Product Description
The Steelite Alvo bowl is a 165mm round bowl from Steelite's Alvo tableware range, produced in alumina vitrified ceramic and finished in a clean, bright white glaze. The profile features gently flowing curves with a subtle embossed detail, giving the piece a considered look without being fussy or trend-dependent. It sits comfortably in formal dining, casual restaurant, and hotel breakfast settings alike.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-regarded material in professional foodservice. It combines the refined appearance of fine china — including a degree of translucency — with the structural durability that commercial table settings demand. The glaze is formulated to resist staining and thermal shock, which matters in kitchens where crockery cycles quickly through service, dishwashers, and storage. The lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite reflects confidence in the product's resilience under regular commercial use.
In practical terms, this bowl suits a range of courses and service styles: starters, desserts, side dishes, and breakfast items all sit naturally within the 165mm footprint. The pack of 36 is sized to support a meaningful portion of a restaurant's cover count, and the consistent white finish makes mixing with other Alvo pieces straightforward for operators who want a cohesive table setting without committing to a single bowl size across all courses.
At 13.4kg per pack of 36, the weight per piece is modest and handling during service is comfortable. The bowls stack reliably, which helps with storage efficiency in busy back-of-house environments.
This size works well for mid-sized operations and fits naturally into a broader Alvo range selection. If you are specifying crockery for a larger venue or need guidance on pack quantities relative to cover count and wash cycle frequency, feel free to get in touch — it is the sort of detail worth working through before placing an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A useful starting point is three to four bowls per cover to account for service, washing, and breakages — so a 36-piece pack would support roughly 9 to 12 covers at any one point in the cycle. For busier venues or those running multiple sittings without a full wash cycle between, a higher ratio is worth factoring in before ordering.
- Yes — the alumina vitrified ceramic and glaze formulation are designed for the thermal and chemical demands of commercial dishwashers. The thermal shock resistance is particularly relevant here, as rapid temperature changes during the wash cycle are a common cause of crockery failure in commercial settings.
- The 165mm Alvo bowl is well suited to both hot and cold service — soups, warm desserts, and hot breakfast items are all common uses alongside chilled starters and cold desserts. The thermal shock resistance of the material supports movement between temperature extremes, though as with all crockery it is best to avoid placing bowls directly from cold storage into very high heat without a brief acclimatisation period.
