Product Description
The Steelite Bead Black Band cup is a vitrified china stacking cup from Steelite's Bead range, featuring a distinctive black colour band as a design detail. At 200ml, it sits comfortably in the standard espresso-based drink category, suitable for cappuccinos, flat whites, and similar café-style beverages. The stacking design keeps storage compact, which is a practical consideration in any busy back-of-house or counter environment.
Vitrified china is a practical choice for commercial tableware. It is appreciably harder and more chip-resistant than standard earthenware, which matters when cups are being handled at volume across multiple sittings throughout the day. The black band detail holds up well through commercial dishwasher cycles without the fading that can affect on-glaze decoration over time.
From an operational standpoint, these cups offer a few straightforward advantages:
- Stacking profile reduces storage footprint at the counter or in a cupboard
- Vitrified construction handles the thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers reliably
- Consistent sizing supports portion control and presentation standards across a team
- The black band provides a clean visual finish that works across both traditional and contemporary dining settings
These cups are sold in packs of 12, which suits operators looking to build or replenish stock incrementally. For higher-volume sites running multiple sittings or large banqueting covers, buying in greater multiples is worth considering to maintain a serviceable float through peak periods.
If you are building out a full table setting or matching these cups to other pieces in the Bead range, the team is happy to help you work through quantities and compatibility before you place an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Vitrified china is the standard material for commercial tableware precisely because it withstands the high temperatures and detergents used in commercial dishwashers. The black band is part of the glaze construction rather than an on-glaze print, which gives it better longevity through repeated wash cycles.
- This depends on your cover count, sitting frequency, and dishwasher turnaround time. A reasonable rule of thumb is to hold two to three times your peak sitting cover count in cups, accounting for items in use, in the wash, and in storage. If you are unsure what that looks like for your operation, the team can help you work through the numbers.
- The Bead Black Band range is designed as a coordinated collection, so saucers, plates, and other hollowware within the same range are intended to work together. If you are building a full table setting or need to confirm which pieces are compatible, it is worth speaking with the team before ordering to make sure everything matches correctly.
