Product Description
These small round stacking trays are part of Steelite's Aurora range, built on the Vesuvius form. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, they carry a reactive glaze finish that produces natural variation in colour and tone across each piece — a deliberate characteristic of the Aurora process rather than a manufacturing inconsistency. The Lapis colourway sits in the blue tonal range. Each tray measures 75mm across and the pack contains twelve pieces.
In a busy service environment, the stackable format matters. Trays of this size are commonly used for sides, amuse-bouches, petit fours, condiments, or small sharing portions. Because they stack neatly, storage and section prep are straightforward, and the consistent form helps front-of-house staff handle and present them efficiently during service.
The alumina vitrified ceramic construction is well suited to the demands of commercial tableware use — it withstands the thermal cycling of a dishwasher environment and resists chipping better than standard earthenware. The reactive glaze, while distinctive in appearance, does not require any special handling beyond normal commercial dishwashing practice.
A practical consideration worth noting: because the Aurora glaze is reactive, colour variation between batches is inherent to the range. If you are matching to an existing Aurora service, it is worth discussing batch availability with us before ordering to ensure reasonable consistency across your cover count. The Aurora range is also designed to sit alongside Steelite's Revolution pieces, which can give operators flexibility when building a broader table presentation.
These trays work well in restaurants, hotel dining, and private member venues where presentation detail is important. For operations running very high cover volumes, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity or a more robust everyday range would better suit the pace of service.
If you would like to talk through how these fit into your existing tableware setup, we are happy to help you make the right call before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is the standard material for commercial tableware precisely because it withstands the thermal cycling and chemical exposure of dishwasher environments. No special handling is required beyond your normal commercial dishwashing practice.
- Because Aurora uses a reactive glaze process, some natural variation between individual pieces and between production batches is inherent to the range. If you are building on an existing Aurora service, we would recommend discussing batch availability with us before placing an order so we can advise on what is currently in stock.
- The 75mm size makes them most practical for sides, amuse-bouches, petit fours, small condiment portions, or sharing elements rather than main course plating. They are commonly seen in restaurant and hotel dining environments where presentation detail is part of the service offer.
