Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Amber Cups 227ml 8oz (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Amber Cup is a 227ml (8oz) ceramic cup finished with a reactive glaze that produces natural colour variation across each piece. Because the glaze reacts during firing, no two cups are identical — the amber tones shift subtly from cup to cup, giving a handcrafted feel while remaining a commercially produced item. The cups are manufactured from alumina vitrified ceramic, the standard body material used across Steelite's professional tableware ranges.

In service, alumina vitrified ceramic offers reasonable chip resistance for front-of-house use and handles the thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers reliably over time. The Aurora range is designed to sit alongside both the Revolution and Vesuvius collections, which is useful for operators who want to build a mixed tabletop presentation without committing to a single glaze or colour across every piece.

Practical points worth considering for operators:

• Reactive glaze produces natural colour variation — consistent with the range, not a defect
• Compatible with Revolution and Vesuvius ranges for mixed tabletop presentation
• Alumina vitrified ceramic body suited to commercial dishwasher use
• Sold in packs of 12, suited to smaller initial orders or topping up existing stock
• Amber glaze works well in informal dining, café, and brunch-style settings

The pack size of 12 is practical for smaller operations or for trialling the colour alongside an existing tableware scheme before committing to a larger order. For higher-volume sites or those equipping a full dining room from scratch, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity would be more cost-effective.
