£140.00(£168.00 inc VAT)
The Steelite Brown Dapple Essence Bowl is a straight-sided ceramic bowl finished with a distinctive brown-rimmed dapple glaze. It sits within Steelite's broader Brown Dapple range, which means it coordinates cleanly with other pieces from the same collection — useful where operators want a consistent table setting across courses without resorting to a formal all-white cover.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, the bowl is built to cope with the demands of regular commercial service. The vitrified construction gives it good resistance to chipping and crazing under repeated thermal cycling, which matters when bowls are moving from dishwasher to service and back several times a day. The glossy glaze wipes down easily and holds its appearance well with routine machine washing.
In practical terms, this bowl works well across a range of service styles:
- Suited to casual dining, bistro, and café environments where a relaxed aesthetic is intentional
- Dishwasher safe for high-turnover covers without special handling requirements
- Microwave safe, allowing re-heating without transferring to separate serviceware
- Coordinates with other Brown Dapple pieces for a cohesive table presentation
- Sold in packs of 24, making it practical to stock an opening set or top up breakages
The 140mm diameter positions this as a starter, dessert, or side bowl rather than a main course piece. For operations needing larger serving capacity across the same aesthetic, other sizes are available within the Steelite Brown Dapple range. It is worth considering whether the brown-rimmed finish suits your existing table linen and furniture tones before committing to a full cover quantity.
If you are building out a new cover or want to discuss how the Brown Dapple range fits alongside your existing serviceware, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
£169.00(£202.80 inc VAT)
The Steelite Brown Dapple Essence Bowl is a straight-sided ceramic bowl from Steelite's Brown Dapple range, distinguished by its characteristic flecked brown rim detail. At 165mm in diameter, it sits comfortably as a mid-sized bowl suitable for a range of covers — cereals, soups, side salads, desserts, and small sharing portions all work well in this format. The rustic, informal aesthetic makes it a natural fit for casual dining environments where operators want to move away from plain white without committing to heavily patterned tableware.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these bowls are built to withstand the daily rigours of commercial service. Alumina vitrification produces a denser, harder body than standard ceramic, which translates directly to better chip resistance at the rim and base — the areas that take the most punishment in a busy wash cycle or during stacking. For front-of-house teams handling high cover volumes, that durability matters over the course of months and years of use.
- Dishwasher safe and suitable for commercial glasswashers and rack conveyor machines
- Microwave safe, supporting reheating workflows where required
- Coordinates with the wider Brown Dapple range, including plates and side plates
- Sold in a pack of 24, suited to batch purchasing for new openings or restocking
- Consistent glaze finish supports a uniform table presentation across covers
The 165mm size works well as a mid-range option within the Essence bowl format. Operators needing a smaller portion bowl or a larger serving bowl will find other sizes available within the same range, allowing a coordinated table set across different courses or portion sizes.
If you're building a new table cover scheme around the Brown Dapple range or want guidance on quantities for your cover count, we're happy to talk it through.
£337.00(£404.40 inc VAT)
The Steelite Essence Bowl from the Brown Dapple range is a straight-sided, multipurpose bowl finished with a flecked brown rim that gives it a relaxed, informal character. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it is a practical choice for operators who need tableware that holds up under the demands of regular commercial service without looking out of place in a considered front-of-house setting.
In day-to-day service, alumina vitrified ceramic performs well in high-turnover environments. It resists chipping better than standard porcelain and handles repeated dishwasher cycles without significant glaze degradation over time, which matters when bowls are being washed and turned around multiple times across a busy shift. The straight-sided profile also stacks efficiently, which is a practical consideration when storage space behind the pass or in the servery is limited.
From an operational standpoint, the Brown Dapple range suits environments where a relaxed, artisan aesthetic is part of the offer — cafés, bistros, casual dining restaurants, and hotel breakfast service are all settings where this style works naturally. The bowl is also microwave safe, which gives kitchen teams flexibility in service where individual portions need to be reheated quickly without transferring to separate crockery.
