The Steelite Terramesa Olive Tasters Dip Pot is a small, hand-finished ceramic pot designed for serving dips, sauces, amuse-bouche, or tasting portions. At 65mm in diameter, it is a compact piece suited to sharing boards, small plates menus, and informal dining covers where individual condiment portions are served alongside a main dish. Each pack contains twelve pots.

The pot is made from alumina vitrified ceramic, which gives it a denser, harder body than standard earthenware and makes it more resistant to the thermal and mechanical stresses of daily commercial use. The reactive glaze applied to the edges produces a naturally varied, textured finish — meaning no two pieces will be entirely identical, which is consistent with the craft aesthetic the Terramesa range is designed to convey. The olive colourway reads well against both dark slate and light wooden boards.

From an operational standpoint, pieces like this need to survive repeated pass-throughs and the day-to-day handling that comes with high-covers service. A few practical points worth considering:

  • Alumina vitrified body offers good chip resistance at the rim and base
  • Lifetime edge chip warranty included from Steelite
  • Hand-finished glaze edges give a tactile, artisan quality that suits informal dining concepts
  • Small footprint makes them practical for tight board or plate arrangements
  • Sold in packs of 12, useful for matching existing Terramesa cover sets

These pots are hand-finished, so operators should factor in the possibility of minor glaze variation between batches when ordering across multiple packs for a large opening or a full crockery restock. This is characteristic of the range rather than a quality issue, but it is worth being aware of if consistency across a large number of covers is a priority.

The Terramesa Olive range is well suited to casual dining restaurants, gastropubs, wine bars, and any operation running a sharing or small plates concept where the tabletop aesthetic is part of the guest experience. For operators needing larger serving vessels within the same range, Steelite produces the Terramesa collection in a variety of sizes and forms.

If you are fitting out a full covers set or are unsure which sizes best suit your menu format, the team is happy to talk through what works in practice.

Frequently asked questions

Are these dip pots suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?

Steelite's alumina vitrified ceramic is produced to withstand the temperature and chemical conditions of commercial glasswashers and dishwashers. The reactive glaze finish is fired into the body rather than applied as a surface coating, so it holds up well under repeated machine washing in normal commercial conditions.

How many packs would a 40-cover restaurant typically need?

That depends on your menu format and how frequently dip pots are used per cover per service. As a working guide, if each cover uses one or two dip pots per sitting and you are running two services, a starting stock of three to four packs of 12 would give you reasonable working cover with some buffer for breakages. It is worth speaking to us about your specific service pattern before ordering in volume.

Is there variation in the glaze finish between individual pots or batches?

Yes — the reactive glaze used on the Terramesa range is intentionally variable, and minor differences in tone and texture between individual pieces are characteristic of the hand-finished process. Variation between batches produced at different times is also possible. For operators ordering across multiple packs, this is worth factoring in if you require a very uniform look across all covers.
