Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Tulip Bowls Lapis 70mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Aurora Vesuvius Tulip Bowl in Lapis is a small-format serving bowl from Steelite's Aurora collection, supplied in packs of twelve. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these bowls are finished with reactive glazes that produce natural variation in colour and contrast across each piece — the deep Lapis blue tone giving a considered, cohesive look on the pass without appearing uniform or mass-produced.

In a busy service environment, consistency of presentation matters. The Aurora range is designed to sit alongside both the Revolution and Vesuvius ranges, which gives operators the flexibility to build a coordinated table setting from pieces already in service without needing to replace existing stock. The tulip form works well for amuse-bouches, pre-dessert courses, sides, and small portioned desserts, and the compact 70mm footprint keeps cover spacing tidy.

Alumina vitrified ceramic is a practical choice for commercial use — it offers good resistance to chipping and thermal shock compared with standard vitrified china, and the fired glaze holds its appearance well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. The reactive glaze finish is inherent to the firing process, so minor tonal variation between pieces is a characteristic of the range rather than a defect.

These bowls are best suited to restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining operations where considered presentation is part of the guest experience. They are a natural fit for kitchens already using the Aurora, Revolution, or Vesuvius ranges and looking to extend their cover without moving away from an established aesthetic. For higher-volume operations requiring larger pack quantities or a broader range of complementary pieces, it is worth discussing the full Aurora collection before ordering.
