Product Description
The Steelite Aurora Revolution Bluestone cup is part of Steelite's Aurora collection, which uses reactive glazes applied in combination to produce natural variation in colour and surface character. The result is a deep bluestone finish that reads differently under various lighting conditions — no two pieces are entirely identical, which is part of the appeal for operators who want tableware that supports a considered presentation without relying on heavy styling.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these cups are built to withstand the demands of regular commercial service. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a denser, harder-wearing body than standard earthenware, giving it better resistance to chipping and thermal shock — both relevant considerations in a busy kitchen environment where pieces go from dishwasher to service repeatedly throughout a shift.
The Aurora range is designed to be backwards compatible with Steelite's Revolution and Vesuvius ranges, which makes it a practical choice for operations that already hold stock from either of those collections and want to introduce the Aurora glaze effects without replacing everything at once. The Bluestone cup works across a range of service contexts — hot drinks, small desserts, amuse-bouche, or pre-dessert courses — and fits naturally into modern, ingredient-led menu presentations.
- Reactive glaze finish creates natural surface variation between pieces
- Alumina vitrified ceramic body for durability in daily commercial use
- Compatible with Revolution and Vesuvius ranges for flexible mix-and-match presentation
- Suits a range of service applications beyond drinks
If you're building a tableware scheme across multiple courses or want to understand how the Aurora Bluestone sits alongside other pieces in your current collection, we're happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is well suited to commercial dishwasher use, offering better resistance to thermal shock and surface wear than standard ceramic bodies. As with all glazed tableware, consistent rack loading and avoiding stacking under heavy items will help maintain the glaze finish over time.
- The Aurora collection is designed to be backwards compatible with both the Revolution and Vesuvius ranges, so it can be introduced alongside existing stock rather than requiring a full replacement. The Bluestone glaze will read as a distinct finish, so it works best when used deliberately — for example, to differentiate a dessert course or a specific section of the menu.
- For most small to medium covers, a single pack of 12 provides a working section's worth of cups with a small buffer for breakages. Higher-volume operations running multiple sittings or larger sections may want to consider holding two or more packs to maintain consistent cover during peak service and account for pieces in the wash cycle.
