Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Lapis Bowls 110mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Lapis Bowl is a 110mm reactive-glazed ceramic bowl, sold in packs of twelve. It forms part of Steelite's Aurora collection, which uses reactive glazes applied in combination to produce natural colour variation and contrast across each piece. The result is a deep lapis blue finish where no two items are entirely identical — an effect that suits plating styles where character and texture in the crockery are part of the overall presentation.

Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these bowls are built to perform in a commercial environment. Alumina vitrified ceramic is notably harder and more resistant to chipping than standard vitrified china, which is why it is commonly specified for busy restaurant and hotel operations where crockery goes through heavy daily use, commercial dishwashers, and stacking cycles repeatedly. The glaze itself is durable enough to hold its appearance under continuous service conditions rather than fading quickly with repeated washing.

The Aurora range is designed to be backwards compatible with Steelite's Revolution and Vesuvius ranges, which is practically useful for operations that already hold stock from either of those collections. Mixing pieces within a compatible range gives more flexibility in presentation without requiring a full crockery changeover.

At 110mm, this bowl suits smaller portion presentations — sharing plates, amuse-bouche, pre-desserts, sides, or dessert courses — rather than deep main-course bowls. It is a practical size for tasting menus and contemporary plating where smaller, composed dishes are part of the style.
