitrified china holds up well to high-volume dishwasher cycles without significant glaze degradation over time. The resistant glazed finish reduces surface crazing, which matters both for hygiene and for maintaining a presentable appearance across a long product life. The plates are also microwave safe, which offers flexibility in certain service styles where finishing or holding is required.
- Super vitrified construction resists chipping during busy service and pot wash handling
- Resistant glazed finish reduces crazing and surface wear over time
- Microwave and commercial dishwasher safe for flexible service use
- Coordinates with the wider Elia Glacier, Miravell, and Orientix collections
- Neutral creamy glaze suits a broad range of food presentation styles
These plates are sold in packs of four, which suits operators building stock gradually or replacing breakages within an existing Glacier cover set. For larger openings or full cover builds, it is worth considering quantity requirements carefully before ordering, as mixing batches across time can occasionally introduce minor glaze tone variations.
The 210mm size works well as a starter or side plate, or as a main plate in smaller portion or tasting menu formats. Operations running larger main course portions may find a bigger plate from the Glacier range more appropriate for presentation.
If you are building a full table setting or matching into an existing collection, we are happy to talk through the range and help you get the right pieces in the right quantities.
£26.81(£32.17 inc VAT)
The Elia Glacier cereal bowl is a fine china piece finished in a soft, creamy glaze with gently curved sides. It sits within Elia's Glacier range, which is designed around a clean, understated aesthetic that works equally well in classic and contemporary dining settings. The bowl is super vitrified, meaning the clay body has been fired to a higher density than standard porcelain, and it carries a resistant glaze finish.
In practical terms, super vitrified china holds up considerably better under the daily demands of commercial service than standard earthenware or lower-grade porcelain. The denser body is more resistant to chipping along the rim and foot, and the glaze is formulated to retain its appearance through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. For breakfast operations in particular — where crockery turns over quickly and handling volumes are high — that durability matters.
- Hard-wearing super vitrified construction suited to high-turnover breakfast service
- Resistant glaze finish maintains appearance through repeated dishwasher cycles
- Gentle curved profile works well for both cereal and small dessert presentations
- Neutral creamy glaze complements a wide range of table linen and décor schemes
- Consistent sizing within the Glacier range supports coordinated table covers
This bowl is a practical choice for hotels, cafés, bed and breakfasts, and restaurant breakfast services where a clean, presentable china piece is needed without an overly decorative or branded aesthetic. It is sold in a pack of four, which suits smaller operations or those building stock gradually. For larger openings or high-volume breakfast services requiring significant cover counts, it is worth discussing quantity requirements before ordering.
If you are building out a full table setting or matching across a range, our team are happy to help you work through the pieces that fit together — just get in touch before you order.
£48.66(£58.39 inc VAT)
The Elia Glacier plate is a 240mm round fine china plate finished in a soft creamy glaze with a gently curved profile. It sits within Elia's broader Glacier collection and is designed to coordinate with their Miravell and Orientix ranges, making it a practical choice for operators who want a consistent table presentation across a mixed chinaware selection.
Made from super vitrified fine china with a resistant glazed finish, the Glacier plate is built to withstand the demands of regular commercial dishwashing without losing its appearance over time. Vitrified china is a standard specification in professional foodservice for good reason — it holds up well under the thermal and mechanical stresses of busy covers, and the glazed surface resists staining and crazing with correct handling.
For front-of-house use, the understated finish works across a range of dining styles from traditional to contemporary, and the 240mm size is well suited to main course plating in most service formats. The plate is microwave safe, which adds flexibility in operations where finishing or holding dishes quickly is part of the workflow.
Sold in packs of four, this format suits operators building stock gradually, replacing breakages, or supplementing an existing Glacier setting. For larger initial builds or high-turnover covers, it is worth considering whether a higher-volume pack size would be more practical.
If you are putting together a full table setting or are unsure which Elia range best fits your style of service, our team is happy to help you work through the options.
£74.49(£89.39 inc VAT)
The Elia Glacier rice bowl is a straightforward, well-finished piece of fine china tableware designed for use in professional dining environments. Made from super vitrified fine china with a resistant glazed finish, it is built to withstand the daily handling, stacking, and repeated dishwasher cycles that come with busy restaurant or hotel service.
In practice, super vitrified china holds up noticeably better than standard porcelain under the pressures of regular commercial use — it is more resistant to chipping along the rim and crazing on the glaze surface, both of which become an issue over time with lesser-grade tableware. The Glacier bowl's soft creamy finish and curved profile present cleanly on the table without being fussy, which suits a broad range of dining styles from casual dining through to more formal settings.
