Product Description
The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Lapis round stacking tray is a 135mm ceramic piece from Steelite's Aurora range, sold in packs of twelve. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it is finished with a reactive glaze that produces the distinctive Lapis blue colouration — a natural variation in tone and depth that is characteristic of this glaze technique rather than a manufacturing inconsistency.
Aurora is designed to be backwards compatible with both the Revolution and Vesuvius ranges, which makes it a practical choice for operations that already hold stock from either of those collections. The ability to mix across ranges without visual discord gives kitchen teams more flexibility when building a presentation style or rotating stock through service.
In a busy kitchen environment, the alumina vitrified ceramic construction handles the demands of regular commercial dishwashing and the knocks that come with high-volume plating and service. The stacking profile keeps storage compact in pass areas or back-of-house shelving.
- Reactive glaze finish produces natural colour variation suited to modern plating styles
- Compatible with existing Revolution and Vesuvius range pieces
- Compact stacking form suits tight storage in pass or prep areas
- Suitable for starters, sides, desserts, and sharing plates
- Supplied in a pack of twelve, practical for consistent table and service covers
This piece works well in restaurants, hotels, and casual dining operations where a considered table aesthetic matters without sacrificing durability. It is equally at home as a side dish or dessert plate as it is for small sharing portions.
If you are building out a full table setting across multiple covers or want to confirm compatibility with your existing Steelite stock, the team are happy to advise before you place an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the Aurora range is designed to be backwards compatible with both the Vesuvius and Revolution collections, so you can introduce Lapis pieces alongside existing stock without a jarring visual break. This is particularly useful when refreshing a table setting gradually rather than replacing everything at once.
- The Lapis finish is produced using a reactive glaze, which means each piece will carry slight natural variation in tone and depth. This is intentional to the design rather than a quality issue, and it suits contemporary and informal dining settings well. For more formal environments where a highly uniform finish is expected, it is worth viewing samples before committing to a full order.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-established material in commercial tableware, chosen for its resistance to chipping and its ability to withstand repeated high-temperature dishwashing cycles. Under normal service conditions it performs reliably, though as with all ceramic tableware, the practical lifespan will depend on how pieces are handled, stored, and washed on site.
