Product Description
The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius City Lapis mug is a 285ml café-style mug finished in a distinctive lapis blue reactive glaze. Aurora pieces are produced using alumina vitrified ceramic, a material chosen for its durability and chip resistance in everyday commercial service. The reactive glazing process means each piece carries slight natural variation in colour and tone — an intentional characteristic of the range rather than a defect.
In practical service terms, alumina vitrified ceramic holds up well under the rigours of busy café and restaurant environments. The material is suited to commercial dishwasher cycles and handles the stacking and handling that comes with high-volume beverage service. The City Lapis colourway works particularly well where operators want to add a considered visual element to their table or counter presentation without committing to heavily decorated or pattern-heavy crockery.
A few points worth noting before ordering:
- Reactive glazes produce natural colour variation — no two pieces are identical
- Aurora is cross-compatible with the Steelite Revolution and Vesuvius ranges, which helps when mixing pieces across a table setting
- Sold in packs of 12, which suits initial cover builds or restocking existing sets
- Alumina vitrified ceramic construction is suited to commercial dishwashers
- The 285ml capacity is well suited to flat whites, cortados, and standard café beverages
This mug suits cafés, restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations looking to add colour to their beverage service while keeping a practical, durable product in hand. If you are building a full table setting or need guidance on quantities relative to your cover count, we are happy to help you work through what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a material widely used in commercial catering crockery specifically because it tolerates high-temperature commercial dishwasher cycles. It is more resistant to chipping and thermal shock than standard earthenware or porcelain.
- Not exactly. The Aurora range uses reactive glazing, which means the glaze responds differently during firing on each individual piece. The result is natural variation in tone and depth across the lapis colourway — this is a deliberate characteristic of the range, not a quality issue.
- Aurora is designed to be backwards compatible with both the Steelite Revolution and Vesuvius ranges, so mixing pieces across a table setting is straightforward. If you are building a broader table presentation and want to confirm which pieces work together, we can advise before you order.