This bowl is sold as a pack of 24, which suits most opening orders or replenishment stock for small to medium covers. For larger operations or those running the Brown Dapple range across multiple table sizes, it is worth considering how the bowl coordinates with plates and side plates from the same range to maintain consistency across the table.
If you are building a full table setting or are unsure how many covers a pack of 24 will realistically support given your service style, the team is happy to help you work through the numbers.
£76.78(£92.14 inc VAT)
The Steelite Brown Dapple cup is a compact, multi-purpose piece designed for bouillon, soup, or sugar service. At 220ml, it sits comfortably between a standard espresso cup and a full soup bowl, making it a practical choice wherever a smaller, controlled portion is appropriate. The Brown Dapple pattern features an earthy, textured glaze with a narrow brown border along the rolled edge — understated enough to complement a range of table settings without dominating them.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these cups are built to withstand the rigours of commercial service. Alumina vitrification produces a denser, harder body than standard earthenware, which translates to better resistance to chipping, thermal shock, and the wear that comes with repeated dishwasher cycles. Steelite's commercial tableware is widely used in restaurants, hotel dining rooms, cafés, and self-service operations where durability and consistent presentation matter.
From an operational standpoint, the Brown Dapple range offers a few practical advantages:
- Compact footprint suits smaller covers and tray-service layouts
- Rolled edge reduces chipping in high-turnover service
- Consistent glaze finish supports a tidy, uniform table presentation
- Dishwasher-safe construction keeps turnaround times short during busy service
As with any ceramic tableware, it is worth considering how these cups will be stored and handled between services — stacking too high without appropriate racks increases the risk of breakage. If you are kitting out a larger operation or replacing an existing pattern, it is sensible to confirm compatibility with your current Steelite range before ordering.
These cups are well suited to cafés, bistros, hotel restaurants, and canteen-style operations looking for reliable, commercially graded crockery with a warm, natural aesthetic. If your service volume demands a heavier stock of crockery or a larger cup capacity, other sizes within the Brown Dapple range may be worth considering.
If you are unsure which pieces best suit your service style or you are building out a full table setting, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
£116.00(£139.20 inc VAT)
These small unhandled jugs from Steelite's Brown Dapple range are designed for individual milk or cream service at the table. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, they offer the kind of durability that holds up well in a busy front-of-house environment, resisting chipping and crazing through daily service and regular warewashing cycles.
In practice, the unhandled design keeps table layouts and tray arrangements tighter — useful where covers are close and space on the pass is limited. The 85ml capacity is well suited to individual portion service, whether that's a splash of milk alongside a filter coffee or a small measure of cream with dessert. The earthy, dappled glaze sits comfortably in settings that lean toward a natural or rustic aesthetic without looking overly styled.
- Dishwasher-safe construction holds up through repeated commercial warewashing
- Compact footprint suits tight table settings and tray service
- Alumina vitrified ceramic resists chipping under daily front-of-house use
- Consistent portion size supports standardised beverage presentation
- Pack of 12 provides practical cover for breakages and rotation
These jugs are microwave safe, which may be useful where warm milk is served to order. Being unhandled, they do retain heat briefly, so staff should be aware of this when handling immediately after microwaving.
The Brown Dapple range is a reasonable fit for independent cafés, bistros, and restaurants where a relaxed, natural table aesthetic is part of the offer. If you're equipping a higher-volume operation and need to consider larger pack sizes or alternative glazes, it's worth having a conversation with us to make sure the range aligns with your service style and volume requirements.
£149.00(£178.80 inc VAT)
The Steelite Brown Dapple milk jug is a compact, single-serve piece designed for tea and coffee service in cafés, restaurants, and hotel dining. At 140ml capacity, it holds a practical amount of milk for one — enough for a pot of tea or a single coffee without encouraging over-pouring or waste. The curved spout and angled handle are shaped for controlled, drip-free pouring, which matters when staff are working quickly during a busy service.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these jugs are built to hold up in commercial environments. The material resists chipping better than standard earthenware and can handle the repeated thermal cycling of professional dishwashers. The Brown Dapple glaze finish is consistent across Steelite's wider range, making it straightforward to coordinate with matching tableware where a cohesive table setting matters.
