William Edwards Celestine Coupe Low Tea Saucers 150mm (12 Pack)
£199.00(£238.80 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Celestine collection from William Edwards is a fine bone china range designed for formal and premium-casual hospitality settings. The tea saucers within the range feature a coupe low profile with a restrained iridescent finish — a pale celestial blue shimmer created by pinstriping and lustre glazing that shifts subtly with the angle of light. The aesthetic is considered and understated rather than overtly decorative, making it well suited to operations that want distinctive tableware without a pattern that dominates the table.
Fine bone china construction gives the saucers a good strength-to-weight ratio for their category. The high-temperature fired glaze produces a hard, smooth surface that holds up reasonably well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles, though as with all fine china, careful handling and appropriate racking during washing will extend the life of the lustre finish. These are not heavy-duty all-day-diner pieces — they are intended for settings where presentation is a priority and handling practices reflect that.
Practical points worth noting for service operations:
- Supplied in packs of 12, practical for building cover counts incrementally
- Microwave and dishwasher safe for straightforward back-of-house handling
- Stackable, helping to manage storage in tight service areas
- Coupe profile pairs consistently with Celestine cup shapes for a coordinated cover
- Fine bone china construction keeps piece weight low for front-of-house staff
The Celestine range is best suited to hotel dining, afternoon tea services, fine dining, and premium café operations where tableware is a considered part of the guest experience. For higher-volume or more casual settings where robustness is the primary concern, a vitrified porcelain alternative may be a more practical choice.
If you are building out a full Celestine cover or want to discuss quantities suited to your service volume, our team is happy to help you work through what you need.
Frequently asked questions
Are these saucers suitable for high-volume dishwasher use in a busy hotel operation?
Fine bone china can handle regular commercial dishwashing, but the lustre glaze finish will last longer with careful racking and appropriate detergent concentrations. For very high-turnover operations running multiple wash cycles daily, it is worth considering whether a vitrified porcelain range would better suit the pace of your service.
Do these saucers pair with other pieces in the Celestine range?
Yes — the Celestine collection is designed as a coordinated range, and the coupe low saucer profile is intended to work alongside the matching teacup shapes. If you are building a full afternoon tea or table cover, it is worth confirming which cup styles pair correctly before placing a full order.
How many packs would a typical afternoon tea service need?
That depends on your cover count, turnaround time, and washing cycle frequency. As a general guide, operators typically hold two to three times their seated cover count to allow for washing and breakage. Our team can help you work out a practical quantity based on your specific service.
