Delivery Information

Price Match

The Steelite Ceres bowl is a handmade toughened glass piece designed by French designer Catherine Hurand. At 260mm in diameter, it sits comfortably in the sharing dish or starter bowl category and carries a subtly textured finish in a deep, matte-toned black. The result is a bowl that presents food well without relying on decoration or pattern — the form does the work.

In service, the toughened glass construction means these bowls hold up to the handling demands of a busy restaurant or banqueting environment better than standard decorative glassware. They stack and store cleanly, and the black colourway conceals minor surface wear that can dull lighter-coloured pieces over time. They work equally well across casual dining, buffet counters, and more formal table settings where a considered, contemporary aesthetic is the goal.

  • Consistent presentation across sharing plates, starters, and side dishes
  • Bold black finish suits contemporary and Nordic-influenced table styling
  • Toughened glass provides better resilience than standard decorative glass
  • Textured exterior aids grip during plating and clearing
  • Versatile sizing works for both individual portions and table-sharing formats

These are handmade pieces, so operators should be aware of the minor natural variation that comes with that process — a characteristic of the range rather than a quality concern. They are not intended as a high-turnover stack-and-smash workhorse; for very high-volume casual operations, a more utilitarian bowl in chip-resistant porcelain or melamine may be a more practical choice.

Well suited to restaurants, boutique hotels, and event caterers looking to add a consistent design element to the tabletop without commissioning bespoke pieces. If you are fitting out a full covers operation or need guidance on pack quantities for your service volume, our team is happy to help you work through the numbers.

Frequently asked questions

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

Steelite recommends checking care guidance for the Ceres range before putting handmade glass pieces through a commercial dishwasher cycle, as high-temperature or high-pressure programmes can affect handmade glass over time. If you are planning heavy daily dishwasher use, it is worth discussing this with us before committing to a large quantity.

How many packs would a typical restaurant need for a full table setting?

That depends on your covers, service style, and turnaround speed. A 30-cover restaurant running a sharing-plate format might hold two or three packs in active service with a small buffer in reserve. If you let us know your covers and service model, we can help you arrive at a sensible opening order.

Are these bowls suitable for hot food service?

The Ceres bowls are glass and not designed for use in ovens or under salamanders. For ambient or cold presentations — sharing plates, salads, desserts, buffet service — they are well suited. If you need a bowl that can go from oven to table, a ceramic or cast-iron option would be more appropriate.
