Delivery Information

Price Match

The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Amber City Mug is a 340ml earthenware-style mug produced in alumina vitrified ceramic and finished with a reactive glaze that creates natural variation in colour and tone across each piece. The amber colourway sits within Steelite's Aurora range, which is designed to complement both the Revolution and Vesuvius collections — useful for operators who already hold either range and want to extend or refresh their table presentation without starting from scratch.

In a busy café, hotel breakfast service, or restaurant front-of-house setting, reactive-glaze ceramics like these are valued as much for their practicality as their appearance. The alumina vitrified ceramic body is a robust, commercially proven material that handles the repeated thermal cycling of dishwasher service well, and holds up under the stacking and handling demands of high-throughput operations. The natural colour variation between pieces is an inherent characteristic of the reactive glaze process rather than a defect — something worth explaining to front-of-house staff so it is presented correctly to guests.

  • Sold in packs of 12, suited to batch restocking or initial range setup
  • Compatible with the broader Steelite Revolution and Vesuvius collections
  • Reactive glaze finish creates natural tonal variation — no two pieces are identical
  • Alumina vitrified ceramic construction suited to commercial dishwasher use
  • Amber colourway works well in relaxed dining, café, and boutique hotel environments

These mugs are well suited to independent cafés, hotel food and beverage operations, and restaurant settings where a considered, handcrafted aesthetic is part of the overall presentation. The 340ml capacity is a practical all-rounder for both standard and large filter coffee servings. Operators running very high covers may want to consider larger pack quantities or holding stock to cover breakage cycles.

If you are building out a tableware scheme and would like guidance on pairing pieces across the Aurora, Revolution, or Vesuvius ranges, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently asked questions

Are these mugs suitable for commercial dishwasher use?

Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a standard material in commercial hospitality ware precisely because it tolerates the high temperatures and repeated cycles of commercial dishwashers. The reactive glaze finish is kiln-fired rather than applied as a surface coating, so it does not strip or fade with regular machine washing.

Will all 12 mugs in a pack look identical?

Not exactly, and that is intentional. Reactive glazes respond to kiln conditions during firing, which produces natural variation in colour depth and tone between individual pieces. This is a characteristic of the range rather than a quality issue, and is worth briefing front-of-house teams on so they can present it positively to guests.

Can these mugs be used alongside existing Steelite Revolution or Vesuvius pieces?

Yes — the Aurora range is designed to be backwards compatible with both the Revolution and Vesuvius collections. This makes it practical for operators who want to introduce the Aurora amber colourway alongside existing Steelite stock without needing to replace an entire tableware scheme.
