Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Bowls Lapis 155mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Lapis bowl is a 155mm piece from Steelite's Aurora collection, finished in a deep lapis blue using reactive glazes. The reactive glaze process means each piece carries its own subtle variation in tone and contrast — an intentional characteristic of the range rather than a quality inconsistency. The Aurora line is designed to be backwards compatible with both the Revolution and Vesuvius ranges, which gives operators flexibility when building or extending a tabletop scheme without committing entirely to new crockery.

Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these bowls are produced to a hardwearing commercial standard. Alumina vitrified ceramic is commonly specified in busy hospitality environments for its resistance to chipping and its ability to withstand repeated high-temperature dishwasher cycles without significant glaze degradation over time. The lapis colourway holds up well under frequent service use without the fading or dulling that can affect lesser ceramic finishes.

Practically speaking, the Aurora Vesuvius bowl works across multiple service applications — starters, sides, desserts, and sharing plates — making it a versatile choice for operations that rotate menus seasonally or run varied cuisine styles. The reactive glaze finish also means minor surface marks from cutlery are less visually prominent than on plain white ware, which is worth considering for high-turnover covers.

These are sold in a pack of 12, which suits initial purchases for smaller operations or supplementing an existing Aurora or Vesuvius par stock. For larger openings or high-volume sites, it is worth calculating your full par requirement carefully before ordering to ensure colour batch consistency across the table.
