Price Match

The Steelite Ceres bowl is a handmade toughened glass piece, designed by French designer Catherine Hurand. At 170mm in diameter, it sits in a versatile size range — large enough for sharing dishes or generous starters, compact enough to work well as a side or mise en place piece. The bold black colourway and subtly textured surface give it a distinctive appearance on the table without requiring additional styling effort from front-of-house teams.

In a professional hospitality setting, these bowls hold up well across varied service styles. The toughened glass construction handles the physical demands of regular service, clearing, and washing cycles better than standard decorative glassware, and the consistent finish across the pack means tables present uniformly throughout the evening. The black colourway is particularly effective at making food colours stand out, which suits modern plating styles well.

Practically, the Ceres range works across a number of service contexts:

  • Sharing dishes and small plates in informal dining
  • Buffet and self-service display where visual impact matters
  • Starter or dessert courses in more formal settings
  • Centrepiece or condiment presentation on laid tables

Being handmade, there may be minor natural variation between individual pieces — this is characteristic of the production process rather than a quality issue, and is worth noting if absolute uniformity across large covers is a priority. For high-turnover operations running frequent wash cycles, confirming dishwasher compatibility with your warewasher settings is sensible before committing to a full order.

This bowl suits restaurants, hotels, and event caterers looking for tableware that contributes to the visual identity of a service without requiring frequent replacement. If you're equipping a large operation or want guidance on pack sizing and suitability for your service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently asked questions

Are these bowls suitable for dishwasher use in a commercial setting?

The Ceres bowls are made from toughened glass and are designed for professional hospitality use, which includes regular washing cycles. That said, it is worth confirming compatibility with your specific warewasher's temperature and detergent settings before running a full batch, particularly if you're operating high-temperature rack washers.

How many packs would a typical restaurant need to cover a full service?

This depends on your cover count, table turn frequency, and how the bowls are used in your menu. As a general guide, most operators allow for at least 1.5 to 2 times their cover count to account for items in use, on the pass, and going through the wash. If you'd like help working out the right quantity for your operation, we're happy to talk it through.

Is handmade glassware consistent enough for formal or high-end dining?

Handmade pieces can carry minor natural variation between individual bowls, which is inherent to the production method rather than a defect. For most restaurant and hospitality settings this is not an issue, and the aesthetic character of the range suits both informal and refined environments well. If absolute uniformity is a hard requirement for your service, it is worth discussing expectations with us before ordering in volume.
