Product Description
The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Cup in Lapis is a 350ml beverage cup finished in a deep blue reactive glaze, sold in a pack of twelve. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it is part of Steelite's Aurora collection, which uses layered reactive glazes to produce colour variation and contrast effects that give each piece a degree of individual character within a consistent palette.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a practical choice for commercial tableware. It is denser and more resistant to chipping than standard earthenware, which matters in environments where crockery is handled at pace and passes through commercial dishwashers multiple times a day. The Lapis glaze holds its colour well under repeated wash cycles, making it a reliable option where presentation consistency is important over time.
The Aurora range is designed to work alongside Steelite's Revolution and Vesuvius ranges, which is worth knowing if you are building or extending a table setting across multiple piece types. This cup sits well within a mixed-range approach where operators want visual cohesion without committing every item to a single collection.
- Suitable for hot beverage service in café, restaurant, hotel and contract catering environments
- Consistent colouring within a reactive glaze finish that varies naturally between pieces
- Compatible with commercial dishwashers in high-cycle kitchen operations
- Works within a broader Aurora, Revolution or Vesuvius table setting
If you are sourcing crockery across a full table cover or matching into an existing Steelite range, it is worth talking through the options before placing a larger order. We are happy to help you work out quantities and range compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is well suited to commercial dishwasher use and is a standard material choice for high-cycle catering environments. The Lapis reactive glaze is designed to retain its appearance through repeated wash cycles, though as with all coloured glazes, the longevity of the finish depends on water quality and the chemistry of the detergent used.
- The Aurora range is designed to be backwards compatible with Steelite's Revolution and Vesuvius ranges, so these cups can work within a mixed table setting. If you are building a full cover across multiple piece types, it is worth checking that the glaze tones sit well together before committing to volume — we can advise on this if helpful.
- Each pack contains 12 cups, so a 40-cover restaurant running two sittings would typically look at three to four packs as a working stock, allowing for breakages and dishwash turnaround time. The right quantity depends on your service model and how quickly crockery cycles through your operation — if you are unsure, we are happy to talk it through.
