Product Description
The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Tulip Bowl in Lapis is a 175mm bowl from the Aurora collection, supplied in packs of twelve. Aurora pieces are finished using reactive glazes applied in combination, producing natural variation in colour and tone across each item. The Lapis colourway delivers a deep blue with subtle contrast effects, giving the finished table presentation a considered, handcrafted quality without requiring bespoke or custom production.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these bowls are built to withstand the rigours of daily commercial service. Alumina vitrified ware is well regarded in professional kitchens for its resistance to chipping and thermal shock compared with standard vitrified china, which matters when pieces are cycling through dishwashers and being handled at speed during busy covers.
The tulip bowl shape makes these practical across a range of service applications — starters, sharing sides, pasta, risotto, and desserts all suit the profile well. The Aurora range is backwards compatible with both the Revolution and Vesuvius ranges, which is a practical consideration for operators who already hold stock in either of those collections and want to introduce colour without replacing everything at once.
Key operational considerations for front-of-house teams:
- Reactive glaze produces natural variation — no two pieces are identical
- Alumina vitrified ceramic offers good durability under high-turnover service
- Compatible with existing Revolution and Vesuvius range pieces
- Suitable for dishwasher use in commercial environments
- Sold in packs of twelve, supporting consistent cover sets
If you are building a new cover set or extending an existing one and would like guidance on quantities or complementary pieces within the Aurora range, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a standard material in professional tableware precisely because it holds up well under repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. As with all reactive-glazed ware, using the correct detergent concentrations will help preserve the glaze finish over time.
- That is inherent to the Aurora collection. Reactive glazes respond slightly differently during firing, so individual pieces will show natural variation in tone and pattern. This is a design characteristic rather than a defect, and it is worth briefing front-of-house teams accordingly so they can manage any guest queries confidently.
- Yes — Steelite designed the Aurora range to be backwards compatible with both the Revolution and Vesuvius ranges. This makes it practical to introduce Aurora pieces alongside existing stock without creating a visual mismatch, which is useful for operators refreshing a table concept gradually rather than replacing all covers at once.
