Steelite Orbita Tall Bowls Fuse Tide 125mm (Pack of 12)
£120.00(£144.00 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Steelite Orbita tall bowl is a fine dining and casual dining tableware piece produced by Steelite Performance, one of the more established names in commercial hospitality porcelain. The Fuse Tide finish gives the bowl a considered, contemporary appearance — its flowing circular lines draw focus toward the centre, making it a practical canvas for plated starters, desserts, and amuse-bouche style courses. The 125mm diameter sits it firmly in the individual portion category.
In a busy service environment, durability is as important as appearance. Orbita is produced in Steelite's alumina vitrified body, which offers meaningful resistance to thermal shock, glaze damage, and staining — all common sources of tableware attrition in commercial kitchens running high cover numbers. The construction also supports heat and chill retention, which helps maintain presentation and food temperature between pass and table, particularly useful during longer or tiered services.
From an operational standpoint, the practical benefits worth noting include:
- Full compatibility with commercial dishwashers, reducing handling time during turnaround
- Microwave and freezer safe, supporting flexible plating and pre-prep workflows
- Consistent glaze finish that resists staining and maintains appearance through repeated wash cycles
- Backed by Steelite's Lifetime Edge Chip Warranty, which reduces the longer-term cost of replacement
There are no complex installation considerations with tableware of this kind — storage space, rack compatibility with your existing dishwasher, and breakage budget per cover are the practical questions worth working through before ordering volume. Supplied in packs of 12, the quantity suits initial trials or topping up existing sets. For operations running high cover counts or multiple sittings, ordering in greater volume from the outset is usually more cost-effective.
Orbita is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and event caterers looking for a refined but hardwearing bowl that performs consistently across both contemporary tasting menus and more casual dining formats. If you are building or refreshing a full table setting and would like guidance on complementary pieces within the range, the team is happy to help.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Orbita tall bowl hold up in a high-cover restaurant environment?
The alumina vitrified construction is specifically suited to the repeated thermal cycling and mechanical handling that comes with high-cover service. Resistance to thermal shock, staining, and glaze damage means the bowls maintain their appearance over time, though like all porcelain tableware, breakage rates will depend on handling practices and the nature of your service style.
Is this bowl suitable for use in a tasting menu or fine dining format?
Yes — the Orbita profile and Fuse Tide finish are well suited to contemporary fine dining and tasting menus where presentation matters. The 125mm diameter is practical for amuse-bouche, pre-dessert, and small starter courses, and the organic rim adds a handcrafted quality that works across different plating styles.
What should I consider when ordering volume for a new opening or full table refresh?
A common approach is to calculate based on your cover count plus a contingency for breakage — typically 20 to 30 percent above your seated covers for a busy operation. Ordering in pack quantities from the outset is usually more cost-effective than topping up frequently, and ensures consistency of finish across the floor. If you are unsure of the right quantity for your anticipated service volume, we are glad to talk it through.