Practically speaking, a pack of twelve gives a working par for small to medium operations, and the compact footprint means they store efficiently without taking up shelf space disproportionate to their use.
- Compact size reduces over-pouring and milk waste at the table
- Drip-free spout supports clean, efficient service during busy periods
- Dishwasher-safe construction suits high-turnover table clearing
- Coordinates with other pieces in the Steelite Brown Dapple range
- Pack of 12 provides a sensible opening par for most operations
If you're building or refreshing a tableware range and want to talk through quantities or matching pieces, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.
£179.00(£214.80 inc VAT)
These 350ml beverage pots are part of Steelite's Brown Dapple range, manufactured in alumina vitrified ceramic — a material widely used in commercial hospitality for its resistance to chipping and its ability to withstand the repeated thermal and mechanical stress of a busy service environment. The Brown Dapple glaze gives the range a distinctive, tactile finish that sits comfortably in informal dining, café, and hotel breakfast settings where a warmer aesthetic is preferred over plain white.
At 350ml, each pot is well suited to a single generous serve or a two-cup pour, making them practical for table service where guests typically order tea or coffee by the pot. The consistent sizing across the pack of six helps streamline front-of-house service and reduces confusion during busy periods.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic construction resists chipping under daily commercial use
- Suitable for commercial dishwashers, supporting high-turnover service
- Matches cups and saucers within the Steelite Brown Dapple range
- Supplied in a pack of six for consistent table presentation
- 350ml capacity suited to single or two-cup service by the pot
These pots are rated for commercial dishwashing, which is an important practical consideration — hand-wash-only pieces rarely survive long in a working kitchen. The alumina vitrified ceramic body also offers reasonable longevity compared to standard earthenware, though as with any ceramic hollowware, careful handling during clearing and stacking will extend service life.
These pots are best suited to cafés, hotel dining rooms, tearooms, and restaurants that serve hot drinks by the pot as part of their front-of-house offer. They work as part of a coordinated Brown Dapple table setting. For higher-volume operations requiring larger pots or greater pack quantities, it is worth discussing your full requirements before ordering.
If you are building out a new crockery range or matching existing Brown Dapple pieces, we are happy to help you work through quantities and combinations — just get in touch.
£155.00(£186.00 inc VAT)
The Steelite Brown Dapple saucer is part of a cohesive tableware collection designed for commercial beverage service. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it pairs naturally with Brown Dapple cups and mugs to give a consistent, considered look across the table. The brown dapple detailing sits against a classic white ground, giving a subtly earthy quality that works well in café, bistro, and casual dining environments without looking contrived.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a practical choice for front-of-house use. It is harder and denser than standard porcelain, which translates to better resistance to chipping and crazing under the daily handling that comes with busy service — stacking, rapid clearing, and repeated dishwasher cycles. The glaze is damage-resistant and holds its appearance well over time, which matters when you are running a full complement of covers and cannot afford tableware that looks tired after a few months.
- Durable alumina vitrified ceramic construction resists chipping and crazing
- Damage-resistant glaze maintains appearance through repeated service cycles
- Dishwasher safe for efficient, high-throughput cleaning
- Brown dapple detailing coordinates across the full Steelite collection
- Sold in packs of 12, suited to topping up existing stock
These saucers are sold in packs of 12, which suits operators looking to supplement an existing Brown Dapple service or build initial stock. For larger openings or high-turnover sites, it is worth considering how many covers you need to run simultaneously and building your order accordingly.
If you are building out a full beverage service or matching to existing Steelite pieces, the team is happy to talk through quantities and coordinating items.
£179.00(£214.80 inc VAT)
The Steelite Brown Dapple saucer is part of an established tableware collection built around a distinctive cream body with a warm brown decorative detail. At 150mm, these saucers are sized to accompany standard teacups and coffee cups within the same range, presenting a coherent, professional look across a beverage service.
