Product Description
The Steelite Alvo Empire jug is a 284ml front-of-house pouring jug produced in alumina vitrified ceramic. The Alvo range is characterised by gently curved profiles and a subtle embossed detail, finished in a clean white glaze that works alongside a wide range of table settings and cuisines. The 284ml capacity is a standard serving size suited to individual cream, milk, or sauce service.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a material well regarded in commercial catering for its resistance to thermal shock and its ability to retain a clean, unmarked surface through repeated dishwasher cycles. The robust glaze resists staining and the surface stays presentable through the kind of daily volume that would quickly mark lesser tableware. Steelite backs the range with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which reflects the durability expected of a product intended for continuous hospitality use.
In practical terms, operators find this type of jug suits table service, buffet settings, and afternoon tea covers equally well. Key operational points include:
- Alumina vitrified ceramic construction for durability and stain resistance
- Thermal shock resistance supports movement between kitchen and table
- White glaze complements most existing crockery ranges
- Sold as a pack of 12, suited to building or replenishing cover stock
- Lifetime edge chip warranty provides confidence for high-turnover operations
This jug is suited to restaurants, hotels, cafés, and contract catering operations where individual portion service is the norm. It is a standard-volume piece — operations requiring larger serving jugs for table sharing or buffet self-service should consider a higher-capacity alternative from the range.
If you are building a full table setting or matching existing Steelite pieces, our team is happy to talk through what works well together.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The 284ml capacity is a well-established size for individual service of cream, milk, sauces, or dressings and suits most restaurant and café table settings. If your operation runs larger portions or buffet-style self-service, a higher-capacity jug from the Alvo range would be worth considering.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is specifically suited to the demands of commercial dishwashing — it is more dense and less porous than standard ceramics, which makes it more resistant to staining, crazing, and thermal stress over time. The Alvo range is designed to retain its appearance through the kind of daily cycle counts typical in busy hospitality operations.
- Steelite's lifetime edge chip warranty covers chips occurring on the rim or edges of the piece during normal commercial use — the area most prone to damage in table service environments. It is worth confirming the specific claim process with our team, as terms may apply, but it reflects Steelite's confidence in the durability of the range for hospitality use.
