Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Lapis Mugs 114ml (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Lapis mug is a small-format espresso and coffee mug finished in a distinctive lapis colourway, produced using reactive glazes that create natural variation in tone and surface texture across each piece. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it is built to withstand the rigours of commercial dishwashing and regular front-of-house handling.

The Aurora range is designed to sit alongside both the Revolution and Vesuvius collections, which gives operators the flexibility to introduce colour accents into an existing table setting without committing to a complete tableware overhaul. The reactive glaze process means no two pieces are identical, which suits venues looking to add character to their presentation without resorting to heavily decorated or printed wares.

In practical service terms, alumina vitrified ceramic offers good chip resistance relative to standard earthenware, which helps reduce breakage costs over time in busy café and restaurant environments. The lapis finish holds up well under repeated machine washing without significant glaze fade, provided standard commercial dishwasher cycles are used.

• Suitable for espresso, short black, and macchiato service
• Compatible with the wider Aurora, Revolution, and Vesuvius ranges
• Reactive glaze finish adds visual interest without printed decoration
• Sold in packs of 12, practical for stock management and cover matching

This mug is best suited to independent cafés, restaurant dessert and coffee service, and hotel breakfast or lounge operations where tableware presentation matters. It is a compact format, so operators running high-volume filter coffee service may want to consider a larger-capacity piece from the same range.

If you are building a table setting across multiple ranges or want to discuss how the Aurora collection fits with your current Steelite stock, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