Steelite manufactures these saucers in alumina vitrified ceramic, a material chosen specifically for the demands of commercial catering environments. The alumina content increases the density and strength of the ceramic body, making it more resistant to chipping and cracking through the daily handling, stacking, and machine washing that commercial tableware must withstand. The damage-resistant glaze protects both the finish and the decoration over extended service life.
For operations running busy beverage covers, the practical advantages of this material and construction are worth noting:
- Alumina vitrified ceramic body resists chipping under heavy daily use
- Damage-resistant glaze maintains appearance through repeated machine washing
- Sold in packs of 36, keeping par levels manageable for most café or restaurant settings
- Consistent sizing supports neat stacking and efficient storage
- Part of the broader Brown Dapple collection for cohesive table presentation
These saucers are well suited to hotels, cafés, restaurants, and contract catering operations where beverage service is a regular part of the offer. The pack quantity of 36 is practical for most mid-sized operations, though higher-volume sites may want to consider stocking multiple packs to maintain cover through peak periods and allow for breakage over time.
If you are building out or refreshing a beverage service and want to talk through quantities or how this collection fits alongside other tableware on the range, the team is happy to help.
£217.00(£260.40 inc VAT)
The Steelite Brown Dapple Quench Mug is a glazed alumina vitrified ceramic mug designed for café and hospitality use. At 285ml, it sits comfortably in the standard filter coffee and flat white range, and the brown dapple finish gives it a warm, tactile quality that works well in settings where presentation contributes to the guest experience.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a practical choice for front-of-house beverage service. It holds heat well, resists chipping better than standard earthenware, and is suited to the repeated handling and commercial dishwasher cycles that come with busy café or restaurant service. The Quench shape has a sturdy base and a classically proportioned handle, which helps with both stacking and day-to-day handling by staff.
This pack of 24 makes it a sensible opening order for a small café or a useful top-up for an established operation. Key practical points worth noting:
- Alumina vitrified ceramic construction for durability in commercial use
- Suitable for commercial dishwashers
- Brown dapple glaze with consistent finish across the batch
- Classically shaped handle supports comfortable handling and stable stacking
- Compatible with Steelite saucers for a coordinated table setting
The brown dapple finish does carry a distinct aesthetic. It suits relaxed, informal dining environments and independent coffee shops well, but may not be the right fit for every brand or table style. It is worth considering how it sits alongside your existing crockery before committing to a full set.
If you are building out a full beverage service or want to discuss quantities and compatibility with other Steelite ranges, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£76.78(£92.14 inc VAT)
The Steelite Brown Dapple cup is a small espresso-size cup from Steelite's Brown Dapple tableware range. It holds approximately 80ml, making it suitable for espresso and short coffee serves. The defining visual feature is the dark brown dappled detailing around the upper rim, which gives the piece a warm, informal character without being fussy. The cream body sits comfortably alongside a wide range of saucers and side plates within the same range.
Built from alumina vitrified ceramic, these cups are designed to hold up under the repetitive daily use typical of a busy café or coffee shop environment. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a recognised choice for commercial tableware because it resists chipping better than standard porcelain and tolerates the thermal cycling of a commercial dishwasher over time. For an operation running multiple sittings a day, that durability matters in terms of breakage rates and replacement costs.
- Consistent glaze and dapple finish supports a coherent table setting
- Dishwasher-safe construction suited to high-turnover café service
- Sold in packs of 12, practical for stocking to service volume
- Compact size keeps table footprint small during busy covers
These cups are best suited to cafés, coffee shops, and hospitality venues that want a relaxed, artisan aesthetic rather than a formal fine-dining look. The pack size of 12 works well for smaller independent operators; larger sites with high covers may want to consider buying multiple packs or a larger-format pack if available in the range.
If you're building out a full table setting or want to confirm how the Brown Dapple range fits your existing service style, the team is happy to help.
