Product Description
The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Amber round stacking tray is a small-format ceramic piece designed for use within the Aurora collection, which pairs reactive glazes to produce natural colour variation and contrast across each piece. At 135mm, these trays sit comfortably in the small plate and side dish category, suited to amuse-bouche, accompaniments, desserts, and tapas-style presentation. Manufactured from alumina vitrified ceramic, the construction is intended to withstand the demands of regular commercial use.
The reactive glaze process means that each piece carries its own subtle tonal variation — something that works in favour of informal, craft-led dining concepts where uniformity across every cover is less of a priority. The amber colourway complements both light and earthy food presentations and sits naturally alongside other Aurora and Vesuvius pieces, which are designed to mix and stack together across the ranges.
From a practical standpoint, the stacking profile keeps storage compact in tight pass or prep areas, and the ceramic construction is appropriate for dishwasher use in a commercial environment. A few points worth considering when ordering for service:
- Reactive glazes produce natural tonal variation — each piece will differ slightly
- Alumina vitrified ceramic offers reliable chip resistance for day-to-day service
- Compatible stacking profile with Aurora and Vesuvius range pieces
- Supplied in a pack of 12, which suits initial trials or topping up existing sets
- The 135mm format works well for sides, pre-desserts, and small sharing portions
These trays are most at home in independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and casual dining operations that lean into an artisanal or natural aesthetic. For high-volume canteen or contract catering environments where consistency of colour across every cover matters, a standard glaze product may be more practical.
If you are building a table setting across multiple Steelite ranges or want to discuss how the Aurora collection fits your existing crockery, we are happy to help you work through the options before you commit to a full order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Not precisely — the reactive glaze process is intentional and means each piece carries its own subtle tonal variation within the amber range. This is characteristic of the Aurora collection and is generally considered part of the aesthetic appeal, but operators looking for exact colour consistency across every cover should consider a standard glaze alternative.
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is suited to commercial dishwasher use, and Steelite products are manufactured with the demands of professional service in mind. As with all reactive-glaze pieces, following the manufacturer's care guidance will help maintain the glaze finish over time.
- Yes — the Aurora range is designed to be backwards compatible with both the Revolution and Vesuvius ranges, so pieces can be stacked and combined across collections. This makes it straightforward to extend or supplement an existing table setting without replacing everything at once.
