Product Description
The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius bowl in Lapis is a 135mm reactive-glazed ceramic bowl from Steelite's Aurora collection, supplied in packs of twelve. Aurora pieces use a combination of reactive glazes fired together, producing natural colour variation and contrast across each piece. The result is a distinctly individual finish — no two bowls are identical, which is a deliberate characteristic of the range rather than a quality concern.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these bowls are produced to the robust construction standards Steelite apply across their professional tableware. Alumina vitrified ceramic offers strong resistance to chipping and thermal shock, which matters in a busy pass environment where crockery is handled at pace and exposed to significant temperature variation during service.
The Aurora range is designed to be backwards compatible with both the Vesuvius and Revolution ranges, which makes it a practical choice for operations already working with either collection. Rather than committing to a full replacement, kitchens can introduce Aurora pieces alongside existing stock and build a coordinated table presentation over time.
- Reactive glaze finish creates natural variation — suited to modern plating styles
- Alumina vitrified ceramic construction withstands the demands of repeated commercial use
- Versatile bowl format works across starters, sides, and desserts
- Compatible with existing Revolution and Vesuvius tableware programmes
- Supplied in a pack of twelve, supporting consistent table covers
These bowls suit restaurants, hotels, and hospitality venues looking to introduce a distinctive, handcrafted aesthetic without departing from proven commercial tableware durability. The 135mm size is well suited to sides, amuse-bouches, desserts, and smaller portion presentations.
If you are building out a broader tableware programme or are unsure whether the Aurora range sits well with your existing collection, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The variation is entirely intentional and is a defining characteristic of the Aurora range. Reactive glazes interact differently during firing, so each piece carries a unique finish. This is considered part of the aesthetic rather than an inconsistency, and is typical of reactive glaze tableware across the industry.
- Yes — the Aurora range is designed to be backwards compatible with both the Vesuvius and Revolution collections. This allows venues to introduce Aurora pieces gradually alongside existing stock, which is a practical approach if you are refreshing your table presentation in stages rather than replacing everything at once.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-established material in professional tableware, offering good resistance to chipping and thermal shock compared to standard porcelain. It performs reliably in busy pass and dishwash environments, though as with all ceramic tableware, consistent care during handling and stacking will extend the working life of the pieces.