£227.00(£272.40 inc VAT)
The Steelite Brown Dapple cup is a 170ml vitrified ceramic cup with a distinctive brown-rimmed dapple finish. It sits within Steelite's established earthenware-style range and is designed to bring a warm, rustic aesthetic to hot beverage service without compromising on the durability expected in commercial use.
In day-to-day service, alumina vitrified ceramic handles the thermal cycling of a busy café environment well. These cups pass through commercial dishwashers repeatedly without significant crazing or colour fade, which matters when you're turning a pack of 36 through multiple sittings each day. The finish holds up reliably under normal front-of-house handling.
From an operational standpoint, the Brown Dapple range offers a few practical advantages worth noting:
- Alumina vitrified ceramic construction gives genuine chip resistance for commercial use
- Dishwasher safe, supporting fast turnaround between sittings
- Consistent glaze finish across the pack suits uniform table presentation
- The 170ml size works well for espresso-based drinks and standard teas
- Pack of 36 gives a useful opening stock level for smaller venues
There are no complex installation considerations here, but it is worth thinking about storage — 36 cups require adequate shelving, and the collective pack weight should be factored into any shelving load assessments. The 170ml capacity is well suited to coffee and tea service but may feel small for venues serving large-format drinks such as lattes in tall cups.
This range suits independent cafés, tearooms, and hospitality venues where a natural, handcrafted aesthetic is part of the customer experience. For higher-volume operations needing larger cup capacities or greater pack quantities, other options in the catalogue may be worth considering.
If you're building a full table setting around a particular look, or unsure whether this size fits your menu, feel free to get in touch — it's the sort of detail that's easier to get right before ordering than after.
£241.00(£289.20 inc VAT)
The Steelite Brown Dapple Cup is an alumina vitrified ceramic cup finished with a distinctive dark dappled rim and a clean white interior. The Brown Dapple range is designed to carry a consistent rustic aesthetic across a full table setting, making it straightforward to build a coordinated look across a café or restaurant cover.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a practical choice for front-of-house cup service. It offers good thermal retention for hot beverages and handles the mechanical stresses of daily commercial use well — including the repeated loading and unloading cycles of a commercial dishwasher. The glaze holds its appearance over time without the fading or crazing that cheaper ceramics can show after heavy use.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Dishwasher safe, reducing handling time and supporting high-turnover service
- Consistent glaze finish across a pack of 36, reducing visible mismatches on the pass
- Coordinates with other pieces in the Brown Dapple range for a unified table presentation
- 220ml capacity suits standard espresso-based drinks and filter coffee service
- Robust enough for everyday stacking and racking without specialist handling
A pack of 36 is a reasonable opening quantity for a small to medium café or coffee counter. For higher-volume sites running multiple sittings or a large cover count, a larger opening order is worth considering to allow for attrition over time. The Brown Dapple range extends across additional pieces if you are looking to match across a full setting.
If you are uncertain how many to order based on your cover count and turnaround, or want to check compatibility with other Brown Dapple pieces, the team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.
£309.00(£370.80 inc VAT)
The Steelite Brown Dapple cup is a straightforward commercial cup built for everyday hot drinks service. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it carries the robustness expected of Steelite's catering-grade range — material known for its resistance to chipping and its ability to withstand the repeated thermal and mechanical stress of a working café or restaurant environment.
In day-to-day service the cup handles well, holding its finish through continuous dishwasher cycles without the crazing or dulling that affects lower-grade ceramics over time. The dapple glaze finish has a practical side too: the darker, flecked tone disguises minor surface wear and suits presentation of drinks with a dusted or layered finish, such as cappuccinos or hot chocolates. At 285ml it sits comfortably in the standard flat white and cappuccino range.
Selling in packs of 36 makes these practical for initial openings or topping up stock across a busy counter without frequent reordering. Key operational points worth noting:
- Alumina vitrified ceramic construction resists chipping under commercial use
- Dishwasher safe and rated for repeated commercial wash cycles
- Dapple finish suited to dusted or layered hot drink presentation
- Pack of 36 supports counter-level stock management
- Available in other sizes within the Brown Dapple range
These cups are well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, and restaurant beverage services running steady volume. For very high-throughput operations going through significant cup attrition, it's worth considering whether a heavier pack quantity or a complementary saucer pairing fits your setup.
