Product Description
These saucers are part of the Steelite Vesuvius range, produced in alumina vitrified ceramic with a distinctive amber reactive glaze finish. The reactive glazing process means each piece carries subtle variations in colour and tone, giving the range a handcrafted character while still being manufactured to consistent commercial standards. At 152mm, the saucer is sized to pair with standard tea and coffee cups used across café, restaurant, and hotel beverage service.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a practical choice for commercial front-of-house use. It is denser and more resistant to chipping than standard earthenware, and it holds up well to the repetitive handling, stacking, and warewashing cycles that are part of daily service. The amber glaze contributes a warm, earthy aesthetic that works well with relaxed dining formats, speciality coffee settings, and establishments that favour natural or artisan presentation styles.
A few practical points worth noting: the reactive glaze will show variation between pieces, which is characteristic of the range rather than a quality issue. As with all glazed ceramics, care should be taken with abrasive cleaning products that could dull the surface over time. The pack quantity of 12 suits operators looking to supplement an existing set or introduce the range before committing to larger volumes.
If you are building a full table setting around the Vesuvius range or want to discuss which cup and saucer combinations work best for your service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-regarded material for commercial use, offering better chip resistance than standard ceramics and the ability to withstand frequent warewashing. For very high-volume sites with significant daily cover counts, it is worth assessing whether your current warewashing setup handles ceramics gently enough to protect the glaze finish over time.
- Yes — the reactive glaze process is intentionally variable, meaning each piece will carry its own subtle differences in tone and depth. This is a characteristic of the range design rather than inconsistency in manufacture, and most operators find it adds to the visual appeal of the presentation.
- The Vesuvius range has been designed with cross-compatibility in mind, and it is worth checking cup dimensions against the 152mm saucer size before mixing ranges. If you are building a table setting that draws from multiple Steelite collections, the team can advise on which combinations work well together in practice.
