Delivery Information

Price Match

The Portico range from Creations by Steelite is a melamine tableware collection finished in a soft, beige-toned texture that draws on the appearance of natural stone. These 192mm bowls are sized to suit a range of service applications — sides, starters, desserts, and condiments — and the neutral, pebble-like finish presents food well without competing with it.

Melamine at this quality level performs reliably in busy hospitality environments where porcelain carries too much breakage risk. The bowls hold their finish under regular commercial dishwasher cycles and resist the chipping and staining that come with high-frequency use in cafés, hotels, buffet counters, and contract catering operations. Being significantly lighter than ceramic, they also reduce handling fatigue during setup and cleardown.

  • Break-resistant construction suited to high-turnover service environments
  • Dishwasher safe for efficient turnaround between services
  • Neutral stone-effect finish complements a range of plating styles
  • Lightweight build reduces handling effort during buffet and banqueting service
  • Versatile sizing works across starters, desserts, sides, and condiments

It is worth noting that melamine is not suitable for use in microwave ovens or conventional ovens, so these bowls are best suited to cold or pre-prepared service. They are also not appropriate where operators require induction-compatible or oven-to-table serviceware.

The Portico bowls are a practical choice for catering operations looking to maintain a contemporary table aesthetic without the fragility and replacement cost of ceramic. If you are specifying tableware across a larger site or want to discuss how the range fits your service style, we are happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

Are these bowls suitable for use in a microwave or oven?

No — melamine is not safe for use in microwave or conventional ovens. These bowls are intended for cold or pre-prepared service and should not be exposed to direct heat sources.

How do these hold up under daily commercial dishwasher use?

Melamine at this specification is designed to withstand regular commercial dishwasher cycles without significant loss of finish. Avoiding prolonged exposure to very high wash temperatures will help extend the life of the surface over time.

Are these a good fit for buffet and banqueting operations?

Yes — the lightweight construction and break-resistant properties make them well suited to buffet counters, banqueting, and any setting where tableware is handled frequently or by a range of staff. The neutral finish also works across varied menu styles.
