Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Lapis Cups 228ml 8oz (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Lapis Cup is a 228ml (8oz) cup finished in a deep blue reactive glaze, sold in packs of twelve. It is made from alumina vitrified ceramic, which is the standard material used across Steelite's professional tableware ranges and is well suited to the demands of commercial dishwashing cycles and everyday front-of-house service.

The Aurora range uses reactive glazes applied in combination to produce natural variation in colour and surface effect. Because no two pieces are identical, the finish has a handcrafted appearance that works well across a range of dining styles, from relaxed café settings to more considered restaurant presentations. The Lapis colourway sits within a broader Aurora palette, and the range is designed to be compatible with both the Revolution and Vesuvius ranges, which gives operators some flexibility when building or extending a tabletop scheme.

In practical terms, alumina vitrified ceramic offers good resistance to chipping and thermal shock compared with standard earthenware, making it a reasonable choice for high-turnover environments where cups are handled frequently and washed at volume. It is worth noting that reactive glaze finishes can show variation between production batches, so ordering sufficient stock at one time is advisable if consistency across a cover count matters to you.

This cup is primarily suited to coffee and hot beverage service in restaurants, cafés, hotels, and contract catering operations. The 228ml capacity works well for standard filter coffee or café au lait-style serves. For espresso or smaller serves, smaller-format cups within the Aurora range may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this cup fits your existing tableware scheme or service style, we are happy to talk it through before you place an order.
