Product Description
The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius range brings together reactive glazes to produce pieces with genuine depth of colour and natural variation across each item. The Lapis colourway gives a rich, blue-toned finish that reads well under both natural and artificial dining room lighting. These 165mm round stacking trays are a practical serving piece suited to starters, sides, bread, and dessert applications, and the stacking profile means they store compactly on the pass or in service cupboards without risk of instability.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these trays are built to withstand the daily stresses of commercial service. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a dense, hard-wearing material commonly used in high-throughput hospitality environments precisely because it resists chipping and crazing better than standard earthenware or mid-fired alternatives. The Aurora glaze is designed to remain visually consistent through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles, which matters when maintaining a coherent table presentation across a busy cover count.
From an operational standpoint, the Aurora collection works well where operators want a distinctive look without investing in fully bespoke crockery. The range is backwards compatible with both the Revolution and Vesuvius ranges, which gives kitchens already using those collections the flexibility to introduce Aurora pieces without jarring mismatches across the table.
- Consistent colour and finish across the pack supports uniform table presentation
- Stacking profile reduces storage footprint on the pass and in service areas
- Compatible with Revolution and Vesuvius ranges for mixed-collection flexibility
- Alumina vitrified ceramic body handles repeated commercial dishwasher cycles reliably
These trays are well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and event catering operations looking for a tactile, coloured piece that complements contemporary plating styles. If you are building a table setting across multiple Steelite ranges or need guidance on quantities for a cover count, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a robust material well suited to the temperature and chemical demands of commercial dishwashers. The Aurora reactive glaze is formulated to maintain its appearance through repeated high-temperature wash cycles, which is an important practical consideration in busy dining operations.
- The Aurora range is designed to be backwards compatible with both the Vesuvius and Revolution ranges from Steelite, meaning the sizing and profile are consistent enough to mix across a table setting. This allows operators to introduce Aurora pieces gradually rather than replacing an entire collection at once.
- That depends on your cover count, service style, and how frequently crockery cycles through the wash during service. As a general guide, most operations aim for two to three times their seated cover count to maintain a buffer during peak service. If you are unsure what quantity suits your operation, it is worth discussing your setup with us before ordering.
