Product Description
The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Burnt Emerald City Mug is a 285ml (10oz) ceramic mug finished in a distinctive reactive glaze that produces natural variation in tone and depth across each piece. No two mugs are identical, which gives the range a considered, artisan quality without veering into informality. The burnt emerald colourway sits within Steelite's broader Aurora collection, which pairs reactive glazes to create contrast and visual interest on the table.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these mugs are built to withstand the demands of commercial café and restaurant service. Alumina vitrified ceramic is well regarded in the trade for its resistance to chipping and thermal shock — practical qualities that matter when mugs are being cycled rapidly through commercial dishwashers and handled at pace during a busy service. The construction holds up reliably under repeated use without the glaze dulling noticeably over time.
From an operational standpoint, the Aurora City Mug works well in environments where tableware presentation matters alongside durability:
- Reactive glaze finish creates natural variation — no two pieces are identical
- Alumina vitrified ceramic resists chipping and thermal shock in daily service
- Compatible with Revolution and Vesuvius ranges for flexible table presentation
- 285ml capacity suits standard café drinks including flat whites, lattes and teas
- Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for par stock planning
The Aurora range is backwards compatible with Steelite's Revolution and Vesuvius collections, which gives operators flexibility when mixing pieces across a table setting or expanding an existing range without starting from scratch.
These mugs are suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, restaurant beverage service, and similar hospitality settings where a balance of visual character and commercial durability is needed. They are not intended for light domestic use — the specification is firmly aimed at professional environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a standard material in commercial hospitality tableware precisely because it tolerates the high temperatures and repeated cycles of commercial dishwashers. The reactive glaze is designed to maintain its appearance under regular machine washing in a professional environment.
- Reactive glazes produce natural variation during the firing process, so each mug will differ slightly in tone, depth and patterning. This is an intentional characteristic of the Aurora range rather than a quality inconsistency, and it is generally considered an advantage in hospitality settings looking to add character to their table presentation.
- The Aurora collection is backwards compatible with Steelite's Revolution and Vesuvius ranges, so operators can combine pieces across those ranges without a mismatch in form or scale. This is useful if you are extending an existing tableware scheme or want to introduce the burnt emerald colourway alongside existing stock.