If you're building out a full hot drinks range or want to confirm the right size and pack count for your service, our team is happy to help you work through it.
£217.00(£260.40 inc VAT)
The Steelite Brown Dapple cup is a 350ml ceramic cup finished in a warm, textured glaze with a dark flecked rim. It sits comfortably in the hand and presents well beneath milk-based drinks, hot chocolates, and filter coffees where a natural, earthy aesthetic suits the venue's look. This is a straightforward, well-made cup — not a fashion piece, but a reliable piece of tableware designed to hold up in daily commercial service.
Steelite produces this cup in alumina vitrified ceramic, a denser and harder-wearing material than standard vitrified china. In practice, that translates to better resistance to chipping along the rim and base — the areas that take the most punishment in a busy café or coffee shop environment. Cups in this range are routinely used across multiple dishwasher cycles daily without significant glaze degradation under normal service conditions.
Practical considerations worth noting:
- Dishwasher safe and suited to commercial glasswasher cycles
- Alumina vitrified ceramic offers improved chip resistance over standard porcelain
- The Brown Dapple glaze is consistent across the range, allowing mixed use with matching Steelite pieces
- Sold in a pack of 24, which suits a typical café opening stock or a straightforward top-up order
- The 350ml capacity is appropriate for standard flat whites, cappuccinos, and medium-sized teas
This cup is best suited to cafés, coffee shops, and casual dining venues where a rustic or artisan aesthetic fits the brand. It is less likely to suit formal dining or hotel environments where a more refined finish would be expected. For higher-volume sites needing a larger pack format or a full range coordination across cup sizes, it is worth reviewing the broader Brown Dapple collection.
If you are building out a new café or replacing existing stock and want to make sure the sizing and range works across your menu, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to talk through what tends to work in practice.
£214.00(£256.80 inc VAT)
The Steelite Brown Dapple Square Plate combines a contemporary square format with a hand-crafted dappled glaze finish that gives each piece a subtle rustic character. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these plates are built to the commercial durability standards Steelite is known for, and are sold in packs of six to support practical re-stocking in a working environment.
In service, the low-rim square profile provides a generous, flat presentation area — well suited to modern plating styles where chefs want clean lines and visual space around the food. The brown dapple finish works particularly well in casual dining, bistro, and farm-to-table concepts where operators want tableware that feels considered without feeling formal. The alumina vitrified ceramic construction is resistant to chipping and thermal shock under normal commercial use, and the plates are suitable for both dishwasher and microwave use.
- Square low-rim profile gives chefs a clean, open canvas for plating
- Brown dapple glaze adds rustic character that suits informal dining concepts
- Alumina vitrified ceramic offers reliable chip resistance in daily commercial use

The Steelite Brown Dapple Rectangle Three is a rectangular sharing plate finished in an earthy, textured glaze. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it sits within Steelite's Brown Dapple range and is designed to complement the broader collection on the table. The rectangular format and natural tonal finish make it a practical choice for operators who want to present sharing dishes, small plates, or composed starters with a degree of visual character.
In service, Steelite's alumina vitrified ceramic is well regarded for its resilience in busy commercial environments. The material is notably harder and more chip-resistant than standard porcelain, which matters on a plate that will be handled frequently and cycled through a commercial dishwasher many times over the course of a week. The Brown Dapple glaze holds its appearance well under regular use, avoiding the faded or worn look that affects some decorative finishes over time.
