Product Description
The Forager range from Robert Gordon, distributed through Steelite, is a collection of vitrified stoneware tableware finished with a reactive glaze that flows freely during firing. Because the glaze behaves differently on every piece, no two bowls are identical — each carries its own tonal variation and surface character. The base is left unglazed, exposing the raw stoneware body and reinforcing the handmade, organic quality the range is known for.
In practical terms, vitrified stoneware is a durable, dense material well suited to the rigours of daily restaurant service. It handles repeated trips through a commercial dishwasher reliably and resists the minor impacts and stacking knocks that come with a busy pass or pot wash area. The stackable profile keeps storage manageable in a compact kitchen or service station.
The Forager bowl works well across a range of service contexts — sharing plates, starter portions, desserts, and small sides all sit naturally in this format. The organic aesthetic suits venues that favour a less formal, more ingredient-led presentation style: independent restaurants, café-bars, boutique hotels, and farm-to-table concepts in particular.
- Reactive glaze produces a naturally unique finish on every piece
- Unglazed stoneware base adds tactile, handmade appeal to the table
- Stackable form supports practical storage in service environments
- Vitrified construction handles repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
- Sold in boxes of 12, suited to building consistent cover sets
If you are specifying tableware across a full cover count or want to discuss how the Forager range fits alongside other shapes in the collection, the team is happy to help you work through the quantities and mix before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the vitrified stoneware construction is designed to withstand repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. As with any reactive-glazed stoneware, avoiding harsh chemical sanitisers beyond standard catering detergents will help maintain the surface finish over time.
- The bowl is sold in a box of 12, so it is worth calculating your cover count and adding a working buffer for breakages before ordering. The Forager range includes other shapes and sizes, so if you are building a full table setting across the collection it is worth speaking to us about the available formats.
- The unglazed stoneware base is typical of this style of artisan tableware and is generally smooth enough for standard table use. For operators using polished or lacquered table surfaces, testing a piece in service before full specification is a sensible precaution.