- Dishwasher safe — supports efficient turnaround across multiple sittings
- Microwave safe — useful where dishes are finished or held to order
- Coordinates with the wider Elia Glacier chinaware collection
- Compatible with the Elia Miravell and Orientix ranges for mixed-collection flexibility
These bowls are sold in a pack of six, which suits operators topping up an existing Glacier service rather than outfitting from scratch. For sites equipping a full cover count, it is worth considering how many packs are needed to maintain adequate stock through service, breakage, and wash cycles simultaneously.
If you are building out a full tableware specification or matching across multiple ranges, the team is happy to help you work through quantities and coordination before you order.
£73.49(£88.19 inc VAT)
The Elia Glacier rimmed pasta bowl is a 240mm super vitrified fine china piece finished in a soft, creamy glaze with gently curved sides. It is designed to serve both pasta and soup in a formal or smart-casual dining setting, and the rimmed profile provides a clean border that supports confident plating and portion presentation.
Super vitrified china is considerably more durable than standard earthenware or porcelain, making it a practical choice for busy restaurant, hotel, and events catering environments where crockery passes through commercial dishwashers repeatedly and stacking during storage and transport is unavoidable. The resistant glazed finish helps maintain the bowl's appearance over extended service life, reducing early replacement costs.
For front-of-house teams, the consistent creamy white finish works equally well against crisp linen and more relaxed table settings, and the neutral glaze does not compete with the food being presented. The rimmed format also makes it easier for servers to carry and place bowls confidently during service.
- Super vitrified construction for improved chip and crack resistance
- Resistant glaze finish holds up well to repeated commercial dishwashing
- Rimmed profile supports clean, controlled food presentation
- Neutral creamy glaze suits both classic and contemporary covers
- Sold in a pack of six, practical for building or topping up service stocks
If you are building out a new cover count or matching to an existing Elia Glacier range, it is worth considering the full depth of the collection to maintain consistency across courses. For very high-volume operations running multiple sittings, it may be worth discussing heavier stock quantities or alternative ranges with greater chip resistance suited to high-throughput environments.
If you are unsure whether the Glacier range is the right fit for your cover style or service volume, the team is happy to help you work through it.
£32.76(£39.31 inc VAT)
The Elia Glacier sauce boats are a compact, two-piece addition to the Glacier fine china range — a consistently popular choice for restaurants, hotels, and private dining operations looking for tableware that holds up in daily service without sacrificing appearance. The softly curved form and creamy glaze sit comfortably alongside both classic and contemporary table settings, and the 95ml capacity is well suited to individual portion service of gravies, sauces, dressings, and cream.
In practical terms, fine china tableware takes a great deal of handling across a service — stacking, loading through commercial dishwashers, and the general wear of a busy pass. The Glacier range is produced to a super vitrified standard, which means the body is considerably denser and more resistant to chipping than standard earthenware or lower-grade china. The resistant glazed finish also helps maintain a clean, presentable surface over repeated wash cycles, which matters when tableware is in rotation across multiple covers per sitting.
A few things worth considering when selecting sauce boats at this size: the 95ml capacity suits individual plated service well, but for table-sharing formats or larger portion requirements, a bigger vessel would be more practical. As with all fine china, correct handling and storage remains important — super vitrified construction improves durability, but it does not make the pieces indestructible.
These sauce boats are well suited to à la carte restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and catering operations where consistent presentation is expected and tableware is laundered commercially on a regular basis.
If you're building out a full table setting or need to match existing Glacier pieces, feel free to get in touch — we're happy to help you work out quantities and check availability across the range.
£140.00(£168.00 inc VAT)
The Elia Glacier rimmed pasta bowl is a fine china piece finished in a soft, creamy glaze with gentle, rounded curves. It sits comfortably within both classic and contemporary table settings and is designed to serve as a clean, neutral backdrop for plated food rather than competing with the presentation itself.
In service, the super vitrified construction offers the kind of durability that operators need from a piece handled repeatedly across covers — resistant to chipping and crazing under the thermal stresses of a busy pass and commercial dishwasher cycles. The resistant glaze finish helps maintain a consistent appearance over time, which matters when a table of eight all need matching bowls that still look the part after a year of use.
- Neutral creamy glaze suits a wide range of plating styles
- Rimmed profile supports sauced and garnished pasta dishes
- Super vitrified body handles repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
- Sold as a pack of six, practical for building or topping up covers
- Consistent finish across the Glacier range for mixed table settings
These bowls are well suited to restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining rooms where a refined but unfussy aesthetic is the aim. They are not a specialist high-volume catering piece — operators running very high cover counts may want to consider heavier-gauge alternatives — but for quality-led table service they represent a practical, reliable choice.
If you are building a full cover set or want to discuss quantities, our team is happy to help you work through what you need.