From an operational standpoint, this plate offers a few practical advantages worth noting:
- Dishwasher safe and suitable for microwave use
- Chip-resistant alumina vitrified ceramic construction
- Rectangular format suits sharing plates, mezze, and casual dining presentation
- Part of a coordinated range, allowing mixed table settings within the same collection
- Supplied in a pack of 6, suited to batch ordering for new covers or topping up stock
The plate is sized for sharing portions rather than individual main course service, so it is worth considering your menu format before ordering in volume. It is well suited to casual dining, wine bars, and informal restaurant concepts where an earthy, natural aesthetic fits the look. For operators running a more formal or high-volume main course service, other formats within the Brown Dapple range or a rounder plate profile may be more appropriate.
If you are building a table setting around the Brown Dapple range or want guidance on which pieces work best together for your service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Steelite Brown Dapple pizza plate is a 315mm round plate designed to present a standard 12-inch pizza in a restaurant or pizzeria setting. It is made from alumina vitrified ceramic, a material well regarded in commercial tableware for its resistance to chipping and its ability to withstand the thermal stresses of repeated oven use and commercial dishwasher cycles. The gloss white body is finished with a brown dappled rim detail, giving the piece a grounded, contemporary feel that works well in casual dining, Italian restaurant, and pub kitchen environments.
In a busy service environment, durability matters as much as appearance. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a practical choice for operators who put tableware through high-frequency wash cycles and need plates that retain their finish over time. The Brown Dapple range is designed to coordinate across different piece types, so the pizza plate can be used alongside matching side plates for consistent presentation across the table.
- Suitable for use in commercial ovens and dishwashers
- Chip-resistant alumina vitrified ceramic construction
- Coordinating Brown Dapple range available for full table settings
- Gloss white finish with brown dapple rim detail
- Sold in packs of six — practical for stocking a section
It is worth confirming that your plate storage and pass setup can comfortably accommodate the 315mm diameter before ordering, particularly in tighter kitchen layouts. The pack-of-six format suits operators building or topping up stock incrementally.
This plate is well suited to restaurants, pizzerias, and pub kitchens with a regular pizza offering. If you are fitting out a larger operation or building a full table setting, it is worth discussing your full tableware requirements with us to make sure the range works together across all covers.

The Steelite Brown Dapple Coupe Bowl is a small bowl in Steelite's Brown Dapple range, designed to complement the informal, earthy aesthetic that works well in casual dining restaurants, cafés, and bistros. The coupe profile — low-sided with a wide, open bowl shape — suits side dishes, amuse-bouches, small desserts, and sharing-plate formats. The dappled brown rim against a clean white glaze gives the piece a handcrafted feel without the inconsistency that comes with genuinely hand-thrown ceramics.
Steelite's alumina vitrified ceramic construction is well regarded in commercial hospitality for its chip resistance and durability under the repeated thermal cycling that comes with busy service. These bowls will handle dishwasher cycles without significant glaze degradation over time, which matters when a table is turning several times a night.
Practical points worth noting for front-of-house use:
- Dishwasher safe — suitable for high-volume commercial warewashers
- Microwave safe — useful for reheating or finishing service passes
- Freezer safe — supports prep and pre-portioning workflows
- Sold in a pack of 24, providing a practical opening quantity for a section
- Coordinates with other Brown Dapple pieces for a consistent table setting
At 130mm diameter, this is a relatively small bowl. It works well as a starter or dessert bowl, or as part of a shared plates arrangement, but operators expecting to use it as a main course bowl for pasta or similar should consider whether the capacity is sufficient for their portion sizes before committing.
If you are building out a full Brown Dapple cover or want to confirm how this bowl fits into a wider table scheme, we are happy to talk it through.
£328.00(£393.60 inc VAT)
These coupe bowls from Steelite's Brown Dapple range combine a wide, shallow profile with a distinctive rustic brown rim. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, they sit between a standard bowl and a flat plate in terms of form — a shape that has become a reliable choice across casual dining, sharing menus, and contemporary à la carte covers alike.
In a busy service environment, the coupe format earns its place by offering chefs a versatile canvas. The broad, flat base gives more room to present garnishes or sauces with clarity, while still providing enough depth for soups, grain dishes, pasta, or desserts. The alumina vitrified ceramic construction is hardwearing and handles the daily demands of commercial dishwashing and stacking well, which is a practical consideration when you're running a full section at pace.
