Product Description
The Steelite Aurora Revolution Bluestone bowl is a 175mm reactive-glazed ceramic bowl designed for professional table settings. Aurora pieces are produced using a combination of reactive glazes that interact during firing, producing natural colour variation and contrast across the bluestone finish. No two pieces are identical, which is part of the intended aesthetic rather than a quality concern — operators should expect and communicate this to front-of-house teams.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these bowls are well suited to the demands of a busy restaurant environment. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a durable, dense material that handles the thermal stresses of commercial dishwashing reliably and resists chipping better than standard porcelain under normal service conditions. The finish holds up well over repeated wash cycles without significant dulling.
The Aurora range is backwards compatible with the Revolution and Vesuvius ranges from Steelite, which gives operators already working with either of those collections a practical route to introducing the Aurora glazes without replacing entire cover sets. The 175mm size works across a range of courses — starters, sides, desserts and smaller sharing dishes — making it a versatile format for varied menus.
These bowls are supplied in packs of 12, which suits standard cover multiples for most restaurant and hotel operations. For sites with high breakage rates or very high covers, it is worth considering how this integrates with your existing stock rotation and reorder process, as reactive-glazed pieces can vary batch to batch.
If you are building a table setting around the Aurora collection or mixing it with existing Steelite ranges, the team is happy to talk through how the pieces work together in practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Not exactly — and that is by design. Reactive glazes interact differently during firing, so each piece will show natural variation in tone and pattern within the bluestone colourway. The overall family resemblance is strong, but operators should brief front-of-house staff accordingly so that minor variation is understood as intentional rather than a defect.
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a robust material that handles the heat and chemical exposure of commercial dishwashing well. It is denser and more chip-resistant than standard porcelain, making it a practical choice for high-turnover environments. As with any reactive-glazed tableware, avoid stacking heavily during washing to reduce contact chipping over time.
- Yes — the Aurora range is designed to be backwards compatible with both the Revolution and Vesuvius collections from Steelite, so they can be mixed within a cover setting or used to introduce a different glaze character alongside existing pieces. If you are unsure how the Aurora finish works visually with your current tableware, the team can help you think through the combination before you commit to a quantity.
