Product Description
The Steelite Aurora range sits within the Vesuvius collection and uses reactive glazing techniques to produce naturally varied colour effects across each piece. The Amber colourway delivers warm, earthy tones with the kind of surface variation that tends to complement contemporary plating styles. Each bowl measures 120mm across, making it a practical size for sides, pre-starters, amuse-bouche, desserts, or sharing portions depending on your menu format. This listing is for a pack of 12 bowls.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, the bowls are built to withstand the daily demands of commercial table service. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a denser, harder-wearing body than standard porcelain, which gives it better resistance to chipping along rims and edges — a meaningful consideration in any busy covers environment where tableware cycles quickly through service, clearing, and warewashing.
A few practical points worth noting for operators:
- Reactive glazes produce natural variation — no two pieces are identical, which suits some presentations and may need consideration for strictly uniform table settings
- Aurora is backwards compatible with the Vesuvius and Revolution ranges, which helps with building a cohesive look across different pieces without replacing existing stock
- The 120mm size works well for sides and desserts but may be limiting as a standalone main course bowl for generously portioned dishes
This size and style suits restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining operations looking to add visual texture to the table without committing to a highly pattern-driven aesthetic. If you are building or refreshing a tableware range across multiple covers, it is worth discussing quantities and complementary pieces before ordering.
If you would like guidance on mixing pieces within the Aurora or Vesuvius range to suit your service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is well suited to commercial warewashing environments. The denser body offers better resistance to thermal stress and rim chipping than standard porcelain, though as with all glazed tableware, correct racking and avoiding overloading will help extend the lifespan of each piece.
- Reactive glazing is a deliberate part of the Aurora range's character — each piece will carry slight variations in tone and surface effect. This is not a quality issue; it is how the range is designed. For most contemporary restaurant settings this adds to the presentation, but if your service requires a very uniform table aesthetic it is worth viewing a sample before committing to a larger order.
- The Aurora Vesuvius range is backwards compatible with both the Vesuvius and Revolution collections, so the 120mm Amber bowl can sit alongside larger plates, bowls, and platters from those ranges without creating a mismatched look. If you are building a multi-piece table setting, it is worth discussing which sizes and pieces complement each other for your specific menu format.
