Product Description
The Steelite Bead mug is a straightforward, classically proportioned vitrified china mug in a 285ml capacity, sold in packs of twelve. The Bead range takes its name from the subtle raised bead detail that runs around the rim and base, giving each piece a clean, recognisable profile without being fussy or overly decorative. It is white, stackable, and designed to work hard in everyday service without drawing attention to itself — which, for front-of-house tableware, is often exactly what operators want.
Vitrified china is the standard material choice for commercial mugs for good reason. It is significantly denser and more resistant to chipping than standard earthenware, and it holds temperature well across the service period. In a busy café or restaurant environment where mugs are cycled through a commercial dishwasher multiple times a day, this durability matters. The Bead mug's straightforward shape also makes it practical to stack and store without excessive breakage risk between services.
From an operational standpoint, the Bead range works well where consistency across covers matters — whether that is a hotel breakfast service, a café counter, a staff restaurant, or a contract catering environment. It is an uncomplicated, reliable choice that sits comfortably alongside most tableware ranges without clashing.
- Resistant to chipping and crazing under repeated commercial dishwasher use
- Stackable profile helps with storage and back-of-house efficiency
- Classic white finish pairs easily with most table linen and crockery ranges
- Sold in packs of twelve, practical for maintaining cover numbers

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Vitrified china is the standard material for commercial tableware precisely because it tolerates high-temperature dishwasher cycles reliably over time. The Bead mug is designed for the kind of repeated daily cycling typical in café and restaurant environments.
- That depends on your cover count, turnover speed, and dishwasher cycle time. A general rule of thumb is to hold at least two to three times your peak cover number in mugs to allow for items in use, in the wash, and in reserve. If you are unsure, we are happy to help work through the numbers.
- The Bead range from Steelite extends beyond mugs and includes cups, saucers, and other tableware pieces designed to coordinate across a full service setting. If you are looking to build out a consistent range, it is worth speaking to us about what is available and what works well together in practice.
