Product Description
The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Burnt Emerald Round Stacking Tray is a small-format flatware piece from Steelite's Aurora collection, produced in alumina vitrified ceramic. At 100mm across, these trays are sized for sides, amuse-bouches, sauces, and small dessert presentations. The reactive glaze process gives each piece a distinctive burnt emerald finish with natural tonal variation, meaning no two items are entirely identical — a characteristic of reactive glazes rather than a manufacturing inconsistency.
In a busy service environment, consistency of presentation matters. Because these trays are part of the Aurora collection, they sit alongside and stack with other Aurora and Vesuvius pieces, which is useful when building a coordinated table setting or when plates and accompaniment trays need to store and transport together between covers. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a durable, chip-resistant body well suited to the handling demands of professional front-of-house use, including dishwasher cycling at commercial temperatures.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Reactive glaze finish adds visual character without relying on elaborate plating
- Stackable form reduces storage footprint during service and mise en place
- Compatible with Aurora and Vesuvius ranges for coordinated presentation
- Alumina vitrified ceramic body withstands repeated commercial dishwasher use
- Supplied in packs of 12, practical for covers-based ordering
These trays are suited to restaurants, hotels, and event caterers looking to add considered colour to their table presentation without high fragility or inconsistent quality. The 100mm size is a supplement piece rather than a main plate, so operators should consider their cover count and breakage rates when deciding on pack quantities. For larger formats within the Aurora range, other sizes are available across the catalogue.
If you're building a coordinated table setting across multiple Aurora pieces or want to discuss quantities for a specific cover count, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is the standard body material for professional flatware precisely because it tolerates repeated commercial dishwasher cycles at high temperatures without significant degradation to the glaze or the ceramic body.
- Reactive glazes produce natural tonal variation, so there will be subtle differences between individual pieces. This is an intentional characteristic of the Aurora range rather than a quality issue, and most operators find it adds to the overall table aesthetic rather than detracting from it.
- That depends on how the trays are being used — whether they appear on every cover, only on certain courses, and what breakage buffer you want to carry. As a general guide, it is worth factoring in at least 20–25% above your working cover count to allow for breakages and dishwasher rotation. If you're unsure, we're happy to help you work through the numbers.