The Brown Dapple glaze coordinates naturally with the rest of the Brown Dapple collection, including coupe plates, which makes building a coherent table setting straightforward without the need to mix ranges. The earthy, textured finish suits informal dining concepts and more relaxed service styles particularly well.
- Versatile coupe profile handles starters, mains, and desserts without changing tableware
- Alumina vitrified ceramic resists chipping and crazing under commercial use
- Coordinates with the wider Brown Dapple collection for consistent covers
- Sold in a pack of 24, keeping replacement and opening stock practical
- Rustic glaze finish suits casual dining, bistro, and contemporary cover styles
If you're building a new cover or extending an existing Brown Dapple set, it's worth considering your service volume and storage capacity against pack size. The team is happy to help you work out quantities if you're unsure.
£189.00(£226.80 inc VAT)
The Steelite Brown Dapple Coupe Bowl is a 253mm vitrified ceramic bowl with a wide, flat-based coupe profile and a gloss white body accented with brown dapple detailing. The finish sits between classic white and heavily rustic — practical for operators who want a contemporary look without committing to a stark all-white table setting.
In day-to-day service, alumina vitrified ceramic holds up well under the thermal cycling of a busy kitchen and commercial dishwasher routine. The material is resistant to chipping and crazing at the rim, which matters when pieces are being stacked, cleared, and rewashed multiple times across a service period. These bowls are sold in packs of twelve, which suits standard par-stock planning for most restaurant or café covers.
The flat coupe base makes the bowl genuinely useful beyond soup and desserts — it works as a plating surface for composed starters or small sharing plates where a conventional deep bowl would be impractical. Key operational points worth noting:
- Alumina vitrified ceramic resists chipping and crazing under heavy daily use
- Coupe profile suits plating and presentation as well as liquid-based dishes
- Gloss white base with brown dapple detail coordinates with the wider Steelite coupe range
- Dishwasher safe, suitable for commercial warewasher cycles
- Supplied in a pack of 12, supporting straightforward stock ordering
As with any tableware purchase at volume, it is worth confirming the finish coordinates with your existing Steelite pieces before ordering across multiple tables. The Brown Dapple range spans plates and bowls in various sizes, so mixed-piece table settings are achievable within the same collection.
If you are specifying tableware for a new opening or updating an existing cover set and would like guidance on quantities or coordinating pieces, our team is happy to assist.
£227.00(£272.40 inc VAT)
These Steelite coupe plates combine a clean, rimless profile with a cream base glaze and a subtly dappled brown rim detail. The coupe shape sits flat and presents food without distraction, making it a practical choice for plated starters, mains, and desserts across a range of dining styles — from casual bistro service through to more formal restaurant settings.
Steelite's alumina vitrified ceramic construction is well regarded in commercial hospitality for its resistance to chipping, crazing, and the general wear that comes with high-cycle warewashing. These plates are built to perform through repeated service periods and the cumulative stress of busy kitchen and pass environments, where crockery takes considerably more punishment than in domestic use.
Practical operational advantages include:
- Durable alumina vitrified ceramic resists chipping during stacking and service
- Coupe profile stacks efficiently, reducing storage footprint on shelving and in pass areas
- Neutral dapple glaze complements a broad range of menu presentations and table settings
- Compatible with standard commercial warewashers without specialist handling
- Available as a pack of 36, suiting initial cover setups or top-up ordering
As with all commercial flatware, it is worth considering your cover count and service volume when deciding on quantities. A pack of 36 suits smaller operations or staged rollouts well; for larger restaurants or venues running multiple sittings, ordering across several packs from the outset will reduce the risk of shortfall during peak service.
The Brown Dapple range is well suited to operators looking for a coordinated tableware aesthetic that works across courses without requiring separate plate ranges. If you are outfitting a full dining room or have questions about quantities relative to your cover count, the team is happy to talk it through.
