Delivery Information
Price Match
The Maham Spice Cardamon Stacking Trays are part of a vitrified stoneware collection designed by Maham Anjum and produced by Steelite. Each tray combines an unglazed exterior with the appearance of hand-thrown terracotta alongside a coloured reactive glaze on the interior, giving a considered, artisanal aesthetic without sacrificing the practicality required in a working foodservice environment.
Vitrified stoneware is a well-established material choice for commercial tableware — more durable than standard earthenware and resistant to the thermal stresses of busy service. The stacking format keeps storage compact, which is a practical advantage in back-of-house environments where shelving space is rarely abundant.
These trays are well suited to:
- Small bites, bar snacks, and sharing plates
- Restaurant and hotel dining where presentation matters
- Casual dining and informal service formats
- Operators looking to introduce a tactile, craft-led look to their table setting
As a relatively lightweight smallware, installation or utility considerations do not apply. The main practical points worth noting are that the reactive glaze finish will vary slightly piece to piece — this is inherent to the production method and part of the intended aesthetic, not a defect. Operators should confirm dishwasher suitability with their warewashing supplier if running high-temperature programmes, as glaze longevity can vary under intensive commercial washing cycles.
This collection suits independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and bar operations where tableware forms part of the overall dining experience. For high-volume canteen or contract catering environments, a more utilitarian option may be a better fit.
If you are putting together a broader tableware specification or want to see how the Maham Spice range sits alongside your existing pieces, we are happy to help you work through the options.
Frequently asked questions
Are these trays suitable for use in a commercial dishwasher?
Vitrified stoneware is generally robust, but the reactive glaze finish can be sensitive to prolonged exposure to high-temperature commercial wash cycles. We would recommend confirming compatibility with your warewashing supplier and, where possible, trialling a small quantity before committing to a full service set.
How does the reactive glaze affect consistency across a set of 12?
The reactive glaze process is intentionally variable — each piece will differ slightly in colour tone and finish. This is characteristic of the Maham Spice collection's hand-crafted aesthetic and is not a quality issue. Operators should factor this in when planning table settings where a uniform appearance is a priority.
What type of operation is this collection best suited to?
These trays work well in independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and bar environments where tableware contributes to the overall dining experience. For high-turnover or contract catering settings where durability and uniformity take precedence over aesthetics, a more utilitarian tableware range is likely to be a better long-term choice.
